Dread Templar is a fast-paced first-person shooter that combines elements from both modern retro shooters and classics from the '90s like Doom, Quake and Hexen.

Become the scariest thing in hell and beyond, as you embark on your quest for vengeance in the intense, fast-paced FPS action of Dread Templar. The game is reminiscent of classics from the 90s, but with a modern twist, including gameplay mechanics like customizable skills, upgradeable weapons and many Dread Powers to unlock.

The game combines elements from both eras such as fast-paced gameplay, dashing, headshots and bullet time so you can enjoy the old-school shooting in a modern way!

You are a Dread Templar seeking revenge deep in the evil realm. Explore the levels and solve puzzles to find hidden weapons and upgrades. Face hordes of demons and bloodthirsty fiends using your rich arsenal of katana swords, firearms, and infernal weapons that will make YOU the scariest thing in Hell. Gain Dread Powers and customize your skills according to your playstyle, as they will help you in your battle against the dark forces in varied environments ranging from hell to frozen pirate ships rendered in retro, but surprisingly detailed pixel-art graphics style, accompanied by a head-banging original soundtrack.

The full release will feature two substantial new episodes, each containing five levels and a bossfight, a deadly new weapon, new enemies, puzzles and more. International players will also enjoy full text localisation in English, French, German, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese and Russian.

Dread Templar Early Access is now available on PC via Steam, GOG, and other digital stores for $14.99 USD / €14.99 EUR.
