Combining strategy with fast shoot-em-up action. Crusader: No Regret is an excellent sequel to Crusader: No Remorse. But Regret shows no remorse in outclassing its predecessor by showcasing better graphics, more refined gameplay, and more mayhem.

Note: These patches are unnecessary for the Crusader: No Remorse Gold, Crusader. ZIP, mirror) — Demo for Crusader: No Regret released in October 1996. Crusader: No Regret is a 1996 released third-person shooter of the US developer Origin Systems and the sequel to the game Crusader: No Remorse from 1995. It was released in the distribution of Electronic Arts for MS-DOS. Crusader’s action: No Regret begins 46 hours after the finale of Crusader: No Remorse.

Silenced by Silencer

Crusader's simple premise: You are Silencer, a lethal futuristic enforcer who's sided with the resistance movement battling an evil organization called the World Economic Consortium. Using a variety of firearms and special weapons, you blast through 10 levels of a WEC wasteland.

Storywise, Regret picks up immediately where Remorse left off as Silencer's picked up drifting in space by the WEC. As soon as the cockpit of your craft opens, you're spraying gunfire in every direction.

While Regret's game engine mirrors its predecessor's and retains the same 3A-overhead view, there are several new elements. The levels are bigger, so that becoming lost is definitely a danger. They are also more challenging, teeming with perplexing puzzles and traps. Puzzles range from collecting identification cards to pressing switches in the correct sequence. Silencer also has a new move, the forward roll--an ability that's essential to dash past hazards and enter hidden areas with narrow openings.

Crusader: No Problem

Controlling Silencer takes skill beyond a quick trigger finger. He has several advanced moves, including crouching, side-stepping, rolling forward, and rolling side-to-side. The responsive controls are tricky at first, but they're easily mastered with practice.

A Violent Scene

The graphics are clean and detailed. The levels look great, and they're packed with items that explode when shot. With bright fire and smoldering embers, the explosions are particularly arresting. The graphics highlight the gruesome carnage. Enemies explode, run around engulfed in flames, and can be frozen and subsequently shattered. The only downside comes when you tune in to the cheesy full-motion video of the resistance members at the video terminals.

The clean audio features loud explosions and intelligible voices (as in other games of this type, enemies believe they can stop you by yelling 'Halt!'). Music ranges from hard-grinding guitar riffs to subtle synthesizers, providing an excellent accompaniment to the visuals.

Crusader: No Contest

Crusader: No Regret has all the right elements to produce a top-notch action game, including superb running-and-gunning, great visuals, and hours of intense gameplay. You'll have no regrets about joining Crusader's crusade.

ProTips:

• The steam valves are a handy way to eliminate enemies. Turn the valve wheel when an enemy is close to a leaking pipe, and the escaping vapor can kill him.
• Recharge your energy at various first-aid and electrical stations. However, be careful around these structures--careless gunfire can easily destroy them.
• Use the elevators to your advantage. If an enemy is standing below one, press the elevator switch and let the elevator do him in.
• Use care when you press switches. Some are actually booby taps, like this gun that rises behind you and suddenly fires.
• Avoid using explosives against the enemy troops. If they explode, you can't search them for ammo and other helpful items.

Crusader: No Regret (CNG) continues the hyper-violent tradition of death and blood letting that the game's predecessor, Crusader: No Remorse began a year or two before it. If you've not played either game (and shame on you if this is the case), a bit of explaining in relation to the story is in order. CNG focuses its gameplay around a solitary character only known as The Silencer. In the original game, the Silencer broke free from the bonds of the W.E.C., the World Economic Consortium. In the first game, your Silencer broke ranks with other Silencer's due to a conflict of morality. Being a member of the W.E.C.'s top military organization, the W.E.C. tried, at all costs, to stop you.

The story of the original game had you taking out a new weapon from the W.E.C. that might have given it global supremacy. In this game, which takes place almost directly after the original, you've sneaked onto a freighter bound for the W.E.C. moon base. Once you arrive at said moon base, the fun, and the slaughter begin, as a new chapter in the Silencer's reign of terror begins. One must be warned of the highly violent nature of this game, and suggest that those of younger age don't play it.

The game itself is played from a top-down three-quarter perspective that many games such as Diablo, X-Com, or Syndicate have used successfully. Through use of either a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or gamepad, one controls the Silencer through ten huge levels of traps, enemies, and puzzles. The controls for this game can be somewhat complex, what with twelve weapons and a multitude of movement commands to chose from. Luckily it's somewhat intuitive, and before long, one will have their Silencer rolling, strafing, and crouching with the best of them.

While the Silencer might be the official star of the show, it's the weapons that really steal the spotlight. There are twelve weapons within the game, and each can have different effects. There's the gun that turns people into ice sculptures, the gun that lights people aflame, and so on. The weapons and their effects are quite astounding to watch as one plays the game, and the effects they have on their victims are usually quite humorous.

A good character and lots of violence do not a good game make, however. Good level design is also a key to a good gaming experience, and CNG has great levels to kill and be killed in. The great thing about the environments in CNG is their level of interaction. There might be lots to look at, but it can all be blown up real good too. Explosions and fire effects in this game are phenomenal, and really make you want to break out a stick and a marshmellow. Objects and people all have great ways of being destroyed, and this only adds to the atmosphere. The levels themselves are laid out in quite a logical manner, which objects, barriers, and puzzles usually making sense in their placement and use. The levels in this game are quite huge, all with multiple levels and rooms. That being said, while ten levels may not sound like a lot of game time, the levels themselves are big enough to keep you going for a while.

The difficulty of those you'll encounter in these levels is configurable when you begin the game. There are four levels of difficulty, and each makes the game progressively harder. The enemies you'll encounter are no slouches either, as they'll use rolling and crouching techniques to avoid fire while setting off the alarm to call their friends. Whether this is AI or scripted behavior is uncertain, but it works well.

The story of the game itself is of typical fare. One must shut down the moon base to help put a stop to the W.E.C. Been there, done that, right? The story is presented quite well, however. The game makes use of Full Motion Video (FMV) for NPC communications and mission briefings, and the acting is actually quite well done. The video itself is also well done. The game also has computers with little bits of information strewn out across the landscape, giving more insight into the story.

What this all boils down to is one highly enjoyable, very violent gaming experience. This is a fun game for those who like lots of action..and blowing lots of stuff up too. If you have any interest at all in action adventure, and don't mind a bit o' violence, Crusader: No Regret is highly recommended.

Graphics: Even after all this time, the graphics look great.

Sound: Fantastic sound effects and voice acting highten the experience.

Enjoyment: This game is as fun as any other action/adventure game out there, if not more so.

Replay Value: The campaign is very linear, but difficulty options can make you come back for more.

Crusader: No Regret is a direct sequel to Crusader: No Remorse, its events starting 46 hours after those depicted in the previous game. The protagonist of the game, a silencer known as the Captain, manipulates his escape pod into a WEC freighter heading towards the moon. There, WEC has established itself as the sole power, overseeing mining procedures and using the moon as prison for dissidents. The Resistance members are forced to work for WEC, extracting a precious radioactive component, Di-Corellium. The powerful corporation is not happy to see the Captain on the moon, and he has to use all his wits and skills to survive as WEC, led by Chairman Draygan, is trying to hunt him down.

The game looks and plays very similarly to its predecessor, being an isometric shooter in which the Captain can also jump, run, roll, and kneel to avoid enemy attacks. A few new weapons and death animations have been added. The game's structure is somewhat more straightforward compared to the previous installment. In No Remorse, the Captain was limited to carry five weapons; in No Regret, this limitation has been removed.
