my next video will be an LP of a rather strange "catholic/christian" FPS game. no, not super 3d noahs ark, this one is called called lone wolf three, and for a game that is supposedly about god it doesnt apear to reference it much. its a game which has you travel through 5 uninspired worlds (grass, evil, stone, desert, ice, a fighting six uninspired skeletal looking supposedly demonic enemie types, using a suprisingly inspired arsenal of almost 31 guns both real and made up (wrong priority on his part, but appreciated). What this game lacks in detail it makes up for in huge ass worlds and (I beleive) a bit of a decent spore like map generation involement. its too bad you move so damn slow you cant explore any of it. The graphics are clean, smoth, and reflective. The downside of this is that because the models are great and the textures are bad it reminds me of the stock 3d models you get with programs like maya, super3drad, and FPSmaker. In other words, its like getting killed by clipart. Still, its beutiful by the standards of its original release date.
Overall, its not doom 1, 2, and especially not 3. It seems like it tries to be something its not, and thats scary. The lack of ammo and "goddamn bats!" set of enemies would feel great in a ruined hospital or an abandoned town, heck any generic horror setting. but the happy go lucky green fields, deserts, pine forests, cliffs, and then the underwhelming rendition of hell (no lava or fire, just red fog as far as I know. then again, I can only last about 2 minutes in underworld) which should be scary as hell (pun intended) ruin any chance of it being scary and make those features frusterating because ammo is rare, and theres no melee or infinite side arm (And you cant outrun the enemies either). For an exploration game (At least in levels like grassland and iceland) its good and its fun to trek across the huge plains into a skeleton infested church town or temple. But for an FPS, its lukewarm. I have to give the guy credit since he aparently built it up from the ground up though. by indie game standards, its ok.

3 of the 4 generic skeletal enemies. I hate the fourth one with a passion,
and I dont think it deserves a screenshot.
