You are a space super-agent. And how do these people expend their time? Saving the world, of course! So here you are on your way to get rid of Dr Goldfire, the menacing evil guy, and his evil army of mutants and aliens.

This is basically and improved Wolfenstein 3D with lots of neat details added, you can see they where trying to make something fun and new instead of just a new shooter.
And one of the ideas they had was getting you on problems for going trigger happy. Not just because you can shoot at the typical dangerous canister stored on really not safe places, but because there are informants around the place.

Some of the technicians working for Goldfire are on your side, so you can walk to them, talk and get a bit of info, some food tokens for buying health at food machines or maybe a bit of ammo. If you are not lucky the guy you talked to will be loyal to the bad guy, and they have quite a bad temper along a ridiculously small yet lethal pistol.

Shooting around will scare the loyal ones, a good way to find which ones to kill, but bad guys are not deaf. If enemies hear loud noises like screams or shoots they will start looking for you, so if be careful or you will get surrounded.

Luckily they can’t see what is behind them, and the basic pistol makes no sound. Not that it really matters much, there are few opportunities for stealth, a shame because the game is really hard, and you can already go from floor to floor without needing to explore the current one completely. A bit of improvement and this would be a shooter where you have to kill as little as possible, a great idea, even when time has shown these stealth shooters are more about shooting than stealth.

So they where trying, but it ends just as another shooter, fun for a time and repetitive. As I said it is just Wolfenstein 3D, on space.
