Crescent Moon Games and Trimatra Interactive have announced Undaunted: The First Heresy; a new first-person shooter that is heavily inspired by Heretic and Hexen. The game will mix old fast-paced combat with the rogue-lite elements of progression and procedural dungeons.
According to its description, the game acts as an introductory prologue to the Undaunted Universe.
“Undaunted: The First Heresy takes place in an ancient mythical Greek world of Gods and Monsters. You are Theseus, the hero who slew the Minotaur on Earth. Resurrected in the afterlife, now you must face the nightmare all over again. King Minos, who has made himself renowned in the afterlife as the Judge of the Dead, has trapped you inside his Labyrinth deep within Tartarus as an act of revenge for killing his son, the Minotaur.”
Here are also the key features of Undaunted: The First Heresy.
- Classic First Person Shooter mechanics without complicated feats, just run, gun, and survive.
- Smart procedural generation to give you a unique – but well-tuned – experience each time you delve into the dungeon.
- Every time you die, you’ll get resurrected back in the hub, losing all your weapons and some of your gold to Charon, the Ferryman of Souls.
- Seven diverse forbidden weapons to wield from the Underworld realms, both melee and ranged.
- Unlock the hidden power behind the Way of the Fire.
- A hub-based system where you can unlock perks, upgrades, and skills as you try your hardest to escape the labyrinth.
- The Minion of Minos will mercilessly hunt you down from both ground and air.
I’m not personally a fan of roguelike, but I’m sure some of you will find it interesting. The game will release on September 15th, and below you can find some screenshots from it.
Enjoy!

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