I'm a fan of oldschool shooters in general but this game is an example of how to screw up almost every aspect of game design. Most of the weapons have something wrong about them that makes them annoying to use. The dual uzis' reload time is ridiculous, the shotgun also reloads after every FOUR shots, the grenade launcher has unreasonably wide splash radius, the railgun doesn't actually shoot where the crosshair is and has a delay between the button press and the shot... Etc. The worst thing about this game are the enemies. In my opinion, the ninja hitscanners are even worse than Blood's cultists. They have perfect accuracy, they have no wind-up or tell before their attacks whatsoever, and later you get variations that throw stuff which can kill you in one hit that you can barely even see sometimes, also with no wind-up or tell. The cloaked ninja is one of the worst enemies I've ever seen in any videogame. Then you have the bees which are ridiculously annoying, worse than any of the small enemies from other Build engine games. You also get a lot of barely visible mines, sometimes random rocks just fly out of some lava and kill you, etc. Basically, this game is the very definition of unfair and requires constant save-scumming to play on the harder difficulties. The levels are mind-blowingly boring and occasionally have the way forward hidden better than actual secrets, though the latter only happened a few times. Nonetheless, they are bland, cramped, and full of horribly designed combat encounters that you WILL get killed by unless you know what's coming up. Stick to Duke3D, Ion Fury, Doom, Quake, whatever, even Blood is less irritating and actually has atmosphere, but avoid this pile of trash. Even though it's free I feel ripped off. It is the worst FPS I've ever played, and I've beaten Daikatana.
