Gravelord is an upcoming boomer shooter that is set to debut later this year on Steam. The team at Fatbot Games says that the game "takes the best features" from classics in the genre such as Quake and Doom, and then sprinkles in some RPG elements like Tarot Cards for upgrades on top of it all.
Gravelord places you in the shoes of Queedo the Gravedigger, whom is said to be "dumb as hell but strong as a horse." I unironically love that name! Queedo will face off against the armies of darkness with his Total Uber Shovel and an arsenal of guns.
The Tarot Card upgrade system will let Queedo unlock new powers that allow you to build to your playstyle. Gravelord will also include a level editor that allows players to create their own maps and even entire e3pisodes to share with others.
