This software features numerous harmful foes, a wide range of arms and defense from basic guns to missile catapults, snares, protective armors, and plenty of ambushes.
If you're a Linux user, you're in luck - Rise of the Triad has been improved with an updated engine, sourced straight from 3D Realms. The engine itself is free to use, but you'll need data files from either the shareware or full commercial version of Rise of the Triad to play.
So, what's the game all about? The story is pretty intense: You're a member of HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce), an elite group of operatives. Your mission is to stop a cult leader from killing millions of people, and while you're scouting a remote island, you suddenly find yourself surrounded by enemy troops.
To make things even more complicated, your only escape - a boat - explodes in the distance, leaving you stranded. Your only hope of survival is to make your way to a massive fortress monastery and defeat the enemies waiting for you there. Luckily, you're armed with some truly incredible tech weaponry, including heat-seeking missiles, split missiles and even the Flamewall cannon.
If that's not enough, you'll also come across magical instruments that'll stun and amaze you. And good news for gamers: the updated version of Rise of the Triad for Linux now supports most CPU architectures and can be played at higher resolutions. Even better, network play is planned for version 2.0, so you can compete against others online!
Overall, Rise of the Triad is an amazing gaming experience that's definitely worth checking out. So why not give it a try and see for yourself?
