About Curse of the Catacombs

Curse of the Catacombs, also known as Catacomb Armageddon, is the sequel to The Catacomb Abyss. Curse of the Catacombs is a first-person shooter very similar to the previous game. Once again, you're a mage whose quest is to destroy the evil Nemesis. Just like in the previous installment, you can throw fireballs at your foes or use them to destroy certain walls. You can find bolts and nukes which allow more powerful attacks, healing potions, scrolls and keys. You can also find gems which allow you to see approaching enemies on your radar. Of course, there are completely new levels to explore and many new enemies to fight, such as harmless rabbits which suddenly turn into fearsome beasts, or evil trees which can be set on fire.

Curse of the Catacombs port: quick answers

Do I need to own Curse of the Catacombs?
Yes. CatacombGL needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Curse of the Catacombs port finished?
It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is 0.5.7-beta.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows and Linux.
Is it an emulator?
No. CatacombGL builds on the game's released source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
