Strife

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 born already. Somewhere in the depths of a ruined Town Hall, a group of people who oppose the Order's regime will welcome the player to become the one who will free the Earth from terror.

Strife is a plot-driven first-person shooter, that uses the classic Doom engine. Instead of linear levels, there is an entity of locations in the game, most of which allow the player 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 new equipment can be bought, and taverns, where the latest gossip is told.

Trivia

One of the things that people really complained about when Strife was released, was that it only had one save slot. This was pretty inexcusable for a game that had large FPS elements, where death could lurk around any corner.

Anyway, you don't actually have to worry about this 'feature', because Rogue fixed it in the version 1.3 patch, allowing you to have multiple save slots. Make sure you download the patch, if you're going to play the game!
