We last heard about POST VOID — the grotesque, psychedelic FPS with more than a little DOOM inspiration sprinkled in — back in August of last year when the game was set for a September 2022 release. That, obviously, did not happen, but publisher Super Rare Originals has now announced that we will finally be able to dive into the void on 16th March. That's only two weeks away!
Much like the classic FPS games that inspired it, POST VOID is all about making your way through a series of procedurally-generated levels as quickly as you can, shooting anything that stands in your way. One look at the gameplay in the above trailer and you will see that this title from developers YCJY is wild. Expect gory kills, crazy colours and a hefty dose of shredding rock thrown in for good measure.
If the trailer wasn't quite detailed enough for your liking, then check out the following game details from Super Rare Originals:
[ADRENALINE PUMPING ACTION]
A hypnotic scramble of early first-person shooter design that values speed above all else. Keep your head full and reach the end; Kill what you can to see it mend; Get the high score or try again.[NO LIVES, NO RETRIES, NO REPEATS]
Rack up your kill count to maintain the health in your idol and whatever you do, do not stop. Slowing down is game over. Find the oasis at the end of each level, pick your random upgrade, and dive back into the chaos. Every run of POST VOID is different thanks to the procedurally generated levels, so truly the only option is to... get good.
[PICK UP AND PLAY]
Whether you have time for one quick run or have hours to spare, POST VOID's easy to pick up but difficult to master style makes it enjoyable for all types of players. It's a true arcade-style first-person shooter![HIGHLY STYLISED]
A unique, deeply atmospheric and blinding haze of retro-styled violence, POST VOID is intentionally intense, violent, and chaotic, both in its gameplay and its visual style. The developers poured their bizarre sense of style and passion into every second of the game.[TWEAKED TO PERFECTION]
Following its overwhelming success on Steam, the PlayStation and Switch ports of POST VOID have been honed to perfection to make sure its fast-paced gameplay works as brilliantly on a controller as it does with a keyboard and mouse.
POST VOID is currently listed on the Switch eShop for £4.99. Although the off-the-wall over the top-ness might not be to everyone's tastes, a price like that is difficult to scoff at for some throwback FPS fun.

Now this looks ugly!
Ouch, my eyes, saw this a while ago and thought damn migraine in a game
Epilepsy warning: the game.😅 Contrary to some fanjabs, nothing ugly about it, but I suspect I'd personally find such visuals disorienting to play well in, especially as the FPS permanoob I am in general. Still might give the game a shot someday, though (no pun intended).
This is terrible. I don’t have epilepsy and that didn’t feel good. Not quite pre-patch Balan Wonderworld levels, but definitely not good for plenty of people I’m sure.
Welp there goes the breakfast I just ate.
Looks like Boomerang X mashed up with Hotline Miami.
Hell yes. I've been waiting for this since it was first announced for Switch way back when. I am 100% the target audience for this
Looks awful and doubt the game will have much substance, like the ad though.
Like Bartleby, I would prefer not to. I concur that the ad's kind of cool, though.
This looks right up my alley in multiple ways. But not in the way of procedurally generated levels. I've had quite enough of those. If there's more progression to it than that though, I might still be game.
@Pod that's my only hang up as well. Never excited for procedural generation, but it can be done well
I’m pumped for this one! And such a low price. I thought it released ages ago but couldn’t find it on the eshop… so this clears that up. Thanks
Hoping for a physical release!
@himynameishank
indeed.
in fact, three of the very best FPS games of the procedural generation are on the switch already and they seriously kick ass.
Ziggurat 1+2 and the almighty Immortal Redneck; one of my fav FPS in the last ten years.
@Austrian Hell yes. I love those games. I wish we'd get Roboquest on Switch. I wish switch had more weird FPS games overall
Looks like precisely my kinda dumb.
@Austrian preach.
@himynameishank
well, king of the weird "Nightmare Reaper" is coming to the switch soon (even physically!) and I can't wait.
This one is so over the top and bonkers.... and ridiculously difficult at times
