Description
You are the leader of the Gunmen, the only few sources of law on the frontier. Five years ago the Xenome came, and the Gunmen only prevailed when the General sacrificed himself in a suicide attack.
The Xenome are back, bigger and deadlier than ever. Who is behind the Xenome infestation? Will you live long enough to find out?
Gunman Chronicles is a fully-fleshed out version of a Total Conversion what was for
Quake, then
Quake II, and finally
Half-Life. It is a first-person shooter with lots of weapons and some rather creative level design and atmosphere.
