About the Game

MEAT SCI-FI RETRO SHOOTER

SLIPGATE - an old-school retro shooter that combines bloody exciting battles and key-seeking puzzles. You will go through mysterious laboratories, outposts of a ruined world, and ancient temples, fighting monsters and captured giants.

SLIPGATE WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO 2005

  • An authentic 15-year-old game engine - FPS Creator with enhanced graphics and powerful gameplay.

  • A modern embodiment of everything players loved in Half-Life, Duke Nukem, Quake, Doom, and SiN.

  • Genuine old-school retro aesthetics and classic gameplay.

  • The charisma and humor of the main character - retired marine Jack "Hammer" Thompson.

  • A wide arsenal of weapons: from a classic crowbar and shotgun to a dematerializer and shrinker.

  • Bloody battles where each enemy requires a unique approach and its own tactics.

  • Epic and challenging boss fights. Runes for enhancement, allowing you to destroy enemies even more creatively.

  • A classic retro-shooter storyline set in a sci-fi world.

RETRO GAME = RETRO TECHNOLOGY: PHYSICS, DESTRUCTIBILITY, GIBS, EAX

In Slipgate, you'll have the chance to enjoy physics and partial destructibility thanks to integrated PhysX. Enemies taking critical damage explode into chunks of meaty giblets, and the 3D sound effects technology EAX immerses you fully into the atmosphere of the 2000s.

                                          Destructibility, gibbing, and a bit of physics.

SCIENCE-FICTION SHOOTER PLOT

As a result of a failed portal experiment, the cyclopean installation "D-SPEAR" is broken, and humanity once again finds itself on the brink of extinction. The Gates of Hell are open again, and demons are rushing into our world. Only one person stands between Hell and Earth, and that person is you. Somewhere on the other side of the hellish portal, your wife awaits salvation.

You are about to embark on a long, terrifying, and mystery-filled journey. Amid fountains of blood and spent cartridges, knee-deep in gore, brushing shoulders with death at every turn. Feeding off the power of demons, traverse alternate dimensions, unraveling all the secrets of the teleportation complex.

But is Evil truly on the other side of the gates?
