For me pure nostalgia. It is however also an entertaining game. The graphics are of its time and fine in that way. I like the small puzzles if you can call them that. Also neat pieces of game-play eg. the soldiers playing dead and how you can wound them into submission.

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is the best way to experience Rise of the Triad... if you really want to. The original version, Rise of the Triad: Dark War, is just that... the original version of the game. It has less content, less features, and untouched graphics. It's nearly three decades old and it shows. And the 2013 remake which I previously [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/Xafron/recommended/217140/]reviewed is just not good in my opinion. ROTT: Ludicrous Edition is a remaster of the original game, but with a number of new features and graphical updates. It also has restored characters and game content not available in the original release, alternate weapon SFX (because some hated the original SFX), online multiplayer, controller support, mouse and keyboard rebinding, a level editor, and a new episode. You can also swap between the original soundtracks and the 2013 remake soundtrack, which was the best part of the remake by far. At the start of this review I said this is the best way to experience ROTT "if you really want to" and the reason I word it that way is that this isn't the best boomer shooter to begin with for a number of reasons that I am sure people have been discussing since 1995. It's not the worst time out there, and Nightdive did a fantastic job on their end with this remaster. I won't say it isn't worth trying (especially on a deep discount), but at the same time there are plenty of better boomer shooters available, both new and old.

maze like levels, switch and key hunting. like wolfenstein but with bullet sponge enemies, sounds bad but is actually pretty entertaining. this remake is better than the original, feels pretty good to play, the original doesn't run well on modern systems and i hate dosbox. *the sound of the smg haunts my dreams.
