Another golden oldie. I played it when it came out but never finished it Sad
Recently i downloaded it again with the expansion "limb from limb" from a well known torrent site. *Kuch*

Surprisingly it worked under Windows 7. And most important it was still fun to play!

After some digging i found out that there is still an active modding community for this game.

But the best of all:

Die by the Sword: Xtended

Xtended is a modification of several parts of Die by the Sword.
It includes the following features:

- fixes several bugs that may lead to crashes on modern PCs
- new Direct3D9 graphics engine
- supports all screen resolutions (even wide-screen)
- supports Antialiasing and Anisotropic texture filtering
- Fullscreen and window mode
- loads textures in full 32bit quality (16 million colors) instead of just 8bit (256 colors)
- allows you to override textures with new ones without replacing any existing files
- the override method supports high resolution textures
- new cool pixel shader effects for lava and water
- a modmanager included in the Launcher
- press F12 in game to save a screenshot to the “screenshots” subfolder

More features like an improved scripting engine are planned for future releases.

Make sure that you have Die by the Sword and the limb from limb expansion.

You can download other mods from here:

I installed both the cusspack and the modpack.
The cusspack was an official addon by Interplay.

You can even buy the game and expansion from: http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/ for 6$.

Wel.. have fun Wink

Also multiplayer is still fun. You can play on LAN or Hamachi.
With the various mods you can have total carnage or even play a coop mission with a friend.
