WHAT'S INSIDE THIS RELEASE
You're getting two builds: patched (Enhanced) and retail (Original) for those of you who prefer an unaltered experience as a bonus. Both builds are running on DOSBox with a custom configuration tool. The Enhanced build features fixes introduced in EGwhaven, a must-have community project, which addresses an array of bugs and issues with the game (we'd like to thank ETTiNGRiNDER for the contribution to this release). Additionally, the controls are re-mapped to what you'd expect to see as a default in a first-person game nowadays.
You can access the Original Build through Additional Executables section in GOG GALAXY or find it in the game folder.
Literally, if you are here looking for info, I'm 100% sure you already knew the game and 1000% sure that you were looking to play it again.
And what am I supposed to say at that point? Buy it. It's a game that is worse than bad, it's controls are pretty shitty and it's just going forward killing things in a (have to say) more than satisfactory way.
Do you want to be back to those hours hidden playing videogames?
I read a lot of reviews that seemed to have a pretty poor opinion of this game, but honestly i have a lot of fun with it when i decide to play it. its another one of those 90's don't think, just kill everything that moves kind of game. The parts that might be troublesome is finding where to go sometimes but a simple youtube walkthrough always got me where i needed to go and then i was back to swinging and cutting anything and everything. If you like old games like this from that era, and don't have very high standards then give it a try.
An attempt to bring melee combat into the old Doom gameplay. But not a successful one.
Low-durability weapons, erraticly moving enemies, poor depth perception and hit registry plus high enemy damage, highly damaging floors in a 2.5D environment with dreadful depth perception and poor plattforming, low enemy variety, clunky inventory system.
The game is not absolutely dreadful but I'm sure you'll find something more worthwhile to play in your pile of shame with ease, so you can avoid this game with a good conscience. Try the new Arthurian Legends if the concept of the gameplay seems interesting to you.
Buy this game only if you played it as a kid and want to relive old memories. Everyone else better stay clear. Even as a die-hard classic gamer this one is better left in the past.
