Following its re-release by Night Dive Studios back in 2014, the team of classic PC enthusiasts has made The Original Strife: Veteran Edition available on GOG as well so that we can enjoy the FPS/RPG in true DRM-free style. The usual summary that I leave you with on all GOG games:
Hailed as the original FPS-RPG game that spawned countless imitators, The Original Strife: Veteran Edition is a love letter to the classic from 1996. Immerse yourself in this all-consuming epic quest that for the first time combines riveting role-playing adventure with the spectacular Doom 3D engine!
An evil presence has implanted itself in the fabric of our world. Play the role of spy, assassin, warrior and thief as you are lured into the darkest and most perilous adventure of your life. You'll have Blackbird on your side - a seductive underground agent that will provide you with clues as you encounter progressively more sinister foes. Be strong, and trust no one.
FULLY INTERACTIVE WORLD
The elaborate virtual environment offers 28 interconnected levels covering over 200 square miles. Explore medieval towns and industrial complexes filled with pitfalls and perils, ending in a final confrontation that will reveal the planet's darkest secrets.
