## About This Game
Brutal Fate is a fast-paced ultra-violent retro first-person shooter from the
creator of the multiple award-winning mod “Brutal Doom”, inspired by 80’s and
90’s sci-fi movies. It blends the best features of classic shooters such as
non-linear level design, a huge arsenal and large enemy variety with some
modern aspects, making it a unique mix that does not try to hang on nostalgia,
but be something of it’s own.
## Plot
It is the year 2251. You are a Staff Sergeant serving as a platoon leader for
the G.O.A.S.M.C. As the colony on Jupiter’s moon Callisto has gone silent,
your battalion is called in to investigate. After a four-month journey, you
arrive only to witness the most disturbing scene. Both the government
personnel and one million civilians that lived in this colony, were merciless
slaughtered – their bodies defiled in unspeakable macabre rituals. An
unfathomable evil lurks in these dead streets now, its hungry eyes gazing upon
you.
Suddenly the battleship is destroyed, over half of your attack force still
inside. The surviving marines are helplessly stuck on this dead planet with no
kind of support or a way out. A legion of interdimensional creatures arise
from the darkness and surround you. Your one and only objective: Survive!
Will you fight alongside your brothers and sisters in arms and try to find a
way to escape this nightmare? Or throw your own humanity away and dive into
the abyss for a chance of your own survival?
## Do you want to know more?
* This game features a huge arsenal of weapons that may require the use of all your keyboard numbers to scroll through. We got battle rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, smart missiles, laser rifles, nukes, knives, sharp sticks, you name it.
* Fight an entire circus of monstrosities, carnivorous demons, zombie-like cultists, shuffling supernatural incomprehensible abominations from beyond, and corporate henchmen that want to make sure you won’t leave this haunted colony alive after seeing everything you just did. Just like in classic fps style, each enemy type acts like a piece of chess made to compensate the weakness of another. Gib them into delicious meat pieces, burn them to ashes, almost every enemy features locational damage and dozens of death animations, including different deaths for different weapons used.
* Explore huge non-linear levels, look for secrets to find special rare alternative ammo types for your weapons, health and armor upgrades, and much more. No “procedural generated levels”, no faux-retro arena level design, just handcrafted levels by someone with over 10 years of experience in classic game level design. Get the feeling of exploring believable locations, fight enemies in many different scenarios, scripted or not, pick them alone or in small groups and sometimes try to come up with a strategy to fight up to 50 enemies at once.
* Command your fellow marines out of this hell. Your character’s rank as a Staff Sergeant isn’t only for show. Find any survivors of this disastrous operation and they will follow you. They have an acceptable AI that will actually follow your commands, won’t block your movement, and will kill enemies for you. Magnificent, isn’t it?
* Mod it until it breaks. Running on the highly reliable GZDoom engine, this game is extremely easy to be modified. You can make mods, add custom weapons, enemies, levels, and entire new user-made campaigns.
## How this game will work on Early Access?
You will have a demo campaign of about 6 to 8 levels, 2 boss fights and at
least one Horde Mode map (where you must defend an arena from waves of
enemies). A free 2 level demo will be included the same day Early Access
launches.
As days goes by, the Early Access builds will keep getting more levels
(generally Horde Mode levels, because they are the best kind of levels to test
the gameplay aspects of new weapons and monsters being added), and eventually
in 2022, the game will receive a full launch with it’s main plot-driven
campaign.
