Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior (Classic)

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%

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.

La nostalgia hace mucho daño, de todos los classic de Warhammer que han metido en steam este es por lejos el peor, no tiene ninguna mejora ni siquiera el multijugador esta activo, sigue exactamente con los mismo errores y el control super tosco de entonces, llevaba tiempo sin cagarme tanto en la existencia de los Tau. Este juego es peor de lo que recordamos, entiendo que por el 2002 hubiese un trasfondo bien distinto que ahora que de dos parpadeos te hacen 7 reshoots 15 avances de historia en la que todas la protagoniza Calgar pero aquí es llevado más a lo absurdo que Malum Caedo bajándose a una buena parte de la Legion Negra y varios demonios, la historia narra como la infecta raza xeno de calvos Tau, en la que llevas a un sucio tau de 1,60 que hace lo imposible, literalmente, en salvar a un Etéreo que iba de misión diplomática con el Imperio, en ningún momento he dejado de ir con el Imperio en todo el juego porque no tiene mucho sentido la que montan los tau, además hay mucho sinsentidos como el tau bajando sin reventar en una capsula de desembarco marine, usar un bolter no del tamaño humano, si no el de los astartes sin que el retroceso le reviente al flacucho tau, bajarse astartes, un dreadnought, un príncipe demonio y un señor de la transformación, de Caedo me lo pruebo creer, es un marine de vanguardia veterano, pero este tío te lo presentan como un novato que acaba de empezar en la casta de fuego, ahora dime como no le da algo al presenciar todos los horrores del caos, también que alguien me explique que hacen los Raptor en esta zona con como no los Ultramarines, aunque tengo que salvar al Capitán Ultramarine que nos presentan por ser un tio que nos odia hasta la médula y no le queda otra que colaborar contigo. En fin, el juego nos lleva durante una serie de niveles estirados lo máximo posible en la que la escoria esta se dedica a asesinar a ciudadanos imperiales en servicio activo durante la que serían 4 zonas básicamente, me parece increíble que con 24 años de diferencia las armas de los tau sean las mismas, han evolucionado en negativo la escoria esta. Si lo ves de oferta y lo quieres probar, adelante, pero serás juzgado como el xenos que eres por el Glorioso Emperador de la Humanidad

10/10 would alt tab for gun again

i dont see what people are talking about with control issues, its fine for me i mean i cant get past the first mission but thats just cuz im buns at games like this

I think a lot of the reviews complaining about how hard this is are exaggerating. I played on Normal, and found it simple enough, if not easy (boltguns do in fact rock, especially on full auto). Anyway, the game is fun for a playthrough on sale. I have a soft spot for these old FPSs so I really enjoyed it, but it's definitely marred by a lack of soundtrack and the most awful SFX I've ever heard in a game, stuff not even the Chaos gods could have conjured.

Древняя, немного кривая, но все ещё хорошая игра по вахе

Another amazing Warhammer game!

Игра вернула меня в детство) спасибо ей) но не могу не отметить то, что в игре отсутствуют настройки управления, то есть играешь так, как навязано разработчиками) управление поменять невозможно. тем не менее игра не сложная, я прошел ее довольно быстро, однако игра довольно однообразна, при этом арсенал пушек довольно внушительный) игру рекомендую) 6,5/10 из-за того что в игре невозможно поменять настройки, устаревший геймплей) тем не менее игра ламповая, в духе старых шутеров)

Even as a T'au fanboy it's really hard to find anything good to say about this game. Some positives: it's mercifully short. 45 minutes of my playtime is leaving the game on when I went to the store. Missions can end very quickly. I think I died maybe a total of 5 times? A few times to Marines, and once because I jumped off an edge to see if that was the way I was supposed to go. The set pieces are interesting, for it's era. The real disappointment is that the game is not even bad, it's just not good. It's really very meh. It's easy to see why this game got trashed so hard when it came 2 years after Halo and just a year before Half Life 2 and Killzone. Two weapon limit with, in all honesty, no interesting weapons. No interesting mechanics to speak of. A constant barrage of KAIS SECURE THAT BURGER KING objectives. They could have had you piloting a battlesuit but inexplicably made you the strongest Fire Warrior to ever live. My own personal gripe with the game is that if you're playing this game you probably have some interest in the T'au, but the majority of the game is spent in Imperial environments, using Imperial weaponry, as they do try to realistically feed you T'au ammunition at the beginning and middle sections of the game. They give up on this at the end though when they just start littering each level with T'au corpses and guns so you never have to switch to your side arm. The beginning of the game I primarily used a lasgun and for the middle sections a bolt rifle, switching only to my T'au weaponry to fire grenades into the face of marines. While these weapons are cool, and it's nice to have the choice, I'm here for the T'au stuff. It doesn't deserve a no though, but it really doesn't deserve a yes. Another instance where I wish steam would let me give it a meh. It was okay enough that I finished it. I would not purchase it though. Fortunately my friend got it for me as a gift. Sucker.
