I gave up years ago because the lame weapons on the first level, then one day I got the NSW version and brute force my way to the next, more fun levels. I tried the game again, because keyboard controllers, and they reworked a lot, now is actually playable and fun all the way. I recomend it since this combines every old fps trope (besides historic wars, wich I don't really care) with cool updates for the weapons and spells, it's cool to try another run with different build.
I bought the game because I liked the Warcraft looks and art, and it was quite good. A little heavy on the exploring and puzzles and I mean, a lot of walking from point to point but after a while I got used to. I don't remember when I purchased it but I remember the anouncement of the second part which I got free of charge. Bloodrite had more focus on what actually happened before things went south and involved a lot of characters. I think it was fun, I'm not an expert/snob about gzdoom games but I like shooting monsters and fantasy elements so I was pleased with how this game turned out. I liked the music, weapons and over all the passion of the creator that shines on it, that's why I purchased the dlc, we need more creators like Zan.
