The game combines elements from both eras such as fast-paced gameplay, dashing, headshots and bullet time so you can enjoy the old-school shooting in a modern way!

You are a Dread Templar seeking revenge deep in the evil realm. Explore the levels and solve puzzles to find hidden weapons and upgrades. Face hordes of demons and bloodthirsty fiends using your rich arsenal of katana swords, firearms, and infernal weapons that will make YOU the scariest thing in Hell. Gain Dread Powers and customize your skills according to your playstyle, as they will help you in your battle against the dark forces.

Fulqrum Publishing and T19 Games are proud to announce that Dread Templar entered the last stages of development after unleashing its last Content Update before the game’s full release, which is scheduled for later this year.

The update is significant in its own right however, enriching the players’ experience with a completely new and different game mode - the Guardian Mode.

Guardian Mode is a wave-based, endless game mode, in which the player protects a blue crystal in the center of an arena for as long as they can. Simple rules – if the mystical crystal is destroyed or the player dies, the game ends. Killing enemies and surviving additional waves provides players with currency they can use to purchase power-ups, supplies and restore health to themselves or the crystal. 

Dread Templar Early Access is now available on PC via Steam, GOG, and other digital stores for $14.99 USD / €14.99 EUR.
