More fun than I anticipated! Bravo! This was honestly more enjoyable than I thought, I played through the story twice, it was odd in the beginning but once you get used to the controls its fun straight forward. The enemies are all different and unique, yes all the enemies are Anime Waifu's. Perfection at the finest. The level designs are great, there is one hard jump at the lava level that requires a lot of trial and errors to make, but if you time it right then you'll make it. The boss fights were great and the design of the game was worth the money, it crashed sometimes but it wasn't hard to restart and it saved automatically so I ain't complaining. Very solid and good game. I'm giving it a good review and hope the developer continue to do more games like this, this is def a game I'd give someone a friend who's an OG shooter fan. Well done.

I've had my eye on this game for quite a while now and am glad I can finally leave a review after finishing it. Its a fun boomer shooter game with sexy anime girls and gore in it. I'm well aware of the sequel and can't wait to start it. While there were some issues such as game crashes, it didn't really ruin the experience for me. I love how fast pace it was and definitely loved the atmosphere and the world doekuramori created. Its well worth a try if you dont mind the ero guro aesthetic. I definitely recommend it as I had fun all the way to the end.

Very solid game from start to finish a wide variety of scenarios that pairs well with the wide range of guns that they have in their campaign, you'll play as a cute anime gal with thick thighs and guns it's definetly great for any Doom and Ecchi/Hentai fan for sure the gunplay is flawless and the shotgun on most open range stages can handle enemies from close to mid range overall I enjoyed my playthrough of The Citadel alot and already purchased the next game as well a very well made game.

A gorefest boomer shooter where you REALLY feel the impact of your weapons. Much like many boomer shooters, you have a large arsenal of weapons where each weapon has their use. It's fun learning how to use each weapon. That's really all the game has going for it, it's fun to play through once or twice.

If you like brutal doom, you'll like the citadel. It's a bit rough around the edges but the combat is good and the hints of story kind of sucked me in (and no, it's not that lewd). Def worth checking out at under ten bucks.

First of, first act of the game just plain sucks. Levels are incredibly basic, pacing is slow and SIlent Hill-like soundtrack, while enjoyable, just doesn't work for high speed shooters. But the rest of the game is quite fun, guns feel good for the most part, and game throws so many enemies at you, that it's hard not to enjoy the carnage on screen. Aside from shooting part there's not much to do here, though. Levels are decent, enemy variety is a bit lacking, story is just non-existent.

It took me a bit to get into it, but when I did, when I got into that flow state? I had the time of my life. The game has a small variety of enemies, the bosses aren't overly challenging or interesting, but the game doesn't set up any expectations otherwise. It is as it says, and 100% a love letter to the classic shooter games such as Doom and Wolfenstein. I enjoyed every minute of it and it did not wear out its welcome. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys this type of gameplay. It's simple, but done very well.

Its pretty good but a love letter? idk bout that. I've played other modern classic fps (boomer shooters) games that dont feel the need to mention it being a love letter that are better love letters. The aesthetic is an acquired taste, its mostly basic textures without much in the way of design. I also think this game rest to greatly on the anime girl gimmick. I like it but its not one of the best modern retro throwbacks.

Beautiful in so many ways. The only problem in this game is the fact that every single building is using the same texture

Simple and good game, rather challenging at times but really fun mechanically. It has a lot of charm and the lore is interesting. I may not be, but if you're into guro... this is probably one of the best games you could ever play as well.

Lol I didn't expect every character to be female. They even have suicide bomber women in burkas who's cleavage gets exposed after you blow the heads off. Tbh I was hoping for a slightly more serious tone.. but the gameplay is not bad.

Cool game, very gory. Prone to small bugs and crashing. Sadly I'm not well versed in boomer shooters to make an informed opinion on most else.

Really fun game, gives me doom+R6 vibes and having the non magazine fed weapons need the ammo individually reloaded is a pretty cool mechanic. Honestly the general 'vibe' of the game is just really fun.

This game is surprisingly fun to play, and one of its most intriguing aspects is how hard it is to pin down a single design style. It mixes together an apocalyptic world setting, the emotional tone of *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, the general gameplay feel of *Doom*, enemy designs reminiscent of the *Marathon* series, environmental aesthetics inspired by *Relics*, bullet-hell shooting mechanics straight out of the *Touhou* series, tactical shooter-style weapon animations, and — seemingly at odds with all of the above — a cast of anime-style magical girls. Despite being such a wild mix of influences, somehow everything blends together remarkably well — even when you clearly recognize where each piece comes from. You, the martyr, enter the dim and desolate final stronghold of humanity’s survival in this post-apocalyptic realm, following divine orders to slaughter your own kind as you fight to stay alive and explore a cold, lifeless world covered in metal panels and mechanical piping. The weapon system is particularly interesting — diverse and full of unique options, each featuring a secondary fire mode that gives players flexibility in different situations. This ensures you're never left helpless (except maybe with the submachine gun, which feels underwhelming in both damage and function — useful only as a placeholder when you run out of ammo in your better-performing automatic weapons). The wide arsenal, combined with tactical movement and interactions, allows you enjoy detailed weapon handling while still feeling powerful and prepared for any enemy encounter, creating a truly distinct gameplay experience. Honestly, I was almost ready to say this oddball shooter had no flaws — but there's one major issue: due to what seems like limited programming skills on the developer’s part, the game crashes or closes unexpectedly far too often.

Whoo! Just finished The Citadel. ...Let me just catch my breath. That was a difficult one, no joke. I like that you can customize the difficulty because it lets you tailor your holy pain to just the right frequency! I played on Zealot, the game's basic Hard, and The Citadel doesn't pull punches; you have to play tight, shoot immediately and watch all your angles. This game was clearly designed with fire angles constantly in mind. It felt technical and tactical, while always still satisfying that "Doom" action itch. Very good! Zealot maintains a zen-like challenge that always feels rewarding, even when it's killing me over and over. The game becomes like a project that you tackle one level at a time. My only exception to that was the boss directly in the middle of the game (number 4), which I found essentially impossible because it fed me enough bullets to kill me in about one second regardless of what I did. I eventually swallowed my pride and lowered the difficulty on three of the custom sliders - again, very handy - to Devotion (the Medium here). Boss 4 was still hard enough to eat through a couple of my lives but it ultimately got done. After that, raised the sliders again and never encountered anything that bad. Kind of weird. The Citadel's got some bugs to be sure. Sometimes it'll crash repeatedly, other times it's fine. Despite a little bugginess though, The Citadel is still an incredible game. I will most definitely play the sequel!

Will not recommend it for now, the game still needs some work, elevator platforms sometimes have you going right through them, the other thing is, reloading, it is kind of sketchy, some times I press a button and I reload, even if I am not pressing to reload, then there is the action confirmations, sometimes have you shooting, or wasting ammo, this game is has a lot of great potential, but my advice to the dev team, is please take your time, I saw that there is a sequel, please just concentrate on improving one before releasing the sequel, I really love this game, it feels good, it plays good, I love it, but it needs work, and I am not going to get the sequel until I finish this one and can actually recommend it to people.
