Rise of the Triad: Dark War Reviews

TL;DR: I recommend etting it, but I recommend grabbing Ludicrous Edition instead. Rise of the Triad (ROTT) is a fantastic shooter from the mid 90s. It is a spiritual successor to Wolfenstein 3D of sorts, the game uses a more advanced variation of the Wolf 3D engine, and is telling by the look and feel of the game. A bunch of cultists called the Triad have set up shop on some island and are planning some devious deeds, you play as a member of the HUNT a team of elite commandos who's job is kick Biso... El Oscuros butt! Play as a member of the team, each with varying health, defence, speed, and get ready to unleash absolute gib-filled mayhem. Unlike of contemporary shooters of the time, you have hand guns, a smg and a few rocket launcher-types to play with - plenty of ways to blast your foes to smithereens (literally blood and gobs everywhere!) there are also some fantastically funny power-ups to play with. The game isn't that easy (Hard and insane) and it will test your skills, your patience and your grit. The enemies are great, the soundtrack by legendary Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince is one of the best ever soundtracks in any game, tons of head bopping tunes to compliment your journey! I recommend this version as it is fantastic game (do not concern yourself with my play time, I played this A LOT before), it uses DoSbox and holds up really well. However, I fully recommend that you pick up the new Ludicrous Edition by Nightdive studios from steam store instead, as it as all of the previous content from the original releases, has updated visuals and it feels better than ever.
