Gravelord

Gravelord is a fast-paced first-person shooter in the vein of Doom, Quake, and other great classics from the 90s. The main character, Queedo the Gravedigger, dumb as hell but strong as a horse, is out fighting against the armies of darkness with his trusty Total Uber Shovel. With a powerful, hard-hitting arsenal of guns at his disposal, each with unique effects that change the way he combats his foes, the minions of evil are set to ride a one-way ticket back to hell! Use special Tarot Cards that unlock new powers to help Queedo ease the souls of his enemies into the afterlife. Find perfect synergies and build your own unique deck of cards that fits your playstyle. Gravelord will also include a level editor that will allow players to create their own maps and even whole episodes when the full game launches!

  • Fast-Paced Combat: Run and jump around the levels like a complete badass, and smack the living crap out of enemies, using an arsenal of classical guns.
  • Retro Level Design: Explore hand-crafted levels built for fun rather than realism that naturally guide you to your next objective. Find deviously hidden secrets and various power-ups.
  • Badass Protagonist: We're bringing back the sassy remarks like Duke Nukem mixed with the rotten charisma of Frankenstein's monster.
  • Tarot Cards: Collect magical cards to significantly boost your power and combat options, find the best synergies, and build up your own deck that fits your playstyle.
  • Spectral Shovel: Dash around using your Shovel to get to places quickly and confuse your foes.
  • Gun Upgrades: Upgrade your guns to unlock additional brutal fire modes and synergies.
  • Comic Book: Collect pages of a comic book to piece together the backstory of the game.
  • Level Editor: Use the integrated Level Editor to make levels or even whole episodes of your dreams.
