Description
Chasm: The Rift is a run-'n-gun shooter. You play as a Marine that has been sent inside a power plant to investigate the loss of power at the plant. You later discover that a group of monsters known as the Timestrikers are using the power to create ruptures in time that allow them to invade the Earth in three different time periods: present day, ancient Egypt, and medieval times. Timestrikers that have invaded the present day are also taking control of a nuclear plant in order to detonate a nuke that will destroy nearly all life on Earth.
The game starts in the present day, as you go inside the power plant and nuclear plant, battling strange-looking security guards and security systems that have gone haywire. You will then find the rifts that the Timestrikers are using to invade other time periods, eventually winding up at the Timestrikers' military base in the distant future.

Trivia
There was a censored German version with green blood. They simply altered the game's color table to turn everything that was red into green. The introduction sequence with the mission assignment was also missing for unexplainable reasons.
