Overall, No Remorse provides exactly what the title implies: addictive hours of fun without remorse.
The variety of the weaponry and their different uses definitely sets No Remorse apart from Doom clones, and part of the fun lies in figuring out the optimal use for each item. Other inventory items include mines, explosives, spider bombs, shield generators, medikits, power cells, etc. The "Unifier" plasma rifle, for example, completely disintegrates a human target, leaving only some residue. Part of the fun in No Remorse is seeing your enemies die in various ways. The arsenal of weapons you will have at your disposal is impressive, ranging from the mundane (semiautomatic pistols), to the devastating (UV-9 ultraviolet rifle). This, together with the inclusion of many interactive items on each level, adds a fun element of realism to the standard find-blue-key-to-unlock-blue-door gameplay. Moreover, stealth and planning are encouraged by the presence of alarms, which will call enemy troops to your location and deactivate some crucial terminals if you set them off. Although you will spend most of your time blasting anything that moves, wanton destruction is not encouraged, since there are useful objects such footlockers which contain power-ups and ammo, as well as computer terminals that yield passwords and clues you will need. Mission objectives range from destroying a Consortium refinery, rescuing prisoners, to kidnapping a Consortium official. Gameplay comprises of 16 missions which must be completed in order.
Despite this cliche premise, No Remorse gets better with time as the plot thickens and the gameworld is fleshed out in great detail, complete with competent acting in full-motion video (which, obviously, are too large to be included in this CD-rip. The premise is not original, but effective in the game's action-packed context: you are a former Silencer, an elite soldier working for the World Economic Consortium, who one day decided to join the Resistance, a movement which aims to free the world from the Consortium's oppression.
