What players say
I went into this game expecting to be irritated from the tank-like gameplay. And that's what I received. But somewhere along the way I began to enjoy the game especially in the last couple levels. That doesn't negate the annoying scorpions and spiders that poison you. Or the frustrating and confusing designs on some of the levels that only exist to drain you of whatever supplies you have left as you wander around...

Very good if your a fan of classic tomb raider this isn't too different just some controls but the combat is bad unfortunately.
A truly bizarre save system means this game runs as well on my modern PC through Proton as my CD-ROM copy did on a windows XP laptop 20 years ago - that is, the first level is playable and then it breaks. Do not waste your money if you run Linux. Shame too cuz I always wanted to actually play this lmao.
