In Impaler players summon spikes to slay demons, build barriers, and reach the higher ground on top of using the arsenal of FPS staples. The game was designed for quick, fun sessions and is well suited to playing on the go thanks to its Steam Deck optimization. Each playthrough is a unique challenge that lets players beat their high scores, and unlock new weapons, skills, and upgrades.
The solo developer Apptivus has custom-built the game’s engine using the original C language. This was his personal challenge of self-development as a programmer. It also gave him full control over the game’s looks, feels, and performance. Developing Impaler was his passion project for the last 212 weekends. Four years later, players can finally enjoy it.
Impaler launches with the additional enemy and weapon skins from classic boomer shooter Project Warlock as well as several Steam bundles to accompany its 10% launch discount.
Impaler is now available on Steam for the affordable $2.99.
