Chasm: The Rift - Episode 3 (Part 2 of 2)

Chasm: The Rift is a first-person shooter released in 1997 by Action Forms and Wizardworks.

Although it has limitations as shown in it's level designs, it also has features other games haven't used yet or have yet to utilize.

Certain weapons can hack off an enemy's limbs, which is handy when the enemy in question has a ranged weapon. Each of the four bosses has a certain method of defeating, so simply shooting at them will not kill them.

E3M3 takes place in an underground area. Immediately a Werehog charges towards you, and if it's not killed in time, you'll end up dying very fast if you're playing from Rifle-only start.

E3M4 is by far, the hardest of all boss levels. One part, you're pinned against a wall and two Werehogs, and both of them must be stunned before they rip you a new one. Also, the ambush by four vikings is also not pleasant. I don't think I survived it without Invisibility or the Mega Destroyer (there's only a Laser Crossbow available in the area where the Vikings spawn).

The boss at the end of E3M4 is pathetically easy. The Phantom just hovers towards you and attacks you with vampire bats, and is weak to the light. The three crosses must be pressed to make the light appear, and then watch as the Phantom roars in pain over and over while his entrails fly out of him. Afterwards, one last chatting with Strickland before going off to the final episode.

Is this a shotgun-only game?

[TheSeriousCacodemon]

No. I made use of all weapons in the game. Besides, I don't see a shotgun only game being possible, especially since the Viking trap of the Boss level of Episode 3 is very much impossible without using other weapons.

[LordOfTheBoard83]

I've heard that chasm means the same as rift. So could this game also be named: Rift - The Chasm? Or does this sound stupid for English native speakers?
