About The Citadel
The Citadel is a hardcore, old-school action shooter in which you fight through six episodes to kill the sleeping god. You play as a Martyr, one of the Battlesisters, and descend into the depths of the Citadel.
Episodes and enemies
The game has 30 levels across six episodes, plus six secret levels and six bosses. Enemies include axe-throwing cultists, suicide drones, mecha tanks and flamethrower troopers.
Combat and weapons
You carry 14 types of weapons, with secondary fire functions, as well as three types of single-use special weapons. Some weapons can be upgraded or switched for superior versions. Combat relies on dodging projectile attacks rather than hitscan fire, and light-weight enemies can be kicked and stunned; with the right positioning, you can send them into a bottomless pit or lava. Enemies explode into chunks of meat or metal when they die.
Difficulty options
You have unlimited continues, and hub areas offer respite if an episode proves too difficult. Optional settings let you enable leaning to avoid enemy fire and weapon condition, which can cause automatic weapons to jam during battle and eventually break.
