Release Date: August 31, 2022
A dynamic and brutal FPS in which we take on the role of an enforcer crossing hell. In Scathe we explore underground maze and face hordes of demons. Game allows to play solo or in cooperative mode over the Internet.
Scathe is a bloody and dynamic FPS that reminds of such series as Painkiller. It was developed by Damage State studio.
Main hero of the game is Scathe - enforcer of infernal legions. To prove his worth (and above all - efficiency), the protagonist must go deep into the infernal depths and get the hidden stones, facing hordes of demons along the way.
In Scathe we observe the action from a first person perspective (FPP). We explore undergrounds, with maze-like structure. Paths often split in several directions, offering different challenges.
While wandering through hell we face a lot of enemies. We eliminate them using mainly firearms. We have a machine gun, a shotgun and more sophisticated tools of murder, such as a crossbow with explosive bolts. Additionally, each weapon has an alternative fire mode. Gameplay is varied by simple arcade sections.
In addition to serial demons and monsters, which, as befits the cannon meat, are here in bulk, from time to time on our way there are powerful guardians. Guarding access to the stones for which Scathe went to hell, the latter play the role of bosses, and defeating them involves, above all, the need to fill their bodies with a myriad of bullets and demonstrate great dexterity and reflexes.
Scathe can be played solo or in cooperative mode for up to four players. Players can the game at any time.
Scathe features high quality graphics. Both the rich colors and variety of locations, as well as the designs of enemies can please. The game is also brutal and the blood is so thick that the protagonist has to wipe the screen with a smooth hand movement.

Game Ratings for Scathe Video Game.
GamingBolt: 6 / 10 by Shunal Doke
Scathe has a lot of clever and interesting ideas. Unfortunately, it's the execution that lets it down. Somewhere underneath the agonizingly-slow progression, pointless plot, and a visual mess as a result of its desire to also be a bullet hell, Scathe is a game with potential that's sadly never reached.
TechRaptor: 4.5 / 10 by Austin Suther
While the gameplay concept of a labyrinthine shooter holds some promise, the gunplay is flat and mowing through enemies is extremely tedious. On top of this, graphics and some technical issues make Scathe feel rather rough around the edges.
Softpedia: 8.5 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile
Scathe is a good first-person shooter for anyone who loves the genre and appreciates a challenge. The story is good enough and the combat feels visceral. Moving through the same rooms can become repetitive but the FPS mechanics are good enough to keep players engaged.
