Crusader: No Remorse™

I absolutely love this game. The graphics are good, like most sprite games they age very well. The gore in this game is not as over the top as in games like Blood, Duke or ROTT, but it's there. Enough to be satisfying ;) The gameplay is straight forward and the fact that I love the game despite its absolutely retarded controls just tells you how great it is. Any other game this clumsy would go right in my virtual trash bin. But Crusader makes up for its shortcomings with awesome action, cool weapons and gadgets. The amount of ways to off enemies is staggering!

Seems fun and I like the music and style. The graphics are still good and the cheesy movies are great. However....the gameplay isn't worth bothering with. These are some clunky controls. Overly complex, obtuse, and just downright bad. It makes a Resident Evil 1 character look like a graceful ballerina or springy kungfu master. Terrible! I tried so hard to like this game. I changed DOSBOX, I set up an xpadder profile, I tried everything. Sadly I just can't be bothered because better games await! Though I'd love a remake in a better engine. And yes. This review is exactly the same for both games in the series.

All games available in 2011 could not stop me to crusade with no remorse in a long playthrough. Pros: -15 Big levels. -Countless Videos to progress the storyline -vile super villains -nice story twist -huge array of weapons available to satisfy all my destructible desires. -4 well balanced levels of difiiculty (try to beat it on the highest difficulty and despair) -many scifi eastereggs to uncover Contra: Your reallife will suffer. grafics are old school, but no problem for me my eye sight isnt good enough for HD anyway ;). Crusader No Remorse is one of the best scifi action rpgs i played. Its well worth its price tag of 5 credits.

Was surprised to see both Crusader No Remorse and No Regret offered with capability to run in the Windows 7 & 8 environment. Sadly, a lot of the older games are not compatible with the newer operating systems. Glad that these are. I have played both of these games in the past, and they are true real gems. AWESOME!!!

CRUSADER is like a Paul Verhoeven game: it's got Robocop's ultra-violence robot mayhem, Total Recall's futurism, and Starship Trooper's zaniness. This game is like Prince of Persia if it was a space opera with guns, in 3D. CRUSADER plays like a PSX Resident Evil if it was less of a WWII thank and more of a Star Fox Landmaster. It's a shooter for the thinking man. CRUSADER has near-stereoscopic animations in marvelously crafted pre-rendered 3D sprites. 20 years later, it still looks snappy, shinny, and ridiculously detailed. Everything about Crusader screams quality. The level of polish and attention to detail on all fronts is remarkable: the gameplay is rock-solid and glitch-free. The physics are tight, the animations are smooth, and the graphics are hyper-realistic. Level design is flawless; FX are impressive by today's standards. The gore is unmatched; it's less crass than Postal or Mortal Kombat, and more over-the-top like a Robocop. People complain about cut-scenes. I disagree. The dialogues were fun in a “Verhoevean” kind of way; probably not as smart or sardonic, but campy cool. There's a character: Colonel Stephon Ely, compare his lines and delivery to that of Sergeant Johnson in all the HALO games and you'd see just how good Crusader's script was 20 years ago. About the controller, I agree that it's complex. This is the type of game that requires you to study a manual. Sure, manuals aren't necessary nowadays, but neither were they back when Super Mario Brothers debuted. Crusader is a smart shooter for the thinking man (or woman) that requires a certain amount of planning and strategized approach to combat. When it comes to all-out shooting action and explosions, there's plenty of that too. You’ll just die more often if you go about mindlessly. I prefer a pad over a keyboard and Crusader rocks with a PSX or X360 controller. I laid-out a mapping schematic that has worked great for me, in case you’re wondering check it out here: http://bit.ly/1w330YQ
