Crusader: No Remorse™

I cannot believe how high rating this game has on GOG. Come on people, this game is totally unplayable. I spent a few hours trying to progress through the first mission and I managed to advance through a several corridors, but what a horrible pain that was... Controls are TERRIBLE, just terrible. Things stumble in the way of main character and block his movement, other times he somehow "teleports" around them. Turning the guy left or right takes ages. Aiming is even worse - totally random, sometimes he shoots with great precision, sometimes he misses all his shots and you'd think there is no line of sight, but enemies can shoot him really well where he is standing. Camera is fixed, half of the time you don't see what is around the corner. other times you cannot see where your guy is. I really like old games and I play them all of the time, but this one, my god, is among the worse I have ever seen. Save yourself pain and frustration, it is not worth it for a laughable plot, setting and characters.

yes,this is the first crusader.The graphic is nice,the maps are very big and the audio is perfect. 8/10

I don't know what the difference between others' setup (who are saying the game is great) and my own setup is, but I can't even play the first room because the controls are beyond ghastly. I'm playing on a laptop with a Razer mouse, and I've tinkered with the limited mouse sensitivity option, but to no avail, and there's no possible way to try using the touchpad, since you cannot alter the input controls.Trying to control the Silencer is like trying to explain to a deaf, mute, and blind person what senses are. I can't aim, can't move, and succeed only in spinning in dizzying circles. It is more difficult than birthing a dinosaur. I really want to play the game, but it is impossible. I guess I can't complain too loudly, since I only wasted 3 dollars on it, but it's irritating because it seems like a cool game and I don't get to experience it. I've read a couple of reviews that say it's more playable with some sort of joystick/gamepad input controller, but I don't have anything like that. Anyway, just wanted to warn those who're thinking about purchasing it, that you might get shafted due to controls.

If the controls don't get you, the conveyor belt bug on the 3rd mission will. You see, the game has a bug that can trigger in the 3rd mission due to the player stepping on conveyor belts during that mission. You will not know until the end of the mission FMVs play and the game then black screens. You must step on at least one conveyor to complete the mission. I endured the controls, which were awful even for the time. I endured the chunky movement, awkward jumping, dodging and shooting in a grid based rpg engine. I grew up on that weird 80s and 90s stuff. There's a good game hidden beneath all of that if you can get to it, but a gamebreaking bug like this requiring such a bizarre solution as "replaying the level avoiding all conveyors and hoping the last one doesn't trigger the bug" was one straw too many for me. I couldn't even bring myself to give 2 stars because, for my experience it is genuinely broken despite being fun at it's core.

Loved this game since I picked it up in a blockbuster at some classic game bin for like 9$ in like 1999 or something. STILL A HIT!
