Trailer: Retro FPS Dread Templar gets its last Early Access update

Content Update #8 has arrived for Fulqrum Publishing and T19 Games’ Dread Templar, bringing a new mode (and more) to the retro shooter.

Woo that’s a lotta blood

Guardian Mode is a wave-based, endless game mode, in which the player protects a blue crystal in the center of an arena for as long as they can. Simple rules – if the mystical crystal is destroyed or the player dies, the game ends. Killing enemies and surviving additional waves provides players with currency they can use to purchase power-ups, supplies and restore health to themselves or the crystal. 

Fulqrum Games press release

The full retail release for Dread Templar is set for some time later this year, though it’s basically final with this new arrival. Update #8 is the last one for the Early Access version, with likely just fixes and minor updates to come, before the game goes gold.

Dread Templar is out now for the PC, via Steam, GOG, and Epic.
