About the Game

'Shujaa' is the Swahili word for hero.  

You play as an unnamed hero — an upright man, who decides to take down a dictator using dark voodoo to create a supernatural army to suppress the population and isolate the country. 

The gameplay is inspired by old school shooters. Its fast paced and unforgiving.

Features

  • Old school arsenal.

    Scattered across the level and sometimes in secret areas, you'll find weapons like shotguns, a bolt-action rifle, a rocket launcher, and even a minigun. Run out of ammo ? Well, it's machete time !

  • Diverse enemy roster.

    Several enemy types. Some human, others supernatural. Although they use different types of attacks, they all have the same goal — to kill you!

  • Atmospheric levels.

    Interesting levels some loosely inspired by real-life locations with secrets, ambushes, and environmental hazards. Find keys and switches to open doors and progress through the level.
