There is always a studio that takes the initiative to mix churras with merinos and take different genres to see how they get along and, the truth is that until now, very few had thought about taking the spirit of Loss and put a graphics section similar to that of 2D games pixel art that they love so much now.

If we look at the description of Steamthey reveal to us that Cataclysm it’s a “shooter inspired by science fiction pixel art in 2D running on GZDoom.
