Story so far: You and your squad of Rangers travelled to Tycho Station in a response of a distress beacon. As you and your guys arrived, you were tasked to guard the ship while they went off to investigate. Later something happens to your squad, forcing you to exit the shuttle and investigate what happened here. Unfortunately your buddies left you only a knife in the process. Make sure to press F1 for help and it's recommended to play the first act for newcomers. HYDRA is a Sci-Fi total conversion that features elements of the build engine, Doom's quick action and Marathon's storytelling through terminals. Features: Three Acts with five levels each. Each act having a different environment. Sprites based on models made by me. Dynamic lights, reflections and other minor effects to make it more alive.

Gave it a try and its got a nice feel. I think I like the aesthetic of Meridian slightly better, but HYDRA was feeling really fun in its own right.
I think the only thing that bothered me was the the choppiness of the enemy movements, other than that it was really getting into the motif going on with it. The sprite art style is definitely an eye grabber, as in sprited 3D models which is an art that doesn't happen super often.
The Shotgun felt excellent.
