Feel free to rate and discuss this game.

Now this is a game that I really wish would get a freeware release or even a remake... I even once started a project to remake it using the Doom engine but gave up.

Blake is definitely underrated. Sure, it used the Wolf engine, but the addition of a map and completion goals made it feel like a totally separate game. My only complaints are that they got really lazy with some of the levels in the later episodes, and the final ending is astonishingly unfulfilling. You don't even fight a real boss, you just walk around blowing up stationary objects.

Planet Strike, which I don't think there is a demo of, is actually worse. There's no way to stop the map from being shown rotated to your current POV, which makes it almost useless, even though it's now displayed in the HUD.

Actually fun to play (it's probably my favorite of the Wolf3D engine games, except for the original), but as other have already mentioned, when you progress further into the game the levels get boring and repetitive. Also, the ending left me completely disappointed (for the real ending, check out the so-so sequel Planet Strike). Graphics/sounds are alright, nothing spectacular here though. The registered version comes with a nice-looking manual that has a little comic strip as introduction to the game's story.

Had this one been released a few months earlier, it might have been more appreciated.
