Tenebrous Dungeon

Tenebrous Dungeon is an ode to an age long past. The graphics are actually quite beautiful for a game striving to pay tribute to an early 90's style. I've found the mechanics of the game just complex enough that the gameplay is engaging and fun. You could spend a day on Tenebrous Dungeon and it would be a good day.

Just a bit repetitive and not everything is documented terribly well (how you have to click to both load and then fire weapons, that you can't melee attack when you've got the bow loaded, etc.), but once you figure out the quirks and as long as you don't try to play it all in one go and get burnt out, there's a fun little game here! I especially like the creepy ambiance of the music, and the art style that's clearly retro without trying to directly ape any specific game. With a bit more polish I'd say this one could really shine, but even as-is it's worth a play if you like both dungeon crawls and OG FPSes.

This is a fun old school FPS that borrows Wolfenstein graphics and an Elder Scrolls inspired plot. If you missed out on some dungeon crawlers from the 90s, you'll enjoy this. Cons: This game is a tad repetitive.

Update #1: I've encountered my first boss and after that, the game throws new enemies at you. It hasn't gotten insanely complex or anything yet but you do have to be more careful as the enemies do more damage. I'll update again after I've played some more. I'm not very far into this yet but already I'm getting like a Wolfenstein 3D/Doom vibe mixed with some fantasy RPG's and Project Warlock. I'm really digging the vibe and the combat so far. It's not quite as fleshed out as some of those other games are but for the price, you really can't beat it if you're looking for something new that fits a particular look and style. I've started a video series you can check out if you want to see the game in action and decide for yourselves if it's something you might like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE3mjO8JoBE&list=PL08FwntTpxPDvqVagbAbPtYDbTCp3N7nL

Summary: Tenebrous Dungeon is a solid and fun old-school FPS experience that pays utmost homage to the days of Wolfenstein 3D that while tries new things, does need some refinement in places. 7/10 A full detailed video review can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7bHk1vjmec Plot: The plot to Tenebrous Dungeon like many of its kind is quite simple and basic and acts more as a basis to build the world, setting and an objective for the player more than anything. But with that said it has plenty of lore and backstory to sink your teeth into that leaves nothing untold. It is interesting, well-written and well-paced, giving something for everyone to enjoy. Gameplay: Tenebrous Dungeon attempts some new twists on the standard format, but keeps everything that is loved about the Wolfenstein 3D format at the same time. Despite some of the new ideas needing refinement, as a whole the gameplay is solid and addictive and will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Atmosphere: The atmosphere to Tenebrous Dungeon is pretty good. It keeps in theme with the retro design and inspiration with a soundtrack that is equally as fitting. While the soundtrack may not amply the atmosphere of the environments, it does however give an increased sense of urgency the closer you get to your end goal, giving that sense you are getting ever closer to the evil you came to defeat. Conclusion: Tenebrous Dungeon isn't perfect, but the decision to try new ideas with what has become a rather tired format is brave and deserves respect. The gameplay as a whole is solid and everything that is to be loved about the Wolfenstein 3D format is there. And while the new ideas don't always work perfectly and do require some refine, they don't take away from the experience as a whole. It may not be a great game, but definitely a good one. 7/10

Poor character control. A good attempt at making an old-school game, but the games of the past were more interesting and elaborate.

if a game is repetitiv like that it needs other qualitys that is why wolfenstein was so good at its time they understood the problem thats why they gave "good" weapon sounds and overall combat feedback like death animations screams splatter and stuff like that but tenebrous has not even a good mouse movment wich kills the game instantly combined with no combat feedback at all no way its just a pain to play sry but it was or is a nice try i like the setting and the ground idea but it needs a bit more then it has right now first of all get the mouse to work better then a bit splatter and sound and we will see us in the future maby

I loved this game so much! It plays alot like Wolfenstein 3D, but it has it's own unique style and game mechanics. I also really like the shadow effect option the game gives you, but I had to turn it down since I was getting scared of seeing demons pop out of the shadows. This definitely brought me back to the days when I used to play on my old Windows 3 PC as a teenager. I also love that I can use my Xbox 360 controller with this game, it feels very natural. So, if you are old like me and want to take a trip down memory-lane, I'd recommend playing some Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots in the background while playing Tenebrous Dungeon.

Jeu à la première personne qui rend hommage au jeu se passant dans des donjons tout en cassant la gueule à des monstres pour arriver jusqu'au Boss final. Le jeu propose plusieurs difficultés, sachant que le jeu est déjà pas mal complexe. Contient quelques bugs de collisions. Par contre la direction artistique est digne d'un jeu des années 90 (musique qui boucle et pas beaucoup de son et graphisme minimaliste au format pixel)
