Enter Hell With Retro-Inspired Arena Shooter ‘Demon Pit’

Published

on

Publisher Digerati and developers Psychic Software and DoomCube are dipping their feet into the 90s shooter aesthetic with their arcade-style arena first-person shooter game, Demon Pit.

A “wave-based shooter from Hell”, Demon Pit appears to be a mashup of Quake 3: Arena and Painkiller, with the expected gore and chunky early 3D graphics reminiscent of early 3D shooters. The story is pretty barebones: You slaughtered demons in your former life, and now you’re trapped in Hell to do it again. This time, you’re doing it in an arena.

You can expect to enter the Demon Pit arena on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, or PC via Steam in Q3 or Q4 2019.

Battle Ancient Monstrosities in the Antarctic in ‘UNFROST’ [Trailer]

Published

For those wanting more wintery horror games, Nord Unit has you covered with their upcoming co-op Antarctic horror FPS, UNFROST. Coming to Steam, the game has you braving the elements in Antarctica as you hunt for tough-as-nails ancient otherworldly beings that require some heavy firepower to take down.

UNFROST is set in Antarctica, where you and your squad seek out ancient entities known as the Riftborne. It’s easier said than done, as you’ll need to gather evidence, survive extreme conditions, and prepare to launch a nuclear strike, which is the only weapon capable of killing them. Of course, you’ll also need to figure out how to escape before the strike hits.

But, in order to launch the strike, you’ll need to figure out just the right tunings in order to actually damange the Riftborne, which cannot be defeated with conventional weapons. That involves exploring abandoned stations, frozen ruins, and anomaly zones to recover samples, scan anomalies, and analyze evidence.

You’ll need to work together with your squad by divvying up tasks, sharing evidence, and transporting equipment. For example, one squad member may investigate anomalies, while another secures the perimeter or hauls critical equipment through a blizzard.

And yes, as you might have guessed, the Antarctic weather will be your first and foremost foe in UNFROST. You must brave the freezing temperatures and inclement weather while managing warmth, supplies, and sanity. The longer your mission lasts, the tougher it will be to survive.

Obviously, the Riftborne isn’t going to wait around for you. In fact, it’ll be hunting you from the very start. As such, you’ll need to constantly adapt in order to avoid certain death. Once you’ve determined the Riftborne’s weakness, you must configure the correct nuclear payload, launch the strike, and get out before impact. You don’t want to be around when the bombs drop.
