History VideoGame / Prodeus

* NoEnding: [[spoiler: The game just ends abruptly when you jump into the final portal leading to a new dimension, with a short text epilogue that basically says the war between Prodeus and Chaos continues (with Prodeus on the verge on winning) and the Vessel is passing into an unknown future. About the only thing about the final level that would clue you into the fact it's the final level is the fact it takes place in a boss arena and you fight the Hunter, the creature you saw briefly in the prologue level.]]

* DualWielding: The Shredders, a pair of assault rifles that the PlayerCharacter always wields one in each hand.

* DeflectorShields: Chaos enemies can

* ShortRangeShotgun: The primary fire of the regular shotgun has decent range for a shotgun, but is still ineffective at long range. However, the alt-fire is a molten slug that can be used for sniping. Played straight with the Super Shotgun, which annihilates enemies at close range, but can't hit the broad side of a barn beyond a few meters.

* ExcusePlot: The campaign's story in the Early Access version is a thinly-veiled justification for having a cool dude shoot demons with cool guns.

Prodeus is a retro-inspired FirstPersonShooter developed by Bounding Box Software (led by former members of Raven Software) and published by [[Creator/HumbleBundle Humble Games]]. The game was released in Early Access on Steam and GOG on November 2020.

* TheCorruption: Chaos is apparently able to turn humans into aggressive zombies, many of which can still use their firearms. Prodeus in turn is able to turn Chaos creatures into Prodeus creatures, turning them blue and making them stronger in the process.

* {{Retraux}}: Played with. Mechanically, it resembles classic arena shooters of old with a few modern touches. Graphically, the game looks very modern and is visually impressive, but the character and enemy models use [[StylisticSuck a pixellated "sprite" style with a low animation frame-rate]] causing them to look similar to the sprites used by arena shooters like the original ''DOOM''.

!''Prodeus'' contains examples of:

* WaveMotionTuningFork: The Arc Rail - a great LightningGun and a great SniperRifle, in one convenient package.

* AntagonistTitle: According to pre-release info, Prodeus is an enigmatic [[DeusEstMachina AI god]] whom the protagonist wants to take down via [[MoreDakka ridiculous amounts of shooting]].

* SceneryGorn: Being inspired by shooters from the 90's means this is a key trope of the game. Levels will be decorated with lots and lots of enemies' blood once the player is finished with them.

* LevelCreator: The Early Access version features an extremely detailed level creator function that can be used to make custom maps. WordOfGod even states that the entire campaign was made in their own level creator.
