Pit of Doom

Gameplay
Pit of Doom is a hybrid of FPS controls, roguelike RPG mechanics and procedurally generated environments, developed with the Unreal engine. Its combination of art, science fiction world-building and gameplay is unique. Nothing quite like it has been done before.

Most of the available FPS games on the market offer a minimal selection of weapons and opponents, very simple power-ups and little investment in building your character. Most of the available RPG’s on the market are long-term investments in a single story-line, no limited multiplayer options and very little replayability. Other indie teams have attempted to combine procedurally generated levels, FPS controls and roguelike mechanics in the past, but they seldom brought realistic 3D art, science fiction setting and survival horror atmosphere to the table.

Pit of Doom is something different from what has come before. And that’s a good thing. We are trying to create a game that will re-invent a genre. Pit of Doom now has most of its core features in place. It is stable and playable for the development team, and we are ready for players to put it to the test and help shape its content.

Controls
Currently the game supports keyboard and mouse on a standard PC screen. Use of console controllers is on the developer wish-list for the future. Your camera and inventory controls are a standard first- person shooter model with some additional inventory and feedback.
