Conclusionĭread Templar is the right game for you if you miss classic shooters like Doom, Quake, Painkiller, or Serious Sam. Every step you take has a purpose, and there is music to match it, which, while it sounds bizarre, is something you must experience for yourself by playing the game to discover this. The weapons, environment, and other aspects of the sound are also well-designed, so you always feel like you are in a world where your movement matters. Metal is not my most listened-to genre by any stretch of the imagination, but I still found the music to be rhythmic and really fit well with the action on display, where I felt it was scripted, but each enemy encounter has music that fits the current combat going on, and you rarely ever get to hear the same beat with each encounter as the duration of these battles can last a few seconds to even minutes. From the sound effects of the enemies to the metal music matching the tempo of the action going on screen, the game does a brilliant job of making sure you are visually and musically stimulated throughout your experience. The sounds are easily my favorite aspect of the game as well. Though considering the source material that inspired the title, I can say this is a place where you won’t be motivated to buy the game for its story, rather the fast-paced action that awaits you and the variety of methods you can employ getting to that brass tacks action with little to no interruptions along the way. Ordinarily, this is where I feel the game could have been better. It really helps make a very chaotic yet meticulous gaming experience like no other. It can prove really rewarding once you start timing using your Katana, throwing it at an enemy, switching back to your weapons, and repeating. However, combining the Katana with your ranged weapons becomes a great way to fight enemies later in the game. The weapons need no ammunition, and the alternate fire turns it into a devastating spear-like weapon that can be thrown at enemies, however, at the cost of a VERY lengthy cooldown. The beautiful display of watching enemies explode when you shotgun them, and use your Katana to further destroy their corpses into a messy explosion of blood is a very satisfying feeling which is also a very cool detail in the game that just goes to show the levels of blood the game has attached to it. While you won’t always find the ammo for your preferred weapon, it also is a lesson in adapting and making the most of what you have versus what you wanted. Different weapons have varying ranges of pros and cons when using their alternate fire to fight the endless waves of enemies, but to counter this, ammo is also generously peppered throughout the experience.

The pistol for instance becomes similar to an Uzi, and the shotgun turns into a sawed-off. Each weapon has an alternate firing mode which you can activate by right-clicking on the selected weapon.

Your weapons range from the basic pistol to shotgun, and even a powered-up gauntlet that just empties the screen in one shot if aimed right.
