Mechanics

In of mechanics, Paranautical Activity is a typical FPS, inspired by such classics as Doom or Quake. In the course of the game we mainly deal with the elimination of subsequent opponents (more than 40 types) and fighting demanding bosses, and the battles are very dynamic, which requires a lot of reflexes and manual skills from the player. The game is varied by the treasure rooms hidden on maps, as well as shops where we can buy first-aid kits, armor and better weapons. The game stands out from the majority of shooters, however, with elements of roguelike, taken from such games as Spelunky. Each level of the game (as well as the distribution of opponents) is generated procedurally, and the hero's death is always final and means that we have to start playing from the beginning.
