Released in 1996 by Rogue Entertainment, ''Strife'' is the last commercial game to use Creator/IdSoftware's ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' UsefulNotes/GameEngine (now officially known as ''id Tech 1''). It featured [[HubLevel hub-based levels]] and small RPGElements such as {{cutscene}}s, {{Dialogue Tree}}s, shops, a rudimentary [[CharacterLevel leveling system]] and an actual, relevant plot. Unfortunately it never received much attention or commercial success due to it using a more "primitive" engine compared to what was out at the time, and it was overshadowed by [[VideoGame/QuakeI id's latest technology-advancing game]] that was slated to be released a month later. Despite this, it was [[VindicatedByHistory eventually rediscovered]] by fans of 90's shooters and became something of a CultClassic.
''Strife'' was considered {{abandonware}} for a long time due to Rogue Entertainment no longer existing, and the game can be played on modern operating systems with ''Doom'' source ports such as [=ZDoom=]. At the tail end of 2014, Creator/NightdiveStudios acquired publishing rights for the game, and on December 12, 2014, the game was re-released via UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} as ''[[http://store.steampowered.com/app/317040/ Strife: Veteran Edition]]'' for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux-based [=PCs=]. This updated version of the game features many new enhancements such as high resolution modes and widescreen support, [=OpenGL=] rendering capabilities, dynamic lighting and bloom, rebindable keys, and restores lost features of the original game.

** While you do have allies, The Front's soldiers are only about as competent as The Order's. Which is about as competent as a Doom zombie soldier. In other words, not very.
** The otherwise fearsome Inquisitors have a quirk in their AI that can make short work of them: If you are on a ledge above them, when trying to fly up to reach you they tend to repeatedly ''almost'' get up to you, then suddenly drop lower and fly back up only to fall again. You can often abuse this with Mauler shots at the top of this see-saw motion.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: How the game handles stealth kills has some interesting results. Whether a kill alerts others seems to be based purely on two factors: 1) if the weapon you used is loud, and 2) if the target lives long enough to react to your attack. A third person witnessing the event does not appear to matter. You can kill a guard with a poison bolt or an insta-gib punch, and their buddy looking right at you does not react. Then there are instances in the game where robotic enemies will attack you on sight while human enemies are still in an unalerted state, which nullifies condition 2. You can run all over wrecking robots with fisticuffs and again the guards pay no heed.

* BatDeduction: If you take the long path to get the GoldenEnding, you are sent at one point to shut down some factory where people are turned into Order cyborgs. At one point, [[spoiler:Blackbird figures out Macil was behind sending all the factory victims to their deaths and he is actually a villain]]. How she came to this conclusion is anything but clear.

** The guard outside the Sanctuary's front door will strongly object if you try to get in that way, but won't bat an eyelid if you ''come out'' of that door. He will also ignore you if you head towards the Sanctuary's river entrance, barely five metres away (fortunately for the plot).
