Cursed Land for Steam & GOG
Cursed Land Full Version 11 commentsUpdate: 27/05/2023 - Now works with Major Update #1
Chasm: The Rift (also known as Chasm: The Shadow Zone) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Action Forms and published in 1997 by GT Interactive Software, WizardWorks, and Megamedia Corp. Action Forms would later develop the Carnivores series. The game was meant to compete with Quake a year earlier, since GT Interactive lost publishing rights to Activision when id Software signed with the latter.
The player takes on the role of an unnamed Marine whose mission is to stop the so-called "Timestrikers", mutant beings invading different time epochs, from taking over Earth. On this mission, he visits various locations ranging from military bases in the present to Pharaonic tombs in ancient Egypt. All of the levels involve dark corridors, often like that of catacombs and crypts.
One of the most notable features of the game was the ability to remove limbs from enemies.

I don't know what the big deal is really, sure the dismemberment was cool but the gameplay isn't that entertaining. I replayed it again with the remaster and yep, still as bland as ever.
[Chasm: The Rift - Remaster] - [Grim Borough] - [4K60ᶠᵖˢ]! Custom User Episode with 3 Maps!
[Chasm: The Rift - Remaster] - [Offical Addon] - [4K60ᶠᵖˢ]! Complete 3 Maps!
Here I have prepared the complete playlist of my videos of the game [Chasm: the Rift - Remaster] for all those who are interested. Everything in [4K60ᶠᵖˢ] and blind play including all digital deaths.
Welp it finally happened. Chasm the rift was finally brought back in remastered form for Steam and GOG. And it's a pretty great re-release. Chasm now looks and plays better than it ever has. It runs silky smooth and comes with some other improvements like some new lighting and some remastered sounds and improved gore. Gibbing was always good in Chasm, but now it's the best it ever has been. Chasms game play still holds up well, and it plays just as good as Quake does, the game it's always compared to despite the fact Chasm did not come out the same time as Quake, but it came out after Quake 2 a game it really had no chance of outshining.
With the re-release, you get to see just how well Chasms visuals hold up. For a 1997 game, there is quite a lot of decent texture detail in its levels, and the models all look very good for their time and are well animated. Chasm also has quite a creepy and unsettling atmosphere at times. The only real disappointment I have with the Chasm remaster is there was no real new content here. You get the bonus levels packaged in that were released way back when for the original game, and as a nice bonus you get the original DOS version of the game. But sadly, no new levels were added here.
The Quake remaster from Night dive had some great new levels included, and it would have been great if Chasm had the same. But it's not all bad because Chasm has some great mod map packs and one of the best has been made to be playable with the new remaster and that is cursed land, and you can find that here on Moddb. It's a very well-made bunch of maps that fit in very well with the base game, and it's very easy to set up. So download that, and you have 4 new large maps that can be included for the new Chasm. It would have been nice for some more graphical tweaks like you get with the Turok remasters and the Quake remaster, but I'm not even sure if that stuff was possible for Chasm. It's still great to have Chasm in its most playable state, and now more people can play it also. A huge win.
A underrated fps classic that is screaming out for a decent remaster. For its time Chasm had some impressive features especially for such a small budget game.
It has pretty great visuals. The engine uses fully 3d models while the environments are 2.5d. So this meant the game could run pretty good on less powerful pcs back in the day when compared to Quake and then its sequel the even more advanced Quake 2.
It also meant the 3d models could be pretty detailed the enemies look really good and are well animated. You can even shoot off enemies body parts. Its a very simple game and has its own unique charm and is a good example of classic 90s fps games.
It was developed by the same team who would create the more popular Carnivores series. Chasm and Carnivores even share some assets.
If anyone would create a mod that mixes Carnivores with Chasm that would be pretty freaking great. Chasm and Carnivores sharing the same universe could be really interesting. Chasm is not a masterpiece but it is a lost gem and really deserves more attention.
Bought a Doom 1 game,and Chasm was the other CD in the double case. For it's time,Chasm was a good atmospheric game to play.Although my experience in playing vid games was relatively new at that time.
Some dude is making another source port, pretty good progress so far:
Github.com
Doomworld.com
I remember there was a reverse-engineered source port last updated 3 years ago
Github.com
Whoever thought that was an acceptable game summary needs to be burned alive.
