10 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is characterized as linear and monotonous, featuring large numbers of enemies in confined spaces reminiscent of old-school FPS games. While some players find it frenetic and fun, many criticize the lack of depth, poor weapon mechanics, and repetitive level design, leading to an overall outdated experience. Despite its flaws, a few players note that with unofficial patches, the game can become more enjoyable.
“Gameplay is frenetic.”
“Gameplay-wise, it's an old-school FPS whose main defining feature is that it crams Serious Sam levels of enemies into Half-Life sized corridors, especially in the first few levels.”
“The game is kinda janky, as the HUD doesn't work in widescreen, all maps look almost the same, the plot is questionable at best and the gameplay is really outdated for its time, but at the same time it works quite well once you patch it with an unofficial patch; the maps are barely confusing at all and seem quite well-paced, and despite its repetitive gameplay, it is decently fun.”
“Gameplay is pretty linear, with some decent-sized but not that big levels for you to explore.”
“Really, there is nothing special about the gameplay; you run through levels killing aliens with a range of guns.”
“Gameplay is also very bad; developers preferred quantity over quality. Mostly, you will have to face a horde of cloned mutated female warriors with terribly made weapons that are often very weak and have absolutely no recoil.”
