Not as good as I remembered

Not as good as I remembered, it gets boring fast, though I bought it for the nostalgia. This game is all about shooting stuff and destroying generators, fighting the same boring enemies, hearing the same soundtrack over and over every levels you play, level design sucks, always dark, same textures, and mazes that aren't fun to get lost, the alarm they've put is really annoying, after a few times you will turn down the volume, having three characters to choose there's barely any difference. I was thinking to finish this game but I changed my mind, I've beaten the first boss and I couldn't play anymore. That's why it wasn't well known and I understand now.

Solid gameplay but totally unremarkable.

Only get this if you're really bored and want to play every underdog FPS there is. The Good: Game engine is good, reminds me alot of Build. Gameplay is quite stable and you can remap every key basically. I liked the first map as Dan Blaze, human base with barracks and hangar. The Bad: Level design is just flat out dull. Nothing memorable, just alot of corridors, grey textures and often quite dark. Its just a single sci-fi techbase theme, hardly any variation. The 320x200 resolution doesnt help. Weapons that act the same as other FPS except visually they are completely unappealing. The OST consists of the Menu theme and 1 ambient track, only. Just 1 track plays throughout the WHOLE game. Took me 7 hours to beat this and i was glad it was that short. Final verdict: With no nostalgia related to this title and speaking objectively. If you expect quality 90s FPS like Duke Nukem/Hexen, forget it. This is not a "90s classic". Its 90s dull trash im afraid.

Original CD vs. GoG's version

I bought the original game when it first came out, and it came with a level editor. GoG's doesn't mention this added functionality, which is a huge part of what made this game replayable. Not only are there multiple characters with different abilities/weapons, but you can make your own levels with a world editor. I won't buy this from GoG until it includes everything the game was meant to have.

Horrible Controls

The game works fine, BUT there is some serious mouse issues. Aiming on a horizontal OR vertical axis works fine, but as soon as you try to aim diagonally, it just freaks out. I just cant aim, where I want to aim. Maybe it works better if you play it like old DOOM games, without aiming and just shooting at the screen (the game aiming for you at enemies on the screen), but this is not something I personally enjoy. A bit sad, because it looks like a fun game.

CD review (not GOG's version)

This is pretty much a basic mid 90 FPS (duke nukem 3D, blood, shadow warrior) It has no humor though and every character only has about one line of dialog right in the beginning of their campaign (each has a unique first level) This game has a few absurd bosses, it was like the max level sentry gun from team fortress 2 was able to run, which was pretty exciting. there is a bonus character that you get once you beat the game, there are secrets rooms, bonus levels, special items inventory (as was common in shooters of the time) but there was one difference I remember, this game has no constant running around aimlessly looking for keys (which is a good thing in my opinion) . So if you want a mid 90's shooter and you hate looking for keys this game may be for you.
