About the game

Diluvian Ultra is a single-player, first-person shooter focusing on a retro aesthetic and fast-paced, strategic combat. The game is set in its own expansive fictive universe. Rather than gritty or dark, Diluvian Ultra is colorful and fantastical, like the cover of pulp sci-fi novels of the past.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, Nvidia GTX 770 - or equivalent, 6 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

22 discounts in the 3 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 88 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Hedon Bloodrite ($16.99, scores 82) and Ion Fury ($24.99, scores 67) both outscore it.

What players say

Biomancy, fusing flesh, bone, and steel, demons on a righteous path, secrets, arcade platforming, pixel art par excellence, frenetic FPS with a twist on dealing damage - all done right. If this had come out in 1999, it would've made it onto the front page of gaming magazines. You know, back in the day when gaming journalists weren't the corrupted, complacent disgraces they are now, and when every game that came out...
