Description

In the distant future, our world is ruled by a group of people who call themselves "The Order". Many disasters had plagued the Earth, and after many wars, misery, and death, the Order dictates our lives and deprives us of our freedom. Can we bear it any longer? A rebel organization has been already born, somewhere in the depths of a ruined Town Hall a group of people who oppose the Order's regime will welcome you, the hero of the game, to become the one who will free the Earth from terror. Welcome to STRIFE...

This game is a plot-driven first-person shooter, that uses the classic Doom engine. Instead of linear levels, there is an entity of locations in "Strife", most of which allow you to roam freely and to explore every corner of the world. Although there are no true RPG elements in the game, it has many features untypical for a FPS: there are "friendly" areas, where there are no enemies, but people to talk to, stores where you can buy new equipment, and taverns, where you can listen to the latest gossip.

Trivia

Ads in US PC gaming magazines displayed review scores for the game-- 82% from PC Gamer, and 3/5 from Computer Gaming World. These are respectable but less-than-fantastic scores, so seems a bit odd that Velocity would choose to display these so prominently.
