Our take on Forbidden Ingress
Instead of centering on movement through a sequence of combat spaces, the game places construction at the core of its shooter structure. Defenses, traps, and turrets become part of the encounter, while survival depends on holding a position against creatures arriving through portals.
What is Forbidden Ingress?
Forbidden Ingress is a first-person shooter set after portals to another world begin appearing across Earth.
Demons and other monsters emerge from them, and the objective is to hold the area for as long as possible. Players can establish a defensive base with walls, doors, windows, stakes, traps, and turrets. The game also includes purchasable weapons, with 22 weapon units ranging from knives to blasters, as well as RPGs and lasers. Its structure combines direct shooting with base construction and defensive placement.
