Can somebody remind me why I might have downloaded this? I'm sure it must have been pitched to me somewhat effectively already but I really can't remember what made me get it or why I never got around to playing it.

Edit: okay turns out this is the remake that just came out. I'm guessing I acquired this after having watched Ben Croshaw's review of the old one. Or seeing that it was being remade and remebering the old one being something he spoke well of

It was recently given away. I prowl the free games communities but often don't play myself, just collect.

Edit: actually bought this years and years and years ago when it came out. They tried to do Quake but then put it on methamphetamine, stir in huge wave battles reminiscent of OG Serious Sam. It's mostly a 6/10 game but I also don't regret buying it and it was fun to play.
