Bohemia Interactive and Destructive Creations are going the “boomer shooter” route with their latest title in Nailcrown. Described as a fast, brutal dark-fantasy first-person shooter, Nailcrown combines old-school shooter intensity with engaging melee combat, high-intensity gunplay, and a dynamic gore system for those in need of their brutality fix.
Coming on Steam, the story for Nailcrown sees you in a world swallowed by shadow, where death is not the end, but the beginning. You have been summoned back from the grave, you rise with a purpose: to aid your brother (who happens to be a necromancer) in the conquest for the Nailcrown. Along the way, you will piece together his secrets as you advance through dungeons, fortified castles, and haunted villages.
Fight through enemies alone or in cooperative play, you’ll have access to an array of implements to dish out punishment. Tear through flesh with the nailgun, or use the ever-reliant shotgun to blow away your foes. If you’re feeling up close and personal, you’ll also have access to a sword and warhammer to do some smashing and slashing.
The results of which make use of Nailcrown’s dynamic gore system. Shatter bones, splatter blood, and send limbs flying with brutal strikes.
In keeping with the old-school vibes, you’ll uncover secrets and improve your character at shrines. You can also find upgrades for your weapons to make them even deadlier.
And if your bloodlust still hasn’t been quenched, you can go at it with friends in brutal Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes.
