8 itemsAbout the Game
This is the classic, 1995 version of Rise of the Triad. For the 2023 remaster, please see the Ludicrous Edition store page.
Tackle incredible game hazards, such as spinblades, gun bunkers, huge boulders, Firejets, pits, Firechutes, Lavawalls, gas grates, and more.
"Like DOOM, Rise of the Triad is a high quality, fast scrolling first-person perspective 3D action game. Graphics are on par with DOOM. It has destructive enemies and lots of them, an arsenal of weapons from simple pistols to missile launchers, life-preserving armor, traps and ambushes galore, and the ability to play by modem or network. In all, there's a great degree of similarity between the two games. In addition, Rise of the Triad puts most of the other DOOM wannabes to shame - it's that good!" - Chuck Miller, Editor of interactive Entertainment
Rise of the Real Estate: Super huge levels - up to one million sq. feet, and up to 16 stories high!
Digital Diversity: Ten unique, digitized enemies in the game, plus four multi-stage bosses!
Win Your Way: Thirteen hardcore weapons and play as one of five characters, each with unique attributes and abilities.
Collateral Damage: Nearly every object can be destroyed - even mark walls with bullet holes!
Connect and Kill: Modem and network playable, up to 11 players via an IPX compatible network.
Controller Support: Partial Xbox 360 Controller support.
