Crusader: No Remorse™

Hard to play and fun, I remember this from when I was a kid.

played the demo way back when it first came out and bought the full game 30min later. An absolute blast! Would love the series to be brought back.

I still have both games on CD but with modern computers it is a hassle to to get them to run. I am glad GOG got a hold of at least the first one. Now if they can secure the second one.

...known this game has ridiculous controls. Couldn't play with mouse; keyboard is required. Ah, such a shame. Looks like it could be a fun game; graphics are still attractive; interactivity with the environment enjoyable. However. Those controls!

Crusader is a game about one player's struggle against an evil and unforgiving cabal of controls -- oh yeah, also including the occasional enemy combatant to fight. How I managed to finish both this game and the sequel when they first came out is a mystery to me now. Not only are the controls sluggish and imprecise, but the designers' solution to collision is often to teleport the player character several feet to the side. Also hate the cheap tactic of using a jump-scrolling screen rather than smooth scrolling in order to place ambushes that would actually be within range and line of sight in reality. I did my best with super frequent saving, but trying to navigate a room with a rolling treadmill and tiny hoverpad exhausted my patience. Uninstall.
