During its Realms Deep 2021 event, 3D Realms revealed a new retro FPS that is heavily inspired by Blood, CULTIC. Created by Jason Smith, CULTIC looks and feels similar to Monolith’s Blood, and you can download its demo right now.
As Smith stated, CULTIC was styled to feel like a throwback to the shooters of yore, but with the advantages of a modern engine, such as physics, lighting, and a fully 3D game world. The gameplay, audio design, and art are all stylized to create a unique experience.
CULTIC also aims to give you the freedom to approach combat your way. You can run in guns blazing, running, jumping, sliding, and dodging to keep out of harms way. If you prefer a slower approach, you can lay traps, let your enemies come to you, and pick them off from the safety of cover.
You can download its demo from here.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Nice! Just wish the color palette included RED, so the blood was more … visible! haha
Judging from this trailer, while the game looks cool…BLOOD is in a league of its own! A masterful piece of old-school FPS!
i watched a gameplay of it, level design is great, combat is great, atmosphere is great but the lighting effects that make everything fuzzy and blend together is awful, sometimes you cant see in front of you due to those effects. Also sound is super compressed.
Easily fixed based on feedback imo.
Nice!
Ahhh, Blood… <3
The blood textures are annoying (too big and look out of place),
but besides that, it looks great!
3D Realms is BACK, baby! ??
Check all of their incoming FPS, it’s really huge. (developer or publisher)
I think they finally understood what people want.
I am not really fond of the limited color pallete. More limited than the original Blood.
looking real nice 🙂
Would love a new redneck rampage tho 😉
WOW!!!
It would be a great game!
Tried the demo, but the game is broken on widescreen monitors.
