Strife description
A bit belated, but, nevertheless, quite an interesting representative of the genre. Interesting this game is mainly what the story it is far not on last place.
Title Screen Intro - The sinister acolytes of the Order
The original plot is very simple - you must overthrow the evil tyrant, with the support of the underground organization. But after he is overthrown, events begin to take quite an unexpected turn.
The game starts here. A comically large health kit is in front of you. You hit the air with your starting weapon. A standard low-level enemy walks away politely This guy is a quest-giver. He explains to you what he wants. He gives you a crossbow if you talk to him. The writing is actually pretty good The perfect day for a leisurely swim past the Order's main warehouse
Weapons and ammunition in the game you can buy. After completing various tasks you will be able to slightly improve his body, increasing his stamina and shooting accuracy. The game has a small nonlinearity and a great atmosphere, it can be attributed to cyberpunk, but a special one: only in this game so successfully intertwines the Gothic of the middle ages and the post-industrial era of cyberpunk, which we promise fiction - enchanting a world that wants to believe. Not a popular hit, but definitely undeservedly forgotten masterpiece.
You can get patched up at the surgery Some kind of industrial machinery going up and down
The game is divided not into levels and zones. Some of them you have to visit several times. This method of moving between levels will later be used in Half-Life. Graphics based on the DooM engine, though, and looked a bit old for 1996, but still a good job with the transfer of the atmosphere.
Exploring the town. Looking out across the river You can talk to unnamed characters who just wander around the town. They don't say much
