Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior (Classic)

I'm about half way through the game, and I see why this has a mixed review score. Don't get me wrong it's not the worse game out there, however I feel like it fails at the game play level to truly stand out. The good: 1. You are a Tau: It's really neat getting to see a different faction's pov in the Warhammer universe (even if I'm unfamiliar with the lore). 2. Environments: So far they seem fairly interesting. :) The bad: Most other elements of this game suck like: 1. Ai: This game's friendly and hostile ai sucks. If both sides are present they tend to end up kissing each other opposed to actually fighting. The ai generally is dumb, typically just bomb rushing and standing in front of you, the main challenge they pose is damage and even then sometimes they can't land a single shot. Certain enemy spawns are bs like on the tau ship when a whole space marine chapter just decides to spawn all at once on the bridge. They suck to fight, and fight with. 2. The feel: This game hasn't aged very well, the sensitivity feels awful (I believe it's mouse acceleration), movement doesn't feel super nice even compared to Half-Life, F.E.A.R, etc, and overall is annoying. 3. Bugs: This game is fairly buggy, the most noticeable is the inconsistent character volume, it randomly decides to be quiet. 4. Check point system: It sucks, and can reset you a fair bit if you die. Conclusion: Generally not very good, might be worth 1 playthrough if you pick it up on a sale but it really just sucks, and I feel like it could be so much better with a proper reimagining.

Fire Warrior came out in 2003. Back then you could have been playing Halo: Combat Evolved, the first Call of Duty, Warcraft III, Knights of the Old Republic... Fire Warrior, even for the year it was released, is an objectively outdated, clunky and janky game. The controls feel floaty, the enemy AI is incredibly simplistic, enemy variety is limited. Challenge is very artificial, mostly coming from the second half of the game being filled with enemies that can teleport, play dead, 2 shot the player, or require several minutes of sustained fire to kill. Despite this, I had a lot of fun with the game, up until the final three levels. It's extremely rare to see a Warhammer game with a non-human perspective, let alone a Tau one. The novelty of that, and the presentation of the setting, are what carries it. The game ran perfectly fine for me. It is patched to run on modern systems. There's the slight annoyance of all the controls needing to be configured through a launcher. It has windowed borderless, and never crashed for me or had any hiccups. If you are a Warhammer fan and especially a Tau fan, there are much worse buys than $7.49 for 6-8 hours of being Tau doom guy. Just go in there expecting a kind of bad but charming game running on the fumes of passion for its setting, and you might have fun like I did.

Играл давным давно. Примитивный порт для 2026 года, но и за это спасибо. Игра простая и понятная. Но управление кривое и посмотреть его в игре вообще нет возможности. Рекомендую только для ностальгии, не более

Я Тау enjoyer, жаль что эта устаревшая говно мамонта, единственная игра где можно от первого лица играть за Тау

its really good at wasting time

your local ♥♥♥♥♥♥ here. this game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks options only gives you audio and not video/keybinds. sensitivity is way too high. tutorial doesnt even tell you what the keybinds are. figured out the night vision button before FIGURING OUT HOW TO SWITCH WEAPONS. i would rather try to give myself a vasectomy in the dark while tweaking like your average "american" than to try figure out how to play this game again. on an unrelated note i love space marines and hate Tau i certainly think i would like this game but i cannot be bothered with all the issues listed above got this at 25% discount and i still feel like i payed too much for this game.

The only thing that killed halo, was halo itself.

I really enjoyed it. The graphics are of the time, and the sound design is a terrible waffle of silence and grating sound effects with whispered dialogue... plus some of the gotcha mechanics are pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. That said, I was genuinely impressed at how many different enemies there were to encounter and how many weapons I was able to scavenge. I had a lot of fun mixing and matching my kit while fulfilling secret tasks and doing my part for the greater good. If you like old ass games with a bit o' the ol' jank to 'em, this is perfect for that.

When I was a young child at Primary School in the 2000s, 40k was a very very niche thing, and I recall telling my friends about it, none of them knew what it was, but one of my friends had this game on ps2 and gave it to me! ...I did not make it past the prison mission aha, now that I am older in my 20s I have beaten the game! To play this game you will need to have an iron will and patience. I see a lot of other reviewers did not have this and complain a lot about the difficulty of the game but, seldom do retro games hand-hold you through the experience. Pros -Voice Modulation for guard makes them not human and scary - Playing a game from a xenos/Non-Imperium Perspective is unique and a fresh experience - Neat Retro Aesthetic - Railgun (lategame) is soooo satisfying to shoot! Cons - LACK OF music - Clunky Aim and mouse Controls - Very very Unforgiving Checkpoints GAME FINISHED AND 100%

Говно мамонта, которое заслуживает внимания. Сюжет, конечно, не cinema, но присутствует. Если вы тру фаны вахи, то в принципе может понравится.
