Perilous Warp is designed for fans of computer action games of the late 1990s and early 2000s. This is a retro first-person shooter. Its graphics, sound, music and gameplay imitate old and iconic representatives of the FPS genre. The indie title provides gamers with several sound and graphic settings, called retro modes here. They are designed to convey authentic sensations. For example, you can turn on pixel blood or lower the quality of sound effects to 8 bits and 11 kilohertz. The shooter is made in a sci-fi setting. Its action takes place in the near future, or more precisely in 2050. By that time, scientists had learned to build hyperspace engines and portals. A ship with colonists was sent from Earth to an exoplanet to establish the extraction of crysterite, a very valuable mineral of artificial origin. But communication with them quickly failed. Then a soldier was sent to the colony through an emergency teleport. You will play for him.

The indie project Dangerous Warp is full of references to other video games. For example, the briefings are made in the spirit of the second Quake. Part of the lore is presented through scattered notes. If you want, you can skip the plot. The weapons include a knife, machine gun, shotgun, grenade launcher, rifle, machine gun, and so on. Some guns can be upgraded. The gameplay here is old-school. Here you need to wander through intricate maps, save only manually (this can be done at any time), look for weapons, ammo, armor and first aid kits, search for key cards for doors, destroy monsters. Health does not regenerate itself. You do not need to reload the barrels. You can turn the flashlight on and off. There is an option to change the control layout and change the color of the interface.
