Game Type: First-Person Shooter / RPG
Sadly this is the first DOS Game for which I'm recording a gameplay video for which is actually not freely available right now. Nightdive studios must have acquired the license and decided to re-publish it. At least from what I saw from the Store page it's been revamped in HD I think.
I wouldn't flat out recommend it though. It's definitely not your pick up and play title. The RPG elements are pretty strong and you'll have to follow the story closely. I'm guessing there might be a map that came with the game, as it was pretty confusing to navigate the city with very vague instructions such as "Go visit the governor". OK? :P
Seems to be peddling some stealth narrative with avoiding to trigger alarms. But to be honest, most of the time I had no idea what was triggering the alarms, let alone how to avoid them.
Seems that if you start a fight in the city it's pratically game over. Since the city slowly fills with guards up to silly quantities. I literally murdered a tavern full of guards. (I did record this video at the lowest difficulty. My guess is you would be decimated rather fast if you tried this on the higher difficulty levels)
Interesting shooter, but would require investing some time getting to know it and perhaps investigating for things like maps.
