Could be better, could be worse
If you want to play this, GET THE FAN-MADE PATCH! The game has a lot of inspired ideas for its time, mixing old school FPS action with RPG elements such as leveling-up system which enables you to make certain builds, each episode (time-period) has 6 unique weapons with a total of 25 different weapons (including the Daikatana), the weapons are creative although they're not always useful, some backfire often. The music is mostly good and puts you in the right mood for fast-paced shooting action. The problems ... oh boy, the problems are hard to miss, the first episode of the game is hands down the worst, slow pacing, small annoying enemies (robot frogs and mosquitoes) some irritating sound design with those enemies and cramped stages that don't always allow you to make good use of the weapons. When you get your sidekicks, in the original version you had to babysit them and if they die, it's game over, not to mention their path-finding is quite bad, they'll often get stuck and you need them close to progress. Luckily the fan-patch remedies by making them immortal or letting you remove the sidekicks. Some areas have weird puzzles that feel like a chore. Once you get to Episode 2, the game has a much better flow, the areas present fun combat situations and becomes much more enjoyable, nothing amazing but not a horrid disaster-piece of a game as some might lead you to believe. There'll be some annoyances and backtracking but it's an improvement over the 1st chapter. Basically if the development of the game hadn't been so troublesome and had the game released in a better state with some areas receiving some much needed improvements, this could have easily become a classic, if another company were to try to visit this concept and make a spiritual successor, they could strike gold. tl;dr: GET THE 1.3 PATCH! Pros: Good ideas in the arsenal, good music, 2nd chapter onward the game is medium to good. Cons: Annoying sound design, terrible 1st chapter, worse companion AI.
