Rise of the Triad: Dark War
Description
Includes Extreme Rise of the Triad add-on pack that features 42 additional levels to play!
You are part of an elite group of operatives called HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce), and you must stop a maniac cult leader from killing millions of people. While scouting a remote island, you are suddenly surrounded by enemy troops with guns blaring. In the distance you see your boat - your only chance to escape - blown to matchsticks. In front of you is a huge fortress monastery, and your only chance to stop the madness.
You are equipped with awesome, high-tech weaponry like heat-seeking missiles, split missiles and the Flamewall cannon, which leaves a trail of charred skeletons in its wake. It's your assignment to annihilate and destroy - to ensure peace on Earth.
Experience the zany and overly brutal classic FPS action only a game from the 1990 can deliver!

Definitely not for everyone..
This game was already weird at the time of its original launch. At the time of Doom and Doom 2, it took its visuals but the maps followed the original 90° concept in Wolfenstein, plus they added a technologically absolutely confusing verticality in the form of platforms made up of 2D sprites. Unfortunately, the maze design itself is what brings down the gaming experience.What in the form of shareware could be accepted as a better amateur clone of 3D FPS in their early days is now well beyond the edge to which today's gamer is accustomed. Who wants to experience a blind branch of development, this amateur-designed legendary game can be a good fit.

Really shows its age
I've played a lot of older shooters like this and have to say: skip this one. The controls are awful, and you are limited in your options to remap them. That's the single biggest issue. For me, I spent more time fighting the controls than the enemy. The game also is extremely pixelated, probably due to its age. I see as I write this review that there is an updated "Ludicrous Edition" upcoming that should fix these issues. (Upcoming as of January 2022.) I might try that one out, and it might be a lot better, but as for this original: skip it. There are a ton of better old shooters to play.

As much as a 2002 game ?
Such a game should be free to GOG users... How can you expect us to pay as much for this as for a game like Arx Fatalis for example ?
