Includes Extreme Rise of the Triad add-on pack that features 42 additional levels to play!
You are part of an elite group of operatives called HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce), and you must stop a maniac cult leader from killing millions of people. While scouting a remote island, you are suddenly surrounded by enemy troops with guns blaring. In the distance you see your boat - your only chance to escape - blown to matchsticks. In front of you is a huge fortress monastery, and your only chance to stop the madness.
You are equipped with awesome, high-tech weaponry like heat-seeking missiles, split missiles and the Flamewall cannon, which leaves a trail of charred skeletons in its wake. It's your assignment to annihilate and destroy - to ensure peace on Earth.
Experience the zany and overly brutal classic FPS action only a game from the 1990 can deliver!

This is actually a very bad port unless you can do some finagling, probably. I had to mess around with the controls. Should've picked the Ultimate Edition.
Wow, it has been a while since I've played this game. Pretty good game for its time. The only thing I can remember is having a hard time jumping from one hovering platform to another. If you enjoy the original Wolfenstein 3D then you will enjoy ROTT.
Ok yes it was fun, and that is the point of the game. It was however, awful. Everything felt staged, and almost as if it was making fun of the genre. Come to think of it, was this game supposed to be a spoof, and I missed the memo?
The reason why I don't recommend the original, aka. The HUNT Begins & Dark War? Because this game is not playable in a desirable state if you're a new player.
I mean, DOS box is one thing. A slew of source ports that SUCK is another.
WinrottGL, the popular source port, doesn't work on Windows 10, and the one that does, rottexp, is terrible with some atrocious mouse look.
Now, 3D Realms themselves are aware, and as such, have been working on a remaster to provide a definitive modern way to play The HUNT Begins/Dark War. However, we haven't recieved an update on development, and I don't know when it will be released.
For new players, I'd say to stick with Rise of the Triad (2013), a remake of HUNT Begins/Dark War with new level design and more risque dialogue, and then, once the HUNT Begins/Dark War remaster finally releases, go for that version. Shame too, because HUNT Begins/Dark War is an influential title in the FPS space for introducing the ability to look up and down and features fun gameplay. It's just not the right time to play it.
