In Early Access on Steam, will come out in full in Q3 2018 on Steam and GOG. Genuinely uses the same Build engine (albeit apparently powered by eDuke32) that was used in Duke Nukem 3D, the original Blood, and Shadow Warrior.

Even the FPS encyclopaedia Gggmanlives seems to love it:

Old school, classic style. Question is, how long is the game.

[ApornasPlanet 6]

The preview campaign is about 2hrs. If you intend to find all secrets probably 3hrs.

I've played it to the end and really enjoyed myself. If you like duke3d and blood this will be right up your alley. I can only imagine how great the full length campaign will be

The current preview campaign contains two levels, four weapons, four enemies (including a boss). Maybe the enemies are a bit on the generic side but it's still good quality stuff

Might have to pick this one up. Looks like classic 90s action.

Looks like a DN3D reskin, I don't get it.

'cept it has competent level design and will tie in to Bombshell story-wise. 3D Realms can't make Duke games as Gearbox bought out even the back catalogue 3 years ago, but given the character of Bombshell (who was supposed to appear in the 1998/9 version of DNF) wasn't part of the purchase deal, this is what they're left with.
