Chasm: the Rift

Chasm: The Rift is one of many clones of the amazing action game - Quake. Just like its precursor, this game promotes the view from the perspective of the first person. Somehow, the gateway to the neighbouring dimension was opened and the world is flooded by a plague of ubiquitous monsters. As a soldier unknown to anyone closer to you, you have to face a whole host of opponents, from the Nazis, to great creatures, to save our planet from extinction.

Although the game does not have an innovative plot and generally does not dominate the technical level over Quak, it has some interesting features worth a closer look. First of all, an innovative weather system in which falling rain drops in open spaces look very impressive. In addition, the player has the ability to manipulate the lighting - he can extinguish lamps and torches, so that the area will immediately be covered with Egyptian darkness. The possibility of destroying the windows is also interesting, which was a completely new element for the game release times. Unfortunately, the Chasma engine did not allow you to look up and down, which was a kind of limitation of full three-dimensional and in some cases made it difficult to fight against low opponents.
