This is honestly a good romp that dates back to Wolfenstein 3d-esque mazes when it comes to how the game maps out it's arenas. For what it is, throughout the game you go through the episodes, find a new weapon that compliments the entire arsenal you have, alongside featuring spells as a back-up and/or buff to the weapons you're using.

It's a nice light-rpg FPS game in which you do have stats, such as points to invest into your mana, health, ammo cap alongside strength (melee in this game actually feels pretty hefty despite only featuring an axe and dagger). Alongside this, for the base guns you do get they never feel underpowered, but they can be upgraded into two separate variants (you can only choose one) that slaps a gimmick onto it. Depending on how you play, most variants will serve a purpose, but there are some weapons that do have the obvious choice, with the alternative being something okay. As a future warning, don't choose the nailgun variant for the submachine gun, it actually makes it useless since nails bounce off enemies and damage you, making a room a whole fiasco of angry nails seeking anything to spill blood.

Anywho, the game does start off slow since you start off as a weakass warlock, but by episode 2 with points invested into both health, ammo cap, alongside maybe a weapon variant unlocked, you're pretty much golden. This is coming off of playing hard, which honestly, wasn't so hard. You may die once, and there are lives in this game to where once you run out, you have to restart an entire campaign (which I wasn't a fan of), but on my second run I pretty much never had to worry about lives or really dying with health and ammo cap beefed until maybe the final two episodes. As when you start to realize that with this game sticking to wolf 3d's formula, you're pretty much expecting monster closets every time you either toggle a switch, grab a key, or walk into a room, so just scoot forward, then back, then blast. Rinse and repeat.

Overall it's a good boomer shooter and from what I hear the second one is leaps ahead of the first, but that doesn't mean that this game is heavily marred with flaws. It has it's quirks in it trying to be an rpg, roguelike and retro fps shooter while mainly only succeeding in the latter, but the former elements aren't bad either. Just weaker. It all adds up though to being a nice casual adventure through a well made boomer shooter. Full recommend, especially on sale.
