A classic game, pretty fun and action packed, interesting characters, somewhat same-ish settings but lovely interactivity and a good pace. All in all it's a pretty decent game, definitely a golden oldie. You'll be curious to see what's around every corner and the weapons are fun and feel-good. Pretty impressive for an engine that was sub-par compared to the Build engine, but a solid shooter nonetheless. Also dat ♥♥♥.

This game is awesome. I think it would have been much more popular if it had not been released the same year as Duke Nukem 3D. I had a lot of fun on Duke 3D, don't get me wrong, but I always thought this one was just as good. Duke had a better atmosphere (looks a bit nicer, feels "bigger," has interactive pool table, etc.), but this one has better gameplay, especially later in the game (personal opinion).

The good:

-Tried in 2014 with Steam's built-in emulator. The game works.
-The game is still fun. Mind you, it is a nostalgic kind of fun. If you didn't grow up playing games in the 90s, you will probably find the game to be terrible. There are some quality-of-life differences that games have now that just didn't exist then. If you like Duke 3D though, you'll probably like this.
-Interesting weapons and items. This is what I liked better than Duke. Duke has the atmosphere, this game has the better weapons, IMO.
-Different playable characters. This is the first FPS I recall ever having different characters. The different characters have a few different weapons. It's pretty neat and adds to the replayability. You also get another character that is a bit of a mix of the other characters by beating the game! Pretty fancy.
-It might bother some, but to me this game is set up to change between first person and 3rd person view. If just feels better switching views in this game than it does in most other games.

The bad:
-Brain-hurting resolution. The game was made in '96 to run on DOS, and looks every bit of it.
-Sometimes the aiming is off, especially when shooting guns on the celing. To get around that just change position (for the guns on the celing you might have to just get closer).

Things to get you started:
-You need to reset your controls before you play. You can configure buttons and whatnot before you play. Also, change the mouse controls to always on (this is mouse look), and also, the game says "invert axis?" or something like that, and for some reason the default is inverted, so if you change it to inverted, it puts it to normal. To get normal FPS controls, W = forward, S = back, A = strafe left, D = strafe right, Space = jump. I also recommend setting E to "use" and Q to "change character view," or maybe it was just called change view. You don't need to worry about "look up" and "look down" buttons. If the right mouse setting is used, the mouse does that for you. I think there is a button for cycling between fast/slower moving too, I just set it to LShift and have not really messed with it. Also, it's a 90s game so no reloading/reload button, so don't have to worry about that.
-Caves are kinda hard to see. If you think you are stuck at the beginning of the game, just walk along the walls. Once you get in the cave you'll be like "Oh, derp." Pretty easy after you find it the first time.
-I played the cat chick and was like "Damnit, I can't jump on the platform. Gahh, curse you 90s platformers!" Well, it turns out that you just have to wait until later in the game, then teleport back to the beginning and it opens the lasers blocking the platforms you need to get on. Lesson learned: if you can't get to it, maybe there's a button to open it later in the level, especially if it's blocked by lasers.

After beating the game (or before, if you're inclined) if you want to have some fun you can press \ <---that's the default button anyway, and then type in the codes for the game. Codes are:

FMK = All health is restored
ARMS = All weapons
RAGMUFFIN = Invincibilty
DIG = No clipping
GIFT = Gives you usable items (by default, use [ or ] to select item, and enter to use item).
OVERDRIVE = Recieve a chip-powerup
SPUTNIK = Reveals the whole map
BLOAD = Warp to the next level

You don't need any of these to beat the game. You can save at any point, so it's easy to pass anything if you want to. These are just for fun, and IMO they do make the game more fun. I don't recommend using invincibility unless you want to just walk through the game (not as fun), just weapons and items, but that's up to you. Also, when you use the GIFT code, after entering it once you can just keep pressing \ and it will load up your inventory with items. You don't have to keep typing "gift" to get more.

I hope you like the game!

Note:
Tried changing the "screen size" to get a better resolution. It doesn't help, but it does take your ammo count and other stuff off of the screen; at least for me it did. It also didn't improve the resolution at all. It just took off the ammo count. Would not recommend altering screen size, but if you do and notice your ammo count/health display/etc is missing, you get it back by lowering the "screen size" a few marks. I think the default is 2 ticks back from max. Max will remove your ammo/health from view.

Words can barely describe the joy I felt upon seeing this added to Steam. A great old game that seems to have been forgotten. I think this is one of the first games I've ever played as a kid back in the 90s, before even DooM.

If you're a fan of shooters like DooM, Duke Nukem, Blood, etc, this is a must!

You may mistake its engine for the Build engine used in Duke Nukem 3D, but I don't think it is. It just feels packed full of cool features.

This is one of my favourite but sadly underrated shooters from the 90's. Having played a demo of it at a young age I always longed to play the full version and bought the big box of it a couple of years ago. Now it seems the game is finally on Steam and so you might want to know a thing or two about it.

Eradicator is an oldschool shooter in the veins of Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, to which it shares most of its similarities though it is rather unique for its time. For one, it features multiple characters, each with their own personality. The weapons are also all rather interesting and serve different purposes. Another groundbreaking feature for this game was the ability to use RC cars and other remote controlled devices thanks to something called PIP (picture-in-picture) view. Another enjoyable thing about the game is the ability to switch between third person and first person perspectives at will (or automatically if you so choose) which helps immensely with the platforming sections, of which there are plentiful. The graphics are also really good for their time and give the game a gritty and dirty sci-fi atmosphere I enjoy a lot.

My only gripe with the game is the level design which does show its age. It is confusing and relies heavily on hunting down switches to push and it's not always obvious where to go. The maze-like design also makes it difficult to navigate the levels and using the map is something you will get used to quickly. The music also doesn't really do much and stays in the background most of the time, adding to the ambience of the game. I'd much rather turn it off and turn on some good old 90's rock.

But all in all this is one of the more underrated shooters from the 90's and fell under the shadow of Quake and other more successfull games. It's nice to see it on Steam and back in action for those who missed it and those who love it. If you're a fan of shooters like Doom, Duke 3D, Blood etc. I highly recommend picking it up.

One of my absolute childhood favorites. I was thrilled to see this on steam. Adjust the controls a bit and this runs as smooth as a hell spawned behemoth riding darkly through hell on a flaming motorcycle!!! Better than snakes made out of money!

GAME?
THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!

Before you play, you want to fix the settings a bit, even though I like playing FPS games, I play this in TPS, cause it gets kinda dizzy in the FPS, if you play the fast character Eleena, she’s fast, and thats why.
Make sure you fix the brightness of the game too, if every thing is dark then you just didn’t set things right.
Make sure to change the mouse axis thing, and the controls to WASD.


It has 4 levels of difficulty, recommend to start with the easy for beginners, some things could be confusing at first.


Maybe it’s because I’ve been with this game since a kid, the graphics still seem ok to me.
(even after L4D2, CSGO, TF2 , Sanctum 2 , graphics don’t seem to bother me)

Love this game so much, brings back a lot of memories, defiantly a No.1 fan of Eradicator


————Now below—— spoilers ——
This game has cheat codes to it
That let you see the whole map
Or GPS the enemies
Disable them
Kill yourself
Invincibility
Walk trough walls
Low-gravity
Fly
Full ammo
Full health
End level
Choose level
And then some system things
Use the “\” key to start the command and then just type out the cheat, here’s one “ \ragamuffin “ this should be enough for you to enjoy the game but not spoil it too much, since you still have puzzle solving to do! You can get the rest online, it shouldn’t be hard to search for.

Cheats are definitely fun, but try playing it on your own first, if you really get stuck, then you can use them.
BUT BE SURE!!!!
Save a current version before you use any cheats, because once you use it, it will say “ cheater “ at the end of each level, and you will be unable to unlock the character at the end.

One more thing, be sure to save often, after each room, a special save for each level too.
Just in case you did something wrong.
Mostly no bugs in this game, just once a door will get stuck in later levels, so be sure to save, not sure if thats a trap or a bug.

Anyways, love this game so much, love Accolade for making this, steam for selling it, Retroism, Night Dive Studios for publishing.
So finally after all these years, I can make eradicator walkthroughs for a purpose.
If you ever get stuck, feel free to go to my profile, I’ve been uploading commentary walkthrough videos for eradicator lately, WITH ALL THE SECRETS, and stuff you need to know~ Welcome to watch, instead of relying on cheats. ^_^
