Good fit- Fans of 1990s-style first-person shooters who want keys, resource scavenging, and secret hunting
- Players seeking dark supernatural combat with graphic environments and grotesque creatures

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a modern shooter structure may bounce off the key hunts, resource scavenging, and classic 1990s design.
- Players who want restrained horror may stop at the graphic violence, grotesque environments, or disturbing creature designs.
- Players looking for multiplayer shooting will not find that focus here.
- Players seeking a climbing, puzzle, or runner game will find the mechanics centered on first-person combat instead.
Our take on REVEREND
The bounce point arrives when exploration becomes part of progression: players who want a direct run from fight to fight may lose momentum while searching for keys, supplies, secret routes, and Easter eggs across the campaign.
What is REVEREND?
REVEREND is a retro first-person shooter about a former reverend fighting supernatural creatures beneath the church he once served.
Its campaign moves through disturbing locations such as crematoriums and flesh-pits, with enemies ranging from eldritch beings to demonic beasts. Combat uses distinctive weapons, including fruit that detonates on impact. Progression involves finding keys, collecting resources, and surviving encounters while moving toward the objective. Exploration includes hidden routes, supplies, and Easter eggs. The game features gruesome environments, boss encounters, graphic violence, unsettling enemy designs, and gameplay modeled on 1990s shooters. An old-school manual is available through the Steam Library Hub.
