This is a PC-based first-person shooter mod released in 2003, built upon the foundation of the Quake II engine. It offers a distinct experience that blends classic shooter mechanics with a unique medieval fantasy setting and a spiritual narrative. Players step into the role of Mike, a protagonist endowed with holy powers, tasked with a mission of purification.

The core gameplay expands on the established shooter formula by introducing new features and modes. Players can engage in a 17-level single-player campaign or team up with others for cooperative play. A separate mode, known as Flood, challenges players to defend against waves of demonic enemies and seal the portals from which they emerge, a mode that can also be played with AI-controlled allies.

Story and Setting

The narrative centers on John Coronado, a troubled teenager battling internal demons. Mike is dispatched into John's mind to cleanse it and save him. While implied to be an angelic being, Mike is described as a "friend" in the game's documentation. The game's atmosphere is steeped in medieval fantasy, with environments and enemy designs that evoke a sense of ancient conflict.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Players wield a variety of weapons, including medieval armaments like daggers and swords, alongside holy spells such as Smite and Trinity Blast, which are powered by mana. Most weapons function similarly to those found in traditional shooters, but each also possesses an alternate firing mode. These alternate attacks offer increased damage at the expense of higher ammunition consumption.

Enemy encounters feature a range of medieval fantasy creatures, including zombies, necromancers, and humanoid fighters. Many of these adversaries possess special abilities and alternate attacks, adding layers of challenge to combat.

What makes this game unique?

A distinctive feature of this game is the player's ability to pray. This action allows Mike to instantly regain full health. While praying, the player cannot attack but is surrounded by a protective aura that repels attacking demons. This mechanic introduces a strategic element of risk and reward, requiring players to find safe moments to heal.
