The Crypt 1.2

The Crypt 1.2 is a first-person shooter game for windows. The game features one demo level with more challenging play and fun.

There are two characters: grunts and bosses. The Grunts are the bad people that try to prevent the user from progressing through the level while the Bosses are the end-of-level opponent the user must destroy to finish the level. The game has extra lives, found in each level, but not always along the quickest path to the exit. The bottles of energy scattered throughout the levels give user the energy they need to survive the attacks of the Grunts and Bosses. The barrels are a favorite cover for the Grunts. However, they are easy to explode. The Bosses order the Grunts to setup the crates as stronger barriers to slow user progress and help them protect their valuables. The barrel walls are impenetrable. The Bosses use them to impede user progress and provide cover.

The Crypt offers old-style, straight-through play to the user. That means in order to get to the next level; users have to play their way through the previous levels without saving. That may seem like a disadvantage, but it adds a level of difficulty while not making the game unbeatable.
