GRAVELORD Set to Invade Early Access Along with Release Date Reveal

Indie developer Fatbot Games is thrilled to announce the early access release date for GRAVELORD, the retro-inspired boomer shooter that brings fast-paced action, hand-crafted levels, and a touch of dark fantasy humor to PC gamers worldwide.

 

 

GRAVELORD draws inspiration from classic FPS titles like Doom and Quake, blending nostalgic gameplay mechanics with modern enhancements. Players step into the boots of a gravedigger named Queedo, a sharp-tongued antihero armed with an arsenal of weapons, Tarot card power-ups, and a magic shovel to kick the mortally challenged back into their cozy resting places under the soil.

“We’ve poured our sweat and tears into creating a game that captures the spirit of old-school shooters while delivering a couple of fresh twists,” said Tibor Repta, the team lead at Fatbot Games. “With Gravelord, we want to challenge and delight fans of the genre, and early access will help us fine-tune the experience with community feedback.”

The early access version of GRAVELORD will feature the full first episode and a bonus level. The EA version will also get a proprietary-level editor in the months after the initial release.
