The briefing

About this game

Crusader: No Remorse is a 2D isometric shooter set in a future dominated by the World Economic Consortium. After surviving an ambush that claims the lives of two fellow Silencers, an elite WEC soldier turns to the Resistance and begins fighting against the organization he once served.

Combat combines agile movement—including rolling, kneeling, jumping, and running—with an extensive arsenal. Weapons range from assault rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, and lasers to specialized equipment such as microwave cannons, EMP dischargers, and plasma cannons. Enemies include WEC guards, elite forces, and heavily armed Guardmechs.

Missions involve objectives such as sabotage and rescue, with exploration and puzzle-solving playing an important role. Players may need to locate switches or terminals, bypass traps, open doors, disable alarms, and destroy security cameras. Supplies and money can be recovered from defeated enemies, while recharge stations, batteries, and first-aid kits help restore health and energy. Between missions, the Resistance base provides opportunities to interact with allies and buy or sell weapons.
