Dreamkiller, the stylized horror FPS published by Aspyr Media and developed by Mindware Studios, is now available exclusively via Steam®, Valve Corporation’s management and delivery platform for the PC. Dreamkiller will ship later this month for the Xbox 360 as well, so console gamers can get in on the action too.

The game (on Windows PC) will feature 50 Steam Achievements, leaderboards and, as to be expected in a FPS, online multiplayer. The official website recently launched as well, to offer more insight into this eerie and nightmarish title.

In Dreamkiller, players assume the role of a psychologist named Alice Drake, a woman with the curious ability to enter a person’s mind and combat the nightmares that haunt that persons dreams. Think Playstation’s Alundra, but with over-the-top weapons, and a hot red-head protagonist.

Dreamkiller features 12 rich and disturbing levels, filled to the brim with mobs of monstrosities and fiends to be blasted in single-player mode. However, the dream-world serves as the backdrop for multiplayer playing as well, with four different modes, (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Conquest and Capture the flag), and eight separate levels, plus the slew of deranged weapons and abilities to use against one another.

Developer Mindware Studios is based in Prague, and has developed titles like Cold War and Painkiller Overdose, (but not the original Painkiller). The game sports an interesting premise, and the game-play looks promising, especially considering the abilities available in addition to firearms, like teleportation and pyrokenesis, which no doubt impact the game-play tremendously. Dreamkiller’s art-style and its horror-oriented environments and enemies really set the atmosphere.
