![]() Basically, Silencer is probably one of the most controllable characters in video game history. Don't worry though, they're easy to get used to. Definitely better looking than the majority of Playstation games though.Ĭontrols: Crusader is partly known for it's mind bending controls. I'm making them sound worse than they really are though, you'll have no problem with them after the first 30 minutes. The game looks beautiful on PC, but even uglier on Saturn. This means textures can be blurry, ugly, etc. Graphics: The graphics are very, uhm, PS1-ized. The PC and Sega Saturn versions have FMV's, while the Playstation version doesn't. If you like cheesy action stories, you'll certainly love this. While it's a bit cliche, it's still a fun story. Now, you go rogue, and join the Resistance, to bring the WEC down once and for all. ![]() The WEC betrays your squad of Silencers, killing all your pals, except you survived. (Think the Imperial Guard from Star Wars, heh even the Silencer looks like them too!)Every day civilians are massacred in the streets as the WEC searches for power. You are a Silencer, part of the WEC's elite guard. An evil corporation, the WEC (World Economic Consortium), is bent on world power. It's easily one of the best purchases I've ever made. After watching a review and a few minutes of gameplay, I was totally sold, and purchased the game. I remember that game with the "Red Boba Fett", and after 5 minutes, I found out it was Crusader. Fast forward to September 2011, and I'm looking for a new game to buy. I thought it looked pretty cool at the time, but didn't give much thought to it. Try looking on eBay for boxed copies of No Remorse / No Regret, if you're really interested - if you're lucky, you can find mint condition / still shrink-wrapped for $30 a pop (scalpers will ask for $70-100+).A few years ago, I stumbled across this game on a gaming website. Havn't even had the time to play RUINER either. The gameplay itself is also seems rather static and monotonous (shoot, hide behind objects, shoot again, run away, repeat). Synthetic would need more varied, futuristic and gorey weapons, just to start coming close to a Crusader. Seems like they could make it really fun, but currently looks rather static and not very fluid - the way the character is animated and moves is just awkward (Crusader's movement was way more fluid, though it was locked to tile-based-movement, the animations gave the character weight and presence). There's a more recent game by the name of Synthetic, which some reviewers dubbed as a sort of spiritual successor to Crusader (maybe more superficially, as being a 3rd person shooter with guns in a more modernized dystopian future with an evil corporation, etc). (Mechs, destruction, explosions and gore!) I havn't had the time to play it, but I'll have to set aside some time soon. Will play Ruiner once I'm done with another game, but hopefully later this week too - hopefully just after it gets the update (or so I read somewhere it shoudl be soon).įunny you mention Brigador - it is the first game I've seen in a while that I felt really captured the style and gritty dystopian future and feel of Crusader (maybe moreso that 80/90's concept of such, as you mention). It was very thick box, almost twice the width of other big box releases of that time. Gog version is one thing, but man, I wish I still had my big box of Crusader. It's more of a sandbox though with tons of lore thought. The mayhem is totally there, just like it was in the Crusader games. Originally posted by Spectrum Legacy:Recently I had Crusader No Remorse vibes from Brigador, despite it's a game about mechs, tanks and hovercraft in this cool 80s-90s rendition of how the future would look like. (Just picked this up, so I will have to actually play before I can really comment on this game, but it is at the top of my to-play priority list!) Theres just something about the mechanics (hackable/controllable mechs & security-cams, badass weapons like the 'Crystallizer/Liquefier/Broiler & remote-controlled spider mines, keycards for special/secret access areas, etc) and general tactical-action that I've never seen done as well since the 90's. That same part was hoping that Steam Workshop support would be a part of this game, and that people might make a Crusader mod for it (being that, I do not expect the devs to try to remake or emulate the classic Crusaders, but I sure as hell would buy it if they were to make one :) Some part of me wishes this was it, as it gives the same kind of vibes. Wonder if there will be a spiritual successor to the Crusader series. ![]() I picked up RUINER for this exact reason: If it only gets me closer to the badass corporate-techno-dystopia world of Crusader, I'm happy. Old post, but searched for 'Crusader' and had to reply.
