Last Rites Digital Download

Updated: Mar 19, 2020





















































About This Game And The Dead were made flesh and dwelt among us. In flesh ripped and pocketed in running sores and the terror of our age our bodies cannot staunch the flow of darkness nor stem the tides of death. We are food but not for long. There is enough fire power stacked here to blow them soulless husks to hell and back; and we are giving it them all. The towns and cities are burning and the end's a long time coming. Enjoy it while you can. • Full 3D Environment with full 360 degree rotational view. • Mission based scenarios for full immerse play. • Massive numbers of enemies at any one time. • Controversial horror setting. • Gory hack and slash first person action. • Incredible Painted backdrops. Due to the age of the title, it currently does not support network multiplayer. b4d347fde0 Title: Last RitesGenre: ActionDeveloper:Ocean SoftwarePublisher:Classics Digital, Piko InteractiveRelease Date: 13 Apr, 2018 Last Rites Digital Download I like the graphics for a DOS game but the controls are hard to use D-pad, it should be ASWD and Mouse.. Must play for any fan of DOOM, Alien Trilogy, Disruptored and\/or Strife. It is a good game for its era, it holds up pretty well, but it runs on dosbox it isn\u00b4t a bad thing but I need to chage some options in the config file, like controls and resolution, the arrows controls are hard to master in these days, it would be nice if it came pre configured with WASD controls and the mouse support needs optimization.. A pretty underrated game. For what it's worth, the competition at the time was pretty hard to go up against. But looking back, it is easy to find enjoyment with Last Rites.I'm going to split this into three brief sections: comments, criticisms\/complaints, tips. I played this way back when I was still wearing jorts and had frosted tips in my hair, but coming back to it felt great and I hope that you can find some enjoyment out of it as well. Comments -- What works for Last Rites is the great sprite work, music and having squad memebers as an unique gimmick. Although the troopers being useful can be debatable, I can't say I mind a few idiots taking shots or killing hoards of rats for me.Seriously the gun sprites, enemy sprites, and overall sound direction for Last Rites makes it enjoyable. Being able to save at any time makes it a game you can play for a short session and come back to.Head to the discussion forums to see how to get the most out of the game, Piko and some of the more technical experienced people have been pretty helpful and Piko has fixed some of the release issues. Good on them, seriously. Criticisms & Complaints --Last Rites didn't wow anybody back in the day when it was released, which can still be seen as to why today. Some of the levels are a flat out slog, with large open areas, fustrating enemies (it always has to be a small hitbox enemy to ruin your day, in this case its rats) and if you're not used to being dragged by both legs through the express lane to the ending of the game, you might find yourself getting lost in the urban levels! Don't ever get hit by any gunfire, unless you want to see your frames drop to -10 (I'm sure theres a way to fix this, but my dosbox experience is at a minimum. It'll kill you so hard and quick and fustrate you!Poor dosbox, I've always hated you. But considering I don't see any brave souls working on a source port (or if the sourcecode is even out there for this game), it'll have to do. Just requires tinkering and knowing what to look for in order to get the most out of it, something I've never had the patience to do without any guides or people telling me what to do. That's on me though, so I don't hold it against Last Rites or Piko. Piko is also seen trying to make the process a little less painful.While I really like the idea of having squadmates, their usefulness is probably closer to the disappointing side of the scale. They tend to fun infront of you (though they'll take no damage from your gunfire I observed), their large sprite darting too and fro in font of you might bother some. Rats. I hate the rats. Just run down a hallway with your pistol and keep going if you see them. Thats my advice. Tips --See that radar bottom left? That orange blip is the objective. Press spacebar to activate a switch usually. It'll help you get around the level a little easier.Don't get hit by gunfire - for it hurts you (an obvious) and it also kills your frames. This might be fixed but as of this writing it is beyond me. Strafing while moving forward is faster then just moving forward. Make sure you rebound your arrow keys to WASD or whatever you're comfortable with for a more modern feel with KB+M. Shotgun is great against turrets.Save the UZI for big globs of baddies. See those little red pixels on the streets while you're walking around? Chances are those are ammo boxes. The game rewards those who like to explore every crevice. You'll find ammo and weapons this way quite easily. So long as you like going for walks. The pistol's range is surprisngly great. If you can tolerate hearing the pistol fire over and over, the infinite ammo and long reach will make thining the heard out and destroying turrets from afar really easy. Use the shotgun in close combat instances, the spread is quite atrocious. This ain't no single barrel shotgun from Doom where it can act as a long range rifle, so to speak.Overall for the price and rather underappreciated history of Last Rites, for anyone who really enjoys older FPS, this is a no brainer to have. Whereas dosbox can be bothersome to work with, Last Rites is a compotent shooter that can kill some time for those looking to experience older titles and missed this one. It's no "doom killer" or a strong contender for best FPS of all time, but it is definitely worth your weekend and a single playthrough. Good job Piko. More titles in the future I hope.. Speaking of underappreciated gems.I have no idea where this game was all my life. It's the closest I've gotten to a proper ''spiritual sequel'' to Alien Trilogy.Now, that being said, it carries with itself a bunch of ''features'' that come with the game-type:-Instructions are a short bit of text at the start of a level, which you have no way to read again (that I'm aware of); and, while in mission, some levels have little to no indication of direction or where to find your objectives.-Graphics are, of course, outdated. Not a complete negative, especially since some of us don't run the best rigs, and the animations on enemies and weapons are good-looking.-While zombie AI is fine, maybe abit too ''ranged''-prone (at times), the friendly AI is suicidal and prone to getting right in your line of fire. They sadly have limited health, but I have never lost one in combat.Regardless of all this, though, the game is fun, the soundtrack is great, and if you enjoy older fps games, especially more objective driven ones, this one will suit you very well.. Last Rites is a curious FPS from the late 90s. It's a pseudo 3D game that reminds me a lot of games like Alien Trilogy in terms of aesthetic. It was largely forgotten for the same reason as other games of its ilk like Strife. It released too late. By the time the game came out people had access to technically superior 3D titles such as Quake. However that being said. The Steam version lacks music and runs in Dosbox. And you need to reconfigure Dosbox inorder to aim properly up and down. So... refunded. I don't recommend anyone purchase this game until GOG gets ahold of it.
