BLIGHTEN is a recent discovery and an instant add to wishlist, as the dark style of this boomer shooter looks great. The developer mentioned it's made in a classic DOOM style with 2D enemy and weapon sprites to complete the retro look.

I just love how actually dark it is. A lot of modern boomer shooters have quite bright and spectacular surroundings, but BLIGHTEN strips things back and puts you into a spooky horror setting. Some real creepy vibes coming off from this one - love it.

More about it from the Steam page: "After becoming trapped in a decaying research facility you must find you must navigate through the Blight ridden hallways of the facility, explore every room for resources and weapons in an extensive and highly explorable map."

Game Highlights:

Brutal Combat and Resource Management

Arm yourself with an extensive arsenal of various firearms from shotguns to assault rifles, a weapon perfect for every situation. Take part in dynamic and addictive gun play as you take down various mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. Finds parts and ammo and make every shot count.

Classic retro graphics with a modern twist

Hand drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world creates a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still being fateful to classic retro graphics.

Deep and Dark Narrative

An unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the decaying facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you've lost — and the things your fighting for.
