SOF - RAIDERS

I just play a bit of this, but...That game engine is PRETTY...PRETTY BAD. I don't care that graphic, that is old school one, sound also. Control? Is fine, just too much buttons, but why enter vehicle is "E", and exit that is "X" key? Never mind. But problem is game engine, lagging in the base, on battlefield is work fine. Use sniper rifle is fine, shoot some enemies with M16, and I got CRASH!!! What!!! I bought this mainly is feeling that childhood old school FPS gameplay, BUT this break it. Thanks?

HyperKat goes tactical! I played this game through beta, so perhaps more familiar than someone just starting. Raiders is an old school tactical first person shooter, where you load out and go solo into a variety of ever-changing missions. Everything is important, including your load out and the decisions that you make. A warning - it can get hairy when you are being sniped at or strafed! Lot's of fun without too much getting in the way, and the missions are short enough that casual players won't get bored. Lots of fun.

A classic shooter with an immersive environment. The voice over's interjected throughout the game offer a sense of tactical realism. The interface is clean but customizable. Weapon selection is quick and straightforward, you don't get bogged in silly customizations and personalization options that drag most other shooters down. The ability to do the missions you want in the order you want them is enjoyable. There is a true sense of mission progression in a larger strategic goal, not just going out on the field to kill things. The BOT AI is surprisingly sophisticated and can be down right vicious at times. The bots seem to adapt to the weapons you bring on the mission which is unique among most shooters of today. This gives the game a variability that is a welcome change from the on rails shooters with bots that do the same thing over and over. The ability to pilot vehicles is a nice touch. Controls are simple and easy to use and allow you to turn you vehicles into weapons. I like the fact that the vehicles themselves incur damage and are not indestructible. All in all a decent game and a steal at it's current price. I recommend it for anyone who enjoy a classic first person shooter. It's hours of fun and I look forward to updates and the evolution of the game which I'm sure will come given the reputation of other HyperKat games.

After playing through the 8 missions a few times I find that nothing repeats. The enemy bots are never in the same place and the mission targets move to different locations. The replay value is great since I can not predict where the mission will be what to find or where the enemy is. The enemy bots are relentless in hunting me down no matter how I try to avoid them. I can finish a mission in about 15 minutes or so and it saves my progress. I notice the time of day changes and I got caught up in a rain storm with lightning once. It does not have multi million dollar artwork in it but what is there hits the mark. I think this is a fun game and well worth the price.
