Mortyr: 2093-1944

Moby ID: 1136

Description official descriptions

In an alternate version of the 21st century, the Germans have taken over the world after winning World War II. The player is a scientist in the future and, with the help of a time machine, they travel back to the war to alter the outcome and find out how the Nazis managed to win it in the first place.

In this first-person shooter, the player encounters Hitler's SS troops and Wehrmacht infantry equipped with pistols, machine guns, bazookas, and more eccentric weapons in locations such as castles and ruined cities. Using the time machine, players also travel back to see the impact of their actions, such as with modern scenery and weapons. Vehicles, planes, and submarines are active game elements in a 3D world powered by Calaris' IC engine.

The game has lots of explicit violence and includes Nazi symbols, and German voice acting.

An awful FPS!

The Good
It was cheap.

The Bad
I hate to trash any game but this is awful!

The graphics for the time were awful. At the time it was released we'd already had game like Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Serious Sam, Quake II etc etc... what were the developers thinking??? I know it was a budget game but there's budget and there's just don't bother releasing it to the world budget. Now which one do you think this is?

The levels were very dull with nothing out of the ordinary going on in them. It was just one level after the other, all the levels have little variety and are very forgettable!

The AI was so bad it was laughable. The AI of course would respond to sight and sounds but by running backwards and forwards. Hmmmm

The sound was below standard and the music when you first hear it makes you scream hysterically and scramble to the sound options in an attempt to stop it from hurting your ears.

This game has one of the biggest bugs i've ever seen in a game and i've seen quite a few in my 20 year gaming life. The game would slow down to an absolute crawl for no reason and the developer even admitted to it but did nothing to fix it. There was also problems with the copyright protection as well. LOL LOL LOL...copyright protection on this game....what was the point. Anyway it wouldn't install if you were using a DVD drive or a CD drive that wasn't the first CD drive.

Avoid this game like the plague!

The Bottom Line
This game belongs in the just don't bother releasing it to the world budget category.

Awful graphics, awful sound, awful music, slow down bug, copyright protection bug and simply way out of date.

It's wolfenstein... with out all the thing that made it good.

The Good
that's a real hard one. you have lots of weapons, feels a little like wolfenstein. and that's all i can think off.

The Bad
almost anything about it! the game is hard to control. Gameplay sucks. AI was better in PONG. the latter\ending levels are horrible!!!

The Bottom Line
I can't belive I finished it... don't play this garbage! 2/10

Windows · by BlackNightmare (259) · 2004

It tries to recreate the Wolfstein experience, and does so very welll, except for 1 thing, wolfenstein was fun.

The Good
It brought back lots of wolfenstein nostalgia. The 1944 levels were decent. the tank crashing thropugh the wall was memorable

The Bad
The AI is atrocious. The sound effects and music are awful, they sound muffled. The future levels made my eyes hurt, way too much neon.

The Bottom Line
Wolfenstein3D with new graphics.

Trivia

Covermount release

The full version of the game was given on Gamelive PC #20 (July 2002), a Spaniard magazine.

Credits

Sebastian Zielinski, credited as the lead programmer, was not officially involved in Mortyr. He is one of the founders of Calaris Studios, whose IC Engine was licensed for the game.

German index

The official demo version is banned in Germany because of Nazi symbols.

German version

All references to Nazis were removed in the German version; the player now fights against a sect named "Chronotec". A detailed list of changes can be found on schnittberichte.com (German).

Pictures

A stained glass windows in a 1944 Berlin cathedral bears an image of a woman in a bikini. The same woman in the same pose is also on a poster in a disco in the year 2093. Considering as how all the propaganda posters in 2093 appear to be of the production team, does this mean that the bikini woman is the wife/girlfriend of one of the creators or is this just another aspect of the time travel "story"?

Press

Despite very poor reviews abroad, the game was almost universally acclaimed by Polish press, and ads ran for the game called it "a hit on a global scale!" and "the most important event of the year".
