Most first-person shooters at the time had you controlling silent protagonists, so it was appealing that your character talked. The only exception to this rule is boss fights.ĭuke is part of the appeal of the game. Just about all of the levels have you going around in a maze, where colored key cards are needed to open some doors and your ultimate goal is to find the switch to end the level. The game also throws in the ability to carry and activate items, like a hologram to dupe enemies or using steroids to temporarily bulk up your melee power. You have limited ammo, but you can carry a bevy of weapons, from a pistol to a chaingun to pipe bombs, and there's no such thing as reloading. You play the titular character, who is out to save the world and wants to get some payback on the aliens that blew up his spacecraft.
