Deepward is a brand-new FPS roguelite on Steam that looks like it belongs in the Resident Evil 4 universe, but its fast-paced gameplay will remind many fans of Doom. Developed by indie studio Echofall Games, Deepward is set to launch on Steam in Q1 2027, but fans of Resident Evil 4 and Doom-like games can try it early with a free demo.
As seen in the trailers, one of Deepward's main maps resembles Salazar's Castle from Resident Evil 4, and some enemies have a similar feel. More specifically, Deepward features zombie-like cultists who look a lot like the Zealots in Resident Evil 4 and can also use basic weapons. However, unlike Leon S. Kennedy, who takes a more tactical approach to fighting the infected, Deepward's protagonists prefer to treat their enemies the same way Doom Guy treats demons.
The Resident Evil 4 remake gets a brand-new official release in 2026, with an eye-watering premium price that makes it too expensive for many fans.
Deepward features a roster of six heroes, each with unique abilities, stats, and weapons. For each run, players select three characters to build a squad that best fits their playstyle....
