Ready for more retro-styled carnage? Another GZDoom powered game has launched on Steam with Beyond Sunset now in Early Access. Currently, it does not have a Native Linux build on Steam but the developer confirmed it will come "Soon! Not immediately, but soon!" until then you can likely run it with GZDoom directly. It looks incredibly promising too!
"Cyberpunk first-person shooter with a rich story and RPG elements. You are Lucy, an enhanced street samurai searching for lost memories. Fight in large, open, interactive levels overtaken by yakuza, zombies, robots and bosses!"

This looks seriously good; though I'd love to see some more 'immersive sim' elements showcased to fully earn the 'inspired by Deus Ex' blurb they use in their marketing.

I like that the reviews are talking about how it's more story and rpg heavy than just shooter. Looks interesting for sure. Wishlisted!

Yeah, but DX 1's (which is what's meant here) aesthetics aren't terribly distinctive; when someone shows a screen that looks cyberpunky with the blurb 'inspired by DX', one immediately thinks of 'emergent' gameplay, alternate pathways, etc.

Yeah, it's like me programming and "hello world" in C and saying it was inspired by Linus Torvalds's development of Linux.
Anyway, I really wish the best luck to this gzdoom cyberpunk FPS.
