Mission Objective: After being smuggled into Strogg territory in a cargo container, your mission is to infiltrate the Strogg base, reprogram their Defence computer and launch 4 of their own missiles at their own Comm Center. When you've done this, you must go to the destroyed site in a Logistical Train and rendezvous with a drop ship. Simple huh. You're gonna get a hurt a lot. This is Strogg Central, it aint no picnic. ~Marty Howe

"Heroic Bloodshed" is a complete adventure. Your mission begins with you blasting your way out of the cargo container that you have used to smuggle yourself into the Strogg compound. Upon exiting you have a chance to gawk at the size of this installation. Your first look has you craning your neck at a tall and imposing fortress built into the side of a cliff face with walkways looming overhead. At the foot of the cliff are two Strogg ship and a large "dam like" wall cordoning off the other half of the base. Making your way around small mountains of cargo containers and Strogg personal you eventually gain entrance, and then the fun really begins.

Marty, author of such Quake1 maps as "Horror Erotique", has created quite an exciting map. Launching the missiles and watching them lift off while the ground shakes and tosses you around is quite fun.

Once the missiles are launched you then make your way through the twisted wreckage. It's quite fun taking a look at the damage that you have created and also negotiating the slabs of concrete and twisted metal on your way to the waiting drop ship.

Gameplay is fun with a few puzzles to solve along the way. Combat is challenging and there are enough new sites to see to hold your interest through to the end.
