Analysis of Cultic Chapter One, an excellent retro shooter

analysis, chapter, CULTIC, Excellent, Retro, Shooter

Worship Chapter One it’s a retro action shooter published by 3D Realms and solo developed by Jason Smith, from Jazz Games. The first feeling when you get in control is pure nostalgianot only in the graphics but in the whole, in the details, the music, the decor and the movement.

Is Cultic Chapter One episodic?

Something curious is that we are facing an episodic gameas the game’s subtitle makes it very clear, even though it’s not a chapter, yes, but a set of levels that we must overcome, making a total of 10which will take us about 4-5 hours to complete.

The episodic part is more noticeable in the story itself, which will leave us with honey on our lips and waiting for the next chapter (with its levels, which is the best). Too bad the game is not translated into Spanish, although there are not too many texts to read. We’re on the trail of a missing private detective.who in turn was investigating the disappearance of a girl.

In our research, we discover the existence of a most sinister cult, which is linked to disappearances and we must investigate it, in the face of all kinds of terrifying creatures.

The levels of this first chapter are quite varied. VSWe start in a cemetery, we pass by a pier, mines, crypts, an asylum and several other places that I will not reveal so as not to spoil the surprise. The size of them is quite good, some more than others, but none are excessively large. They are also open levels, you can move where you want and how you want.

Cultic Chapter 1 gameplay

The game of Worship Chapter One it’s pure retro shooterthere is no more, it is the DOOM or Wolfenstein of the time, varies between them according to the zones. We have multiple weapons to choose from (and find), items and ammo scattered around the stage, and secret areas to discover. We can also improve the weapons in the workbenches with those with weapon parts that we find. Many times we will have to look for a key or operate a mechanism in order to continue while defending ourselves from the enemies we encounter.

The enemies are not very varied but they benefit from a very neat design. From masked cultists to highly detailed and animated hellish beasts.

retro artistic section

The graphics are all retro you see, pixels with lots of style and personality. The scenarios also have a certain charm and that for me personally They kinda remind me of the legendary King’s Questespecially at 8 years old, but in more current times. The optimization is also good, yes it is true that in a very small area the game slowed down for no apparent reason, but nothing else. The game is also supports ultra-wide resolutions.

Something that is also very careful is the soundtrack, with quite dark themes depending on the zones and equally horrifying sound effects, in a good way.

Final evaluation

Ultimately, Worship Chapter One it’s a great game that while it is short due to its focus on chapters, it is completely replayable. Secrets, improvements and survival mode, where we will have to endure waves of enemies, expand the experience. The story is nothing special and as if that weren’t enough, it doesn’t have a Spanish translation. On the other hand, the graphics are a delight, the soundtrack accompanies at all times and above all, He’s funny.
