Voidbrand – I ramble about Crusader: No Remorse, another game from my childhood, sort of. You play as the Captain, a Silencer who formerly worked for the WEC (World Economic Consortium). Your team is wiped out by a WEC mech for refusing to kill civilians, so what do you do? Throw your lot in with the Resistance, and begin your “crusade” to dismantle the WEC with No Remorse! An excellent isometric action game with controls that can be pretty frustrating, but does the game hold up? The soundtrack certainly does.
