Where No Remorse shines is in its gameplay, which more than makes up for its plot deficiencies by delivering some brilliantly entertaining carnage. It’s there and it’s serviceable, but it’s very much on the generic end of things and is fairly forgettable overall. Honestly, the game’s story is nothing much to write home about.

The player assumes the role of a defecting special forces soldier who takes on a series of missions to bring down the WEC. Taking place in a dystopian future, it follows the story of a resistance group trying to overthrow the tyranny of the World Economic Consortium. Crusader: No Remorse is the sort of grim and gritty experience that makes those sorts of picturesque mental images cry. Not pleasant, in the happy, birds, bees and sunshine manner, mind you. Rather than spoiling my ignorance with research however, I opted to jump right in and revel in the surprise which, I’m happy to say, was pretty danged pleasant. Aside from my beloved trailer’s proclamation that No Remorse had been 1996’s “Action Game of the Year,” I actually knew very little about the game and the reception it received back in its heyday. I’ll admit that I had no idea what to expect going into it. Watching it again recently however, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia and, in turn, a desire to finally give the series a try by diving into its original entry Crusader: No Remorse. Today, the trailer itself is nothing too impressive a showcase, at best, of the 90’s awful CGI. One that stuck with me in particular through the years was for the game Crusader: No Regret. There were a few for other Wing Commander titles (including this really cool one for Wing Commander 4), but the rest ran the gamut of genres and titles. You see, the copy I purchased came with a folder containing a bunch of trailers for different games published by Electronic Arts. Heck, even just the game disc itself managed to affect me. It’s a game that I love almost unconditionally and one that stands tall amongst those classics that have stuck with and influenced me as a gamer. My love of Wing Commander 2 is no secret at this point. Released in 1995, Crusader: No Remorse pits the player against the tyranny of the World Economic Consortium in a series of challenging missions fighting through robots, traps and soldiers in isometric, futuristic environments.
