| Strife (Video Game) | comment |
A comet struck the planet, unleashing a virus that ran rampant and killed countless human beings. Those that were infected and survived began to hear the voice of a malevolent god known as The Entity in their minds, and began to worship it. They formed a cult known as The Order and began their conquest of the planet, using technology far superior to those outside The Entity's sway. Their brutal reign lead to the creation of The Front, a resistance movement dedicated to overthrowing The Order that, as of recently, has been stymied by their lack of manpower and The Order's technological advantage.That is until you came along, of course.Released in 1996 by Rogue Entertainment, Strife is the last commercial game to use id Software's Doom Game Engine (now officially known as id Tech 1). It featured hub-based levels and small RPG Elements such as cutscenes, Dialogue Trees, shops, a rudimentary leveling system and an actual, relevant plot. Unfortunately it never received much attention or commercial success due to it using a more "primitive" engine compared to what was out at the time, and it was overshadowed by id's latest technology-advancing game that was slated to be released a month later. Despite this, it was eventually rediscovered by fans of 90's shooters and became something of a Cult Classic.Strife was considered abandonware for a long time due to Rogue Entertainment no longer existing, and the game can be played on modern operating systems with Doom source ports such as ZDoom. At the tail end of 2014, Nightdive Studios acquired publishing rights for the game, and on December 12, 2014, the game was re-released via Steam as Strife: Veteran Edition for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux-based PCs. This updated version of the game features many new enhancements such as high resolution modes and widescreen support, OpenGL rendering capabilities, dynamic lighting and bloom, rebindable keys, and restores lost features of the original game.Not to be confused with the MOBA game of the same name. In fact, the Steam release was retitled The Original Strife: Veteran Edition. | |

RPGs Equal Combat | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_178cb4b9 | comment |
RPGs Equal Combat: Averted despite being one of the first FPS/RPG games. In addition to improving your killing skills, there were NPCs to talk to, stores to shop at, a decent storyline, and multiple endings. And then your ability upgrades were rewarded from progressing the story rather then killing your enemies. This is still hampered by the fact that, in the end, Violence Is Still The Only Option. Even in stealth segments, you're going to reach an impassable tripwire and set off the alarms, forcing you to gun your way through the rest of the mission. | |

Dressing as the Enemy | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_18dd6739 | comment |
Dressing as the Enemy: You need to locate an officer's uniform before you can infiltrate an Order base. Or at least, before you can infiltrate it without setting off all the alarms. Before that, when you go to the Power Station's Reactor Core to destroy it, although your wearing of an environmental suit is primarily to stop you succumbing to radiation poisoning, it has the useful secondary function of disguising you as an acolyte. And then, a little while later (still before you get to steal a uniform for your own use), you steal a uniform for Weran so that one of his Ratpeople can impersonate the guard you killed for it, and thus prevent his being replaced. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: 3 endings total. The two big ones hinge on whether you kill The Oracle or Macil first. As for that other ending? Well, better save before fighting The Entity. You'll know you're screwed out of the good ending if Blackbird is the Entity when you reach the last level. | |

Unwinnable by Design: Killing the Sigil piece holders in the wrong order. Also, doing Harris' mission (to get the Chalice) before you talk to the Governor. The latter is averted in Veteran Edition, which will allow you to talk to the Governor regardless of when you do Harris' mission. | |

The Virus | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
The Virus: It spread when the comet crashed. Those who don't outright die from it mutate. The mutations make them hear The Entity's voices in their heads, as well as causing their bodies to rot and decay at an accelerated rate. It's the reason behind everyone in The Order being either Cyborgs or Men In The Machine. | |

| Strife (Video Game) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: "First they slaughter thousands, then they want all able-bodied peasants for unspecified... tests. How does The Order expect me to keep the peace? What the hell do you want?" Seems like nothing special, but the skill with which the Governor's Voice Actor delivers it makes it easily one of the funnier lines in the game. Also of note. "I stole an ID from the corpse of some fool who fell into the Reactor's Coolant Pit. Blat, instant deep fry... Tell whoever asks that you're the replacement worker for Mr. Crispy. It's just dumb enough to work!" And many of Blackbird's one-liners, such as "Y'know, from the outside this place looks tiny" and "Let's make Mr. Ugly twist and shout!". | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: The locals don't particularly seem to care that a heavily-armed individual is wandering in and out of buildings that rather coincidentally end up suffering either catastrophic destruction or massive death tolls. For that matter, neither do the Order troops standing guard just outside. Hell, you can shoot people with poison arrows and punch them to death in plain sight of their friends or allies and most of the time they won't even move. However, acolytes will attack if they see you attacking a comrade. The guard outside the Sanctuary's front door will strongly object if you try to get in that way, but won't bat an eyelid if you come out of that door. He will also ignore you if you head towards the Sanctuary's river entrance, barely five meters away (fortunately for the plot). | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: The quartermaster at The Front base will give you a few magazines of assault rifle bullets if you run out, but aside from that don't expect any hand-outs from him. Or from the citizens that you're trying to save from the evil empire/cult, for that matter. For a man of medicine, the Front medic is fairly stingy with medical supplies as well, refusing to patch you up unless you've been injured to a certain threshold — the same threshold that automatically uses healing items, if you let the game handle your healing for you. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Yeah! Grenade launchers! Awesome! They even fire two at a time! Except that, unless you're fighting in a wide-open area, the grenades have a very bad habit of hitting any damn thing in the architecture and bouncing right back in your face, and you don't have a choice in firing two grenades at once, which is done with a slight delay. The grenades are also launched off-center, making it the worst weapon to use from behind cover, because either you blow yourself up with it or you stand out of cover just long enough to safely fire it and get shot anyway. The Sigil itself, mainly because it uses YOU as ammo, making most players reluctant to use it. Also, the first Sigil form causes a bunch of lightning strikes to occur in the general area, and can make players believe they cannot target a specific foe with it (you have to be aiming directly at them and be close enough, and if so the node that drop the lightning spawns at the target's feet, otherwise the node spawns at yours). You are required to use it on the spectres and The Entity, as they No-Sell everything else. | |

| Strife (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The assault rifle and mini-missile launcher. The former is the only Hitscan weapon the player has aside from the primary fire of the mauler (which isn't gotten until much later), and for some reason can aim a lot higher than the crossbow or missile launcher. The latter does enough damage to kill most common enemies (such as the basic Order troops or the stalkers) in one hit, ammo is fairly common, and you can carry up to 100 missiles at once. | |

| Strife (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: In the Training Facility, when you get to the last part and have to trip three switches to open the triple exit door, the first switch is reached by going up a lift into a small room, then through an archway to another small room... and the archway closes behind you, and cannot be re-opened from either side, so you had better make sure to flip the switch before exiting through another archway beside it, as once you exit that switch is no longer accessible. Worse, if you subsequently ride the lift again you will be trapped forever, as the lift cannot be lowered from the top landing. Fortunately, there is no earthly reason why you should do this. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: Probably not outright intentional, though. Due to numerous Event Flags and required plotline items, level warping and cheating can really screw up the game. Warping to the final boss directly will automatically get you the worst ending, since you haven't triggered the condition to get the better ending. Not to mention the final boss is immune to everything but the Sigil, which isn't given to you by the All Weapons Cheat. Cheating to get the Sigil earlier than you should can leave you locked out of the game, since holding the Sigil automatically moves the Front Base to the castle, and the gates to the castle are locked at the beginning of the game. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: How the game handles stealth kills has some interesting results. Whether a kill alerts others seems to be based purely on two factors: 1) if the weapon you used is loud, and 2) if the target lives long enough to react to your attack. A third person witnessing the event does not appear to matter. You can kill a guard with a poison bolt or an insta-gib punch, and their buddy looking right at you does not react. Then there are instances in the game where robotic enemies will attack you on sight while human enemies are still in an unalerted state, which nullifies condition 2. You can run all over wrecking robots with fisticuffs and again the guards pay no heed. | |

It's a Wonderful Failure: If you die in the fight with the Big Bad, He finishes off humanity and leaves the planet. Any other time you die, you fall to the ground as you spin to face your killer, just like Doom and all the other games that use its engine. Lose your life to flames (either the Crusader's attacks, or walking into your own White Phosphorous grenades) and you can control the last few seconds of your life as you run around on fire (with the brightness turned up to full). No, jumping into water won't help. | |

Golden Ending | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5 | comment |
Golden Ending: The best ending, naturally. By sparing Macil, he finishes his research before succumbing to madness. With the Entity's defeat, a cure for the virus is made, saving the planet. Blackbird then reveals herself as a woman named Shana, and she shares a kiss with the player. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Either of the two "bad" endings to the game. Trusting the Oracle leads to the Entity taking over Blackbird, and even when you kill it, the future of humanity is uncertain. Lose to the Entity and the ending is completely hopeless, as the Order triumphs and the Entity drives humanity extinct. | |

But Thou Must! | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: Most of the time, when someone asks you to do something, you basically have two options: "Yes, I'll do it" and "I'll get back to you on that." Except, of course, for the times when you have three options: "Yes, I'll do it," "I'll get back to you on that", and "no, I won't do it, but please cause dozens of guards to spawn in and shoot me dead so I learn my lesson". Noticeably, it is possible to make the game unwinnable doing this. Harris's mission comes to mind (see Moon Logic Puzzle below). | |

Moon Logic Puzzle | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_558ae6f6 | comment |
Moon Logic Puzzle: A man at the tavern asks you to steal a chalice from the Order's sanctuary and bring it to the governor for a reward. This will probably get you killed when the governor locks his office door and sics several dozen Order mooks on you. (It's possible to get out through the window, but you'll still get killed.) It's a pretty bad idea, though you wouldn't figure this out unless you talked with the guy you were sent to kill by another man and managed to put two and two together. This happens only once and right at the beginning of the game, though, so even if you screw up you're only out five or ten minutes. Later on, you can actually perform said quest and STILL complete the game. Not advisable under any circumstances, but still... Notably, doing this early on makes the original game unwinnable since after finishing a few Front missions, you need to talk to the Governor to get your next mission. If you picked up the chalice at all, even if you dropped it, he'll lock the doors and sic a wave of bad guys on you as soon as you try to talk to him. You can escape through the window, but cannot advance the plot. In Veteran Edition, on the other hand, the Governor will instead have you knocked out and dragged back to the start, after which you can continue the game normally. | |

Bat Deduction: If you take the long path to get the Golden Ending, you are sent at one point to shut down some factory where people are turned into Order cyborgs. At one point, Blackbird figures out Macil was behind sending all the factory victims to their deaths and he is actually a villain. How she came to this conclusion isn't made clear, but the teleport beacon for resistance members you can find placed in the open, which you don't normally find just laying around in enemy territory might be a hint. | |

Save-Game Limits | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_5d9ce92c | comment |
Save-Game Limits: On release, you had only one save slot. You could save as often as you wanted, but good luck if you saved next to a boss while being low on health or ammo. Even the producers found this to be too harsh, and removed the limit in a later patch. Which didn't help, since although you now have the six save slots of any Doom-engine game, you still only get one per game — your only choice is which you use. Far better to play using ZDoom, or better still play the re-release from Steam, and truly remove that limit. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: This game loves to screw you. Most enemies either use hitscan weapons, or fire very fast projectiles with almost no telegraphing. The game is remarkably stingy with ammo and health pickups, and even when it isn't, you're still going to burn through them in no time because damage from the aforementioned weapons builds up quickly, and even the weakest enemies take a surprising amount of hits to kill (acolytes will take about 10 hits from an assault rifle to kill, and the clips they drop only give you 5 bullets back). Sure, you can go back and buy weapons, ammo, and armor, but that requires money, which you can only get in sizeable quantities by clearing missions. If you get stuck on a mission with no pickups and no money, tough shit. And sure, if you're stuck with low health and no ammo, you can limp your ass back to base for some free healing and ammo replenishment... except that the people in charge of that are just as stingy as the rest of the game. The medic will only refill your health halfway, and the guy in charge of weapons will only give you 20-30 bullets; just enough to kill 2-3 acolytes. And as mentioned elsewhere on this page, if you even think about deviating from the path the game sets out for you in any way, bam! You just rendered the game Unwinnable. To be fair, in at least some levels. the pickups aren't exactly thin, just well-hidden. The Power Station in particular is full of items — nearly all hidden behind waterfalls, in secret cupboards, etc. | |

Permanently Missable Content: The game, for most part, allows you to revisit any of previous maps at any time outside of a Point of No Return near the end. However, killing a certain boss note or more specifically, obtaining a special weapon right after his defeat results in two of the maps being permanently replaced with new versions, with the old versions of these replaced maps no longer being available. Due to this, three maps that were accessible from the latter replaced map end up being sealed off forever, including a Bonus Dungeon. This results in a permanent stamina and accuracy upgrade being lost as well as several secret areas required for an achievement in the Veteran Edition. | |

Disc-One Final Boss | |

Disc-One Final Boss: The Programmer is implied to be the Big Bad at first: everyone seems scared of him, and Macil implies that killing him will make the Order's soldiers (who are mostly cyborgs) malfunction. When you finally fight him, he is pretty tough, however, not only are the soldiers unaffected, killing him gives you the first Sigil piece, starting the main quest which requires you to find four more pieces from other bosses. | |

Mook Maker: Inverted; you can find and/or buy teleporter beacons that spawn in Front troops to help you. Unfortunately, they're only good for a momentary distraction and the ammo they drop when they (inevitably) die... against strong enemies. They CAN actually kill ordinary minions. There is one other good use for them. Unlike your assault rifle shots, their gunfire won't set off alarms. If you set a trio of beacons off in the middle of Tarnhill, you can wreak havoc on the local guards without prompting waves of reinforcements to teleport in. Played straight by the Conversion Chapel: this is where all the Order's troops come from. Humans go in the huge machine, and partly-robotic Acolytes come out. | |

Gameplay Ally Immortality: Shopkeepers and major plot-essential characters such as the Front's leader Macil and the Oracle can't be killed before you're supposed to be able to kill them, even though you can shoot everyone around them, often in their presence. Meanwhile, a lot of minor NPCs that you encounter that you need to talk to in order to progress can be taken out. Fortunately, the programmers have taken this into consideration, often by having them drop the item that they'd normally give you or by hiding a switch in the room that opens the path that they'd normally open for you. | |

Red Sky, Take Warning: The skies are bright and sunny in the first third of the game. But when you wake up after killing the Programmer, the sky takes on a much more darker and ominous shade of blood-red. This is most likely caused simply by night falling by the time the player comes to after losing his consciousness. In the Veteran Edition, though, the sky gets red already when you enter the Programmer's Keep, so the boss battle already takes place under the darker sky. | |

Too Awesome to Use: The phosphorous grenades. They produce a large wall of flames that do massive damage and last for nearly a full minute before burning out. This, combined with enemies being too stupid not to walk into the flames, makes it extremely useful for room clearing. That said, you can only hold up to 32 even with the backpack, and they are very rare, meaning it's a good idea to save them for a rainy day. | |

The Sigil itself, mainly because it uses YOU as ammo, making most players reluctant to use it. Also, the first Sigil form causes a bunch of lightning strikes to occur in the general area, and can make players believe they cannot target a specific foe with it (you have to be aiming directly at them and be close enough, and if so the node that drop the lightning spawns at the target's feet, otherwise the node spawns at yours). You are required to use it on the spectres and The Entity, as they No-Sell everything else. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: While you do have allies, The Front's soldiers are only about as competent as The Order's. Which is about as competent as a Doom zombie soldier. In other words, not very. Particularly bad/laughable in that they'll do things that they themselves warn the player not to do in NPC conversations. "Whatever you do, don't stand too near the big robot with the flamethrower—oh hey, it's a big robot with a flamethrower, I'll just run right up to it so I can't miss my shots!" | |

Kill It with Fire | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_9c1f758a | comment |
Kill It with Fire: You can get a flamethrower that's been jury-rigged from the parts of one of the Order's robots. Unlike most video game flamethrowers, it acts more like the napalm squirt guns that flamethrowers usually are in Real Life rather than just a short-ranged cloud of flame. Mostly due to technology limitations, but who's complaining? There's also white phosphorous grenades available for the grenade launcher. | |

Interface Spoiler: One of the achievements in Veteran Edition originally had a description that outright spoiled the fact that you have to defeat Macil. Even better?

Before that, when you go to the Power Station's Reactor Core to destroy it, although your wearing of an environmental suit is primarily to stop you succumbing to radiation poisoning, it has the useful secondary function of disguising you as an acolyte. And then, a little while later (still before you get to steal a uniform for your own use), you steal a uniform for Weran so that one of his Ratpeople can impersonate the guard you killed for it, and thus prevent his being replaced. | |

Orcus on His Throne: All the Order ever does in the game is basically being there and maintaining buildings so that you can infiltrate them and massacre everyone. "Our castle conquered by La Résistance, one of our higher-ups killed, his important artifact captured by the mercenary? Eh, I suppose we should be taking action, but maybe later, when we feel more like it". This could be because you're moving so fast, and some NPCs do comment that the Order is likely planning a retaliatory strike. | |

Catch-22 Dilemma: Averted. You gain Sigil parts by killing Spectres — which are invulnerable to all weapons except the Sigil. Fortunately, you gain your first Sigil part by killing the Programmer, and unllike the later bosses, you don't have to face his Spectre immediately afterward. In fact, you only get to face and kill the Programmer's Spectre some time later, after you've already gained your third Sigil piece — and then only if you're on the "good" walkthrough path. | |

Lighter and Softer: Yes the setting is bleak enough to be a Crapsack World, but compared to Doom and its contemporaries, the game is largely set in bright environments, the theme along with the soundtrack were upbeat, demonic sigils and symbols are never sighted in the game, and the design for both good guys and bad guys are leaning into a comic book style. Also, not everyone is trying to murder you on sight for a change, though some NPCs are not trustworthy. | |

Sigil Spam | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_d026cad8 | comment |
Sigil Spam: Literally. Thrice. The Order loves plastering the Sigil on everything. You can spam the Sigil until it kills you (since it uses your health as ammo). Finally, the end boss can only be hurt by the Sigil. Hope you brought plenty of health kits! A non-literal example is a stylized comet symbol (a circle with three rays coming from it, two of them at about 45 degrees each side of the middle one) which occurs first on Judge Wolenick's bedsheets in the prison, then on the Programmer's bedsheets in the Audience Chamber, and frequently thereafter (the vine-covered stonework in the middle of the Order's stronghold, the entire level of the Ruined Temple, holes in various ceilings...). | |

No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_e4884264 | comment |
No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom: A variation. The game certainly offers the illusion of freedom, but the player finds very quickly that if they don't do this exact chain of events at the exact right times, the game is easily rendered Unwinnable. Hell, right at the start of the game the player is offered a sidequest that turns out to be a Red Herring and renders the game Unwinnable if they complete it. There's exactly two moments where you're allowed to decide for yourself what to do, but even then, if you pick the wrong choice with the latter, you're stuck with the bad ending. | |

The Mole | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Macil, according to the Oracle. But in fact, Macil is simply driven to madness later if you kill the Oracle first. If you kill him first, he simply lets his madness take him over. The Oracle is a more straight example, as he pretends to be on your side, but is a bastard. | |

Trick Arrow | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_ef0f881b | comment |
Trick Arrow: Electric bolts are the default, pistol-like, ammo for the crossbow. The poison bolts are a special kind of them that instakills organic foes without provoking anyone else. | |

Devil in Plain Sight | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_f273b1cb | comment |
Devil in Plain Sight: The Oracle has one of those "Entity spirit" boss monsters floating right above it, making it pretty obvious what he really is and indeed, if you attack him in his "human" form, he is immediately revealed to be some sort of dummy, and the spirit attacks. In spite of this, no one (including Blackbird, who's implied to be able to see what you can see and thus can presumably see the spirit thing too) suspects anything. This even gets an unintentional lampshade when you kill the Entity spirit that comes out of the Bishop and Blackbird says it looks familiar. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Emphasis on "earn", as to get the Golden Ending requires you to both make a crucial choice kill the Oracle instead of Macil, as well as go through several levels you wouldn't have to do otherwise, increasing the total length of the game by about a third. | |

Script Breaking | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_f75c8193 | comment |
Script Breaking: The game can be painfully easy to break. From minor and recoverable things like going back to break the illicit power tap (and failing a mission you've already completed) to major things like killing the Sigil piece holders in the wrong order, which makes the game Unwinnable. There's only three 'official' sequences, one for the happy ending (Programmer, Bishop, Oracle, Macil, Loremaster) and one for the Bittersweet Ending (Programmer, Bishop, Macil, Loremaster, Oracle), and one for the really Downer Ending (lose to the Final Boss) but you have access to two of the last four for the entire second half of the game and can theoretically kill them at any time. The game plays fine as long as you obey everyone's orders, but don't ever think for yourself. | |

Useless Useful Stealth | |
| Strife (Video Game) / int_f9669a32 | comment |
Useless Useful Stealth: On the one hand, the basic humanoid (non-boss) enemies will normally only be alerted if you use any weapon other than your punch dagger or the crossbow's poison bolts. But on the other hand, robotic enemies will always go pursue regardless. But on the other, other hand, many areas where getting through without a fight would be useful have alarms that will be set off simply by entering the place, or be filled with robots. Plus, poison bolts deal no damage whatsoever to robotic enemies (or Templars either), so killing them requires either a noisy weapon or getting up close. Both choices tend to be painful. | |
