Film Video games and Vaporware have launched the neon-soaked FPS Past Sundown into Steam Early Entry as we speak. It’s anticipated to remain there for six months earlier than its full launch.

Past Sundown is a part of an oncoming wave of first-person shooters constructed within the GZDoom Engine (an expanded supply port of the engine that 1993’s Doom was constructed on), together with Supplice and Selaco. It payments itself as a cyberpunk shooter with “a wealthy story and RPG components.” You play as a lady with unbelievable talents and no reminiscence. One other lady guarantees to present your recollections again should you kick some ass.

I’m so uninterested in amnesiac protagonists. However except for that, Past Sundown has lived on my wishlist for some time now, so I’m positively going to test it out. It seems fairly fab with its lo-fi aesthetics injected with neon. I like raycasting. I cope with 3D consistently, and 2D video games are rife within the indie and small-budget spheres, so I recognize it when a sport provides me 2.5D.

The RPG components embrace side-quests and talent upgrades. It additionally encompasses a soundtrack supplied by Karl Vincent, who’s touted as a “synthwave legend.” I’m going to must take their phrase for it. Past Sundown additionally touts its modability, which I feel is kind of a given contemplating its open-source engine.

Past Sundown is offered now in Steam Early Entry. Vaporware is planning to have its full launch in six months. The Early Entry FAQ states that the present state of the sport is “largely completed – solely minor tweaks and polishes are left.”
