Dread Templar a Part of the IndieDB Players Choice - Best FPS Bundle!

Greetings templars.
Not long ago, Dread Templar was voted 7th best Indie of the year 2021 on IndieDB. Since 2 other amazing old-school FPS games made it to the top10 - Hedon Bloodrite taking the #2 spot and Forgive Me Father the #4 spot, we've decided to reward the love you've shown for the retro FPS genre and bring you all three games in one package, at a great price! And don't worry, even if you already own some of the games, you will still get the 15% discount on the one(s) missing from your library!

Content update #4 (part 1) is out now!

Greetings Templars!

The new content update has just been released!

There is somewhat less content in it than we initially planned. When working on all the new levels, enemies and bossfight, we realized we might not make it all on time and release a properly tested update on schedule in December as we originally announced. This is why we've decided to complete the first of the two planned levels, thoroughly test it and polish it and release it as "Part 1" of Content Update 4, rather than risk making you wait for the update as a whole. We are hard at work to get the rest of the promised content very soon.

For now, please enjoy the new level, "Dead Sails", and a short trailer we have prepared:

New content:
1. New E3M1 level "Dead Sails", including:
  • 4 new enemies.
  • 2 new golden emblems and 4+ silver emblems
  • 1 side area
  • 1 super secret
  • 1 new song


How to enter the "Dead Sails" level?
  1. If you have finished Chapter 2, E3M1 will be available from the level select menu.
  2. You can also enter E3M1 normally in the campaign mode from the E2M5's final portal.


2. The Halloween area becomes a super super secret
You can now find your way into the Halloween area through the super secret in E1M1!

3. Some enemy rebalancing and adjustment of the supplies locations.
