Chris Roberts did a damn good job with the Crusader games.Īnd yes, I was surprised when they tied all three of those games together. The nameless, silent, super-soldier badass Crusader (surrounded by other badass normals) was basically the father of later guys like the Master Chief and even Gordon Freeman. The enemies were all fun to fight, even the annoying Vetrons and Solartrons that could basically one-shot you. The level design was crisp and cool, from bleak industrial to neo-80s corporate tech to sci-fi, with bathrooms and lounges and secretaties and everything you'd actually imagine there to be. The arsenal of death dealing weapons was just lovely (Oh UV-9, how we all love you! The Master Chief and FEAR Pointman wish they had UV-9s), as were the many death animations. The music was incredible and I still have copies of it today and play it when writing or working. It had such a great atmosphere, just like so many old games.

Make sure to check the news on the TV in the bar after every mission! The propaganda in the news casts is one of the best parts of the game! General Maxis' briefings, the gritty Colonel Eiley, that Petra chick, and of course the adorable and oh so friendly Lieutenant Vargas. Amazing.Īnd while some of the FMV is bad, yes, a lot of it was memorable, too.

When Remorse and Regret came out, I played them to the HILT.

I still remember when I got the No Remorse demo bundled in with an old PC Gamer magazine or something.

You can determine this from reading all their manuals together).Īnd if you're too young to have played this game in 1995- fuck you, you little shit! (Fun fact, Crusader is part of the same universe as both System Shock and Wing Commander - just different points in history. I'm on Mission 3 of the first game, and it's fucking awesome to be back in 1995. The sequel adds even more sick-ass weapons.Īnyway, hail to Crusader. Setting people on fire is especially a pleasure, their screams are just blood-curdling. There's your standard pistol, shotgun, submachine gun, and rocket launcher - and there's the sick weapons that produce all sorts of bizarre, gruesome, fallout-style death animations. Civilians in this game are not to be trusted- They'll put up their hands and act all shocked that you're there - and then push the nearest alarm button and make your life difficult.ĮVERYTHING can be blown up (except the walls and floors) - and with what a badass arsenal of kill. It's amazing that, 14 years on, the moment the first level started up, I could predict how the (awesome) music was going to go, and remembered instinctively to kill everyone - as a rogue Silencer (a badass in Red Stormtrooper Armor) of the evil World Economic Consoritum (WEC), you now work for the Resistance infilitrating WEC installations and BLOWING SHIT UP.Īnd killing everyone. Leaving aside the cheesy FMV acting (oh my god is it bad in the first game especially- 'Weasel', who you buy weapons from, is easily the most camp, bizarre FMV character I've ever seen) this is easily one of the best shooters I've ever played. I finally got these games working on Dos Box (ISO rips) with the help of D-Fend, and they're as much of a joy to play now as the first game was way back in 1995.
