Rise of the Triad: Dark War Reviews

A FPS FROM THE 90S WHERE U CAN BE GOD, OR A DOG, U CAN DO DRUGS, AND GUN DOWN CRAZY NAZIS AND MONK LOOKING ENEMYS WHAT A HOOT IT WAS AS A KID

TL;DR: I recommend getting it, but I strongly 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 Oscuro's 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 too easy (on Hard and insane difficulties') and it will test your skills, your patience and your grit. The enemies are great- they look fun, they trash talk and they can explode, the soundtrack by legendary composers Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince is one of the best ever soundtracks in any game, tons of head bopping tunes to compliment your journey! 9/10 While I do 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. I strongly recommend that you pick up the new Ludicrous Edition by Nightdive studios from the steam store instead, as it as all of the previous content from the original releases, has updated visuals and it feels better than ever.

This is an incredible game, one of the best experiences I've ever had, both versions of this game (This one and Ludicrous Edition) are extremely enjoyable and fun, the action, weapons, characters, boss fights, quirkiness, absolutely everything this game has to offer is perfect. Both versions of this game are my #2 favorites of all time, right under Half-Life. If you don't like arrow key controls and prefer mouse controls, there's a great guide on how to remove the vertical forwards movement of the mouse here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2895178811 Play this game or your toast.
