unlabelledView post →If you want something made in GZdoom, I've played Hands of Necromancy a bit and have enjoyed my time with it. Haven't finished it though. Alternatively, Vomitoreum is a short metroidvania style game done in GZdoom as well. It's only about 3 hours long so maybe wait for a sale to pick it up.

unlabelledView post →Every game I played in 2024! I have beaten all of them with the exception of Rise of the Ronin and Hands of Necromancy. I’m still working on those going into the new year lol. I played a lot less this past year than previous years. I’m hoping I can do 50% more this year.
unlabelledView post →Been playing a lot of Hands of Necromancy II lately and it really slaps. Literally made in an engine from the 90s and plays like a game from the 90s. It’s a “Doom Clone” that just came out. Got it on sale because I was interested in it and I have little regret. I’m loving it.
