Gravelord, a Quake-Meets-Duke-Nukem Boomer Shooter, Announced for PC

Developer Fatbot Games has announced a new Quake-era-themed boomer shooter called Gravelord, mixing in tarot cards that are played during the fast-first-person-shooter gameplay in order to add a layer of customizability and unpredictability to the action. Stupid-but-strong Queedo the Gravedigger quips about the violence he dispenses with his shovel (and a full menagerie of other weapons) as he goes, a la Duke Nukem.Gravelord is in development for PC and does not yet have a release date. Check out the first trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.Gravelord promises fast-paced combat, hand-crafted retro levels (read: there are secrets to find!), weapon upgrades, a story told through hidden comic book pages, a level editor, and more. Wishlist it on Steam if you’re interested.Ryan McCaffrey is IGN’s executive editor of previews and host of both IGN’s weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He’s a North Jersey guy, so it’s “Taylor ham,” not “pork roll.” Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
