Great action/horror FPS, holds up well today.
Fast fun action. Not too simple, since one weapon and a spell of your selection can both be wielded at the same time, double barreled style. It also has RPG elements since you can earn points towards boosting the spell of your choice, and there is a decent number of useful items and ammo types.
The sound design in this game is arguably the best sound design of any game: a great array of horror effects, scary creature sounds, and intriguing ambient sounds.
Graphics make good use of the quake 3 engine, but don't expect a high poly count compared to today's games.
However, the beasts that you encounter are frequently very well designed and animated, as are the weapon and spell modeling. Pretty much everything comes together in the game. it is also lengthy, with a fairly large number of bosses. As a hallmark of its time, you will also have to slay a couple of mega size monsters at the very end.
This game is a must buy bargain bin game.
