Historical setting

A brutal old-school shooter that starts in the trenches of World War I and descends into an occult hellscape of vampires, demons and zombies. Its appeal lies in mixing period firearms, melee and dark magic with a combo system, in the spirit of Painkiller but with noticeable budget roughness.

You play Rayne, a half-vampire agent who carves through occult Nazi forces in the 1930s with blades, guns and gory finishing moves. A straightforward, brutal action romp with a pulpy tone.

Splatterhouse

Dread and tension

Dante's Inferno

Melee combat with weapons or fists
