'''Strife: Quest for the Sigil''' is a hybrid first person shooter and {{wp|Role-playing game (video games)|role playing game}} built on the [[Doom engine]], created released in [[Timeline#1996|1996]] by [[Rogue Entertainment]] and published by [[Velocity Incorporated]]. Uniquely amongst Doom engine games, it contains heavy elements of plot and story within the elements throughout gameplay itself, supported by interactive characters with professional voice acting. Choices are given to the player through a [[dialogue]] system, some of which can impact the ending of the game. Among its other Other added features were [[hub]]s similar to those found in [[Hexen]], an [[Artifact|inventory]], the ability to increase the player's accuracy with most of the weapons, an item that could destroy force fields, and the ability to raise the player's maximum health from 100 to as much as 200 permanently. Strife is the very last commercial licensed game to use the Doom engine. Its [[Strife source code|source code]] was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strife_%28video_game%29#Development lost].
==Story==
Unlike most games built from the Doom engine, Strife allows for conversations with other people in the game (with voice acting for the more important ones) as well as a special "Query" key. This button lets the player know how long they have been playing Strife, as well as the current mission that has been given to the main character. There are also decisions that the player must make in order to progress through the game that changes the ending of the game. There are three such endings as a result, with only one being the "best" ending.
Strife is far more hub-like open in its maps world than Hexen, in that you can go back to nearly any of the maps you've been to before (with few exceptions). It is the most non-linear of the Doom-based games, with the possibility of doing several things out of order coupled with multiple endings.
