Indie developer doekuramori has just launched Beyond Citadel, the much-anticipated follow-up to their cult favorite, The Citadel, released in 2020. Gamers can now dive into this action-packed adventure on Windows PC via Steam, where it’s currently available at a discounted price until January 16th.
Beyond Citadel pays homage to the classic shooters of the 90s, delivering an anime-inspired retro experience that combines fast-paced combat with realistic gun mechanics. Players will venture into a formidable mechanical fortress bristling with danger, striving to uncover the secrets hidden below its surface.
The storyline unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity’s last bastion, The Citadel, has succumbed to the menacing Trumpeters of the Apocalypse. These formidable beings now rule over what’s left of humankind. To restore freedom, players assume the role of the “Martyr,” humanity’s final hope, guided by a mysterious signal that beckons them to dismantle the reign of the Trumpeters and expose the truth lurking beneath the Citadel.
Beyond Citadel offers a single-player first-person shooter experience rich with 2.5D anime-style graphics. The game impressively marries nostalgic elements with state-of-the-art mechanics.
Players will wield an array of weapons ranging from historical black powder firearms to futuristic energy-based arsenals. Each weapon demands a unique approach, featuring variable conditions and the possibility of malfunction, adding depth and realism to the gameplay.
Beyond Citadel’s richly crafted environments include both indoor and outdoor levels, replete with a variety of adversaries—from ordinary foot soldiers to massively armored vehicles and terrifying creatures. Exploring these levels also allows players to evolve their skills and strategies against increasingly challenging foes.
Throughout their journey, players are never truly alone, thanks to a team of allies who provide essential support. The game also boasts exhilarating destructive effects, painting a vivid picture of its dark futuristic setting.
The mission is clear: dismantle the Trumpeters, avert the Apocalypse, and liberate the world. The fate of humanity rests in your hands. Will you answer the call and redefine destiny in Beyond Citadel?
