On the other side of the room stands another guard.
Having disabled the security alarm, you burst in through the door, take out the security guard in the corner and immediately crouch down behind a packing crate. The following is a typical 30-second extract of gameplay. Don't worry this sounds unwieldy and confusing, but it isn't - it's bloody good fun. A small crosshair appears, and the movement control changes to allow you to rotate left and right and perfect your aim. Draw your gun and your character immediately stands still. The controls can be bemusing at first but soon become second nature aiming and firing may take a little longer.
Crusader no remorse review full#
The animation is superb throughout -indeed, all the graphics are fantastic, as are the sound effects (Crusader features full speech, too). Aside from being able to do the basics (running, walking, crouching, etc), he can also jump around, roll into firing position Bodie and Doyle-style, or sneak about on tiptoe waving a gun. Your character is extremely nimble, with a plethora of actions to control. Basically, you break into places, search about for clues, blow stuff up, and kill loads of people with a variety of weapons. Crusader leaves you in charge of the aforementioned military bloke and allows, nay, encourages you to set about being sneaky, cunning and violent, all at the same time. Plot, schmot, that's what I say - this game would be top-notch fun even if it revolved around rescuing the members of The Partridge Family one by one. Since I'm sure you couldn't give a fiddler's pluck about the plot, I'm not going to even mention it (which is bloody handy considering I don't know anything about it). You (yes, you) are a kind of hi-tech space mercenary bloke a potent mix of cat-burglar, espionage agent, and amoral gun-wielding thug. In fact, it's obvious from the word go that this is something major. It's got the action adventure steak of the former, the strategic gunplay kidney of the latter, and the isometric perspective pastry of the two. Put simply, it's like a cross between Little Big Adventure and X:Com Terror From The Deep. I can't keep that up - let's get to the point, shall we? We're supposed to be discussing Crusader. We're talkin' svga, perfect animation, bad ass violence, and superlative gameplay. You know, it's like, they go take a dump, man, and then they turn round to wipe an' shit and it's like, woah! There's a library of 100% prime-cut solid gold titles right there in the goddamn toilet pan! And you know what? It's looks like they gone done it again this time.
Crusader no remorse review Pc#
Jesus, these guys have classic pc games practically failin' out of their ass, boy. They brought us Underworld, man, they gave us System Shock, Wing Commander 3, the Ultima series. They ain't clickin' around when it comes to no game, either my man. Okay, you seen what we lookin' at here? We're lookin' at the latest game from Origin, man. You hear what I'm saying? Like, he ain't afraid to be seen. This baby strolls straight into a full-on combat situation dressed head to toe in bright red armour. 'cos he ain't no yellow-bellied camouflage-sportin' dumb ass either.
This here Crusader ain't no chain-mailin' helmet-wearin' hey nonny no motherfunker, this here is some high-tech futuristic lethal weapon kind of guy. don't it? Kind of sets you thinkin' about a bunch of sword-slinging-white-ass-bygone-days dudes, workin' their way through Europe, slayin' people and shit. 'Crusader', huh?sounds like some kind of medieval thang now. Everything that can be rendered is, and it's all in Super vga. Crusader is so realistic that visible damage results can be seen from every round fired, whilst an advanced character-control system allows the player to walk, run, jump, crouch and hide. The game is mission-based and will use live-action video for realistic interaction with fellow rebels, and allows the player to employ advanced fighting tactics with a vast array of weapons to choose from. A number of cities quickly follow suit, forcing the Consortium to mobilise its forces to quosh the rebellion.īefore you start making lame gags about it being a Britain in the '90s sim, you might be interested to hear that you don't actually play the victim, but one of the Enforcers (part of a specially selected military force operated by the Consortium) who decides to defect and join the rebellion. General discontent prevails for many years, until one city eventually attempts to secede. Citizens must pay the majority of their wages in taxes and receive few benefits in return. Set an Orwellian 220 years in the future, an oppressive and self-serving government, known as the Consortium, I controls just about every aspect of a person's life. Due from Origin is a Bioforge/LBA type 3D walkabout adventure, which is currently known as Crusader: No Remorse.
