It offered an [[wikipedia:Role-playing game (video games)|RPG]]-like action game, with heavy story elements and voice-acting. Among the features were hub-levels similar to [[Hexen]], the ability to increase the player's accuracy with most of the weapons, an item that could destroy forcefields, and the ability to raise your maximum health from 100 to as much as 200 permanently, similar to Doom. Strife is also the very last commercial game to use the Doom engine. Its source code was [[wikipedia:Strife (video game)#Development|lost]]. | ||

A comet has hit the Earth, unleashing a virus and killing a large amount of the populace. A lot of the survivors started to hear the voice of a god in their heads (The [[Entity]]) and worshipped it. The Order took over the world and all women and children found were killed, forcing the survivors to go underground, while the men became peasants.

Calling themselves the Front (although in the shareware version it is referred to as 'The Movement'), they struggle to free themselves from the Order. However, the Order's technological advantage has damped the Front's efforts. | A comet has hit the Earth, unleashing a virus and killing a large amount of the populace.
