ABOUT

Having its roots in 1997 and developed in Ukraine, Chasm: The Rift is one of the most thrilling and innovative FPS from this era and the first Eastern European boomer shooter ever made.

THE STORY

Feeling you are no longer alone, you turn, with just enough time to shoot, killing the mutation charging mercilessly toward you. You begin to sense an eerie feeling of fear in the air, but your skin crawls as you realize it's your own...What was that thing?

Again and again you shoot, battling more strange beasts; all grotesque mutations of creatures you once knew. Suddenly the inexplicable becomes clear. Time channels have formed in the Earth's atmosphere, turning once normal life forms into something they were never meant to be. As part of a special commando unit, you must not only ward off and eradicate the beasts, but destroy the time channels to finally rid the Earth of these deadly mutations.

GAMEPLAY

Along with a heart-pounding adventure through the Corridors of Time and the satisfaction of ripping limbs from hideous monsters with the iconic BladeGun, and an innovative weather system, the player will now be able to enjoy this late 90’s FPS classic with the comfort of modern PCs, now with full 4K support, improved sound design, achievements, and localised into twelve languages.

GAME FEATURES

- Blow off monsters' limbs even as they continue to attack with remaining appendages
- Different effects including water, rain, snow, wind, smoke, dust, sparks, explosions and distant fades
- Awesome array of weapons, including unique Blade Gun
- Enhanced graphics with full 4K support
- Improved sound design

BONUS

The original Chasm: The Rift version powered by DOSBox is included as a bonus.

Chasm The Rift - Unique Game, not clone!

Developers in their interviews mentioned that some ideas that they like in other FPS they may take, But! they do not take all of others' ideas!!! A lot of interesting technics (briefings, body destruction, partial environmental destruction, etc) are the Developers' ideas. So I can definitely say that Chasm The Rift unique Game, with unique mechanics for its time! For those who think that Chasm The Rift is the "clone" of other FPS, want to say you are completely wrong!

Good Demo, BUT...

I think the lack of software-style rendering really changes the aesthetic of Chasm with this remaster, so I think that should be taken into consideration. Also, is there no plan to bring back Chasm's multiplayer? It's a blast to play and it'd be a shame to have it lost to time.

Cult Classic I can´t wait to play

Gets rid of all the issues ive had with software rendering, from my 5800X barely able to sustain above 70 fps in 480 in the original. Gives the games back then emulated 3D look actual 3D like many sourceports did with doom and such, so nothing lost there unless you are a software render fanatic still mentally stuck in 1998. The only time I missed software render was with the unfiltered textures in quake which got lost in the 3D HW accelerated mode, but this port keeps it all truthfully as original, even though you gotta adjust brightness and gamma to get the same values as the original. Its darker than the original. Can´t say if I missed some stuff that seems broken vs the original, windows break, enemies feel more satisfying to shoot than the original, feels like true ukrainian quake now but still has unfiltered textures which is awesome. Movement is smooth, vsync off, framerate locks work perfectly, vulkan dx12 and dx11 support so it runs on any 10 year old modern machine, mouse input is perfect and still lower latency than the overhead you had with quake enhanced. Sound works just fine, tried the chasm portable and there I had sound issues where the volume sliders didnt work, so, thats fixed for me. To me, it seems like a nightdive quality port of a cult classic and I can heartily recommend it so far, but lets wait for final release, some fans always uncover something that isn´t right compared to the original. I just hope, since the devs of this port seem unknown on the storepage and i have to google extensively to find out who made it, that they also patch whatever fans uncover. Wishlisted and stoked to play.

GOG demo trips antivirus when run

NOT PRETAINING TO THE GAME ITSELF: On all of my systems running the demo from the Galaxy client trips behavioral protection of my antivirus (Norton 360), with the message that "chasm-demo.exe" contains SONAR-family process hijack. Curiously enough, running the demo downloaded manually via the shortcut does not cause that. Also Steam version works without a problem, so there is something wrong with the files that are getting installed via GOG Galaxy. As for the game itself - it looks "softwarely-enough" for something rendered in hardware via modern APIs, plays like it used to and is light enough to run smoothly on a toaster-class PC like my Atom-based Windows tablet (with keyboard and mouse, of course). Aside from that it's a quite unique "boomer-shooter" with a claustrophobic, dark atmosphere and a moderate skill requirement. Worth checking out for free at least, the full game price seems a bit steep though for something that old.
