If you think this is like Quake think again. It tries to feel like Quake in aesthetics but fails in giving you effective weapons and enemies with flinch states. Just go play Soldier of Fortune on GOG if you want something like Quake. Also, the card gameplay mechanic is nothing but a gimmick as you can only hold 1 to 2 cards I believe, so it's replace a card almost every single time. So there's no real player progression and your gameplay modifiers from the card don't really affect the gameplay much at all. Which was kind of the main selling point (what separated the game from other Quake-likes aside from graphics). And for goodness sake, why did you make the shotgun the worst shotgun in Arena Shooter history?

- Upgrade your weapons to unlock additional fire modes and synergies.
- Make your own levels with the integrated Level Editor! (This will officially come out with the full release of the game.)

Badass Protagonist
Queedo the Gravedigger, dumb as hell but as strong as an ox, sets out to avenge his father while using his trusty Total Uber Shovel to beat the living crap out of his enemies and give them a first-class ticket to the underworld.

Big boy has opinions: Queedo comments on what's going on with his typical sense of rotten humor and Cockney accent.

Comic book cutscenes fill in the blanks and drive the story forward.
Find and collect comic book pages to learn more about the world and the backstory.

See Queedo's face react to events and get smashed to a pulp when you're getting your ass handed to you!

This is a super fun game to just shoot and move around in. plus hordelord is fun. its been fun going through this blind
Gravelord is a good game with a few little annoyances like the absence of a mini map, the head-shots do not inflict critical damage, the momentum in the movement that is a tiny little bit too much to taste. But that being said there are a lot of areas where Gravelord does well. There are not a lot of indie boomer shooters out there with a significant effort made on the story telling, Gravelord does it and does it well. the first thing you will notice is the charisma of your hero, your gravedigger is badass and every now and then you will find cards in levels that will unravel a comics book about a union of gravediggers dealing with death itself. Each level will allow you to customize your character build with a set of 3 cards which can completely change the way you want to play for example you could play heavy melee or glass canon. I found the maps to be well designed as well, they will not immerse you in the story but you won't get lost and there are platforming puzzles and secrets w...
