Forsaken
Forsaken is a first person shooter based on the Descent series of games. It was released for Windows on in April 30th, 1998. Forsaken was later released on PlayStation on May 13th, and Nintendo 64 on May 27th of the same year. Television commercials for the game featured the repeated phrase "The future is forsaken".
In a world where science had stepped beyond the realms of humanity and the search for higher learning had broken all known limits, a subatomic experiment gone wrong caused an uncontrollable fusion reaction to rip through planet Earth.
Now, one year later, the fragmented planet has been classified condemned by the ruling imperial theocracy, meaning that every freeloading scum in the universe has the rights to raid the dead system and take anything left behind.
Amidst the blasted remains of the forlorn Earth the worst mercenaries this side of the sun do battle not only against each other, but also the robot sentinels that the government has left behind. Our future has become forsaken.
Screaming through tunnels and roaring over the blackened plains, they seek the thrill of a post-apocalyptic head rush that only comes with such a deadly game.
You must compete against the likes of Mephistofun, a veteran of a dozen droid-combat wars and the epitome of pure pumped metal devastation. Beard, a head-banging, bear-swilling hard mother who never blows out his bones. Nubia, the meanest bitch this side of hell with a kill a minute attitude and trigger-happy mentality to match.
When the Earth is left to die and the galaxies' violet prodigy roams free, the future of our planet has become … forsaken.
Forsaken is primarily a multiplayer First-Person-Shooter. The game is based on a 3D-engine that allows unlimited 360-degree movements. This concept is similar to the Descent series, yet Forsaken is not just another Descent-clone, in fact the developers did an excellent job in creating a world of its own, with superior effects and gameplay.
Basically there are two modes to choose from: Single player and Multi player. It is most helpful to complete the single player mission first and gather some experience by fighting against the computer-controlled vehicles. On the other hand, if you do not like single player mode, playing the game against other human pilots might be an amazing new world for you. All in all the two game modes are pretty different, resulting in individual strategies for each mode.
