Description

Take No Prisoners is a top-down, semi-3D shooter that takes an interesting spin on the genre. Action, adventure and strategy all have their place in this game, rolled up inside a cool, post-apocalyptic plot.

You play Slade, a mercenary recruited by The Man to retrieve a special crystal from a mysterious dome, deep in the irradiated hell-hole of San Antonio, Texas. The story progresses, System Shock style, as you collect data files from computers and dead enemies, and place them in a Personal Data Device.

There are over 20 areas in the game, which can be explored on foot or using ATVs, hovercrafts, or sewer boats, in a largely non-linear fashion. The enemies vary, from obsessed cultists wielding laser swords to mechanical warriors who use shoulder-mounted lasers. These elements should provide many hours of enjoyable gameplay, and set the game apart from a top-down Duke Nukem clone.

Trivia

Take No Prisoners has a multi-player feature, but with the demise of the Red Orb Zone, this is largely obsolete. The single-player experience is the large draw in this game.
