In Extremis

In Extremis is a video game in the action genre developed by Blue Sphere (France) and published by U.S. Gold Ltd. originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on DOS.

In Extremis is probably the darkest game Delphine has ever developed, and for good reason.

In contrast to the great mix of cinematic cutscenes and fun gameplay of Out of This World and Flashback, In Extremis is nothing more than an uninspired DOOM clone with some improved graphics. The plot and sound effects are obviously - and shamelessly - copied from the hit movie Alien: you play a space pilot who crashes into an asteroid and flees with his ship to what appears to be a nearby derelict cruiser. The cruiser turns out to be full of mutilated human bodies and hostile aliens, which, of course, you must fight to get out alive. Even with Delphine's name as the developer, I couldn't help but get the feeling that Delphine just wanted to capitalize on DOOM mania by releasing a similar FTS as fast as possible, without paying attention to plot or even gameplay. This shows rather painfully in the game: you must find keys to unlock doors, blast endless waves of aliens, and get to the next level when the same thing repeats itself. If you like FTS or Delphine's previous games, you'll be very disappointed with this average DOOM clone that brings nothing new to the table. No wonder the game disappeared from store shelves very quickly.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
