The grapics are horrible it like like it was made in the 90s and unfinished, the sound

was terrible, the level designs are confusing the guns are so weak that a knife is the

most powerful weapon.

The thing about this game is that the graphics look about 15 years old, the gameplay is incredibly antiquated and the sound was so crappy that I turned it off, yet somehow, I played the game the whole way through. And I don't mean in a, I did it all in one sitting because it's really short, but in multiple sesions. It's sort of Doom 2 meets Star Wars Dark Forces 2 (graphics wise) with a Mysogynistic spin. It's OK at best.

Operation Matriarchy is one of the games that just deserve better. The game has a great scenery (heavily inspired by H.R. Giger), whack enemies and is a overall joyfully sick experience. And you can feel the ambition and blood of the developers.

Unfortunately this games was rushed out and is close to unplayable without the fan-made patch, that is out there on the net.
 But if you take your time to apply it, you will be rewarded with a worthwhile old-school-FPS experience. The level are quite linear with really less exploring, but the pacing is right. The animation are somehow puppet-like, fitting great into the setting of "Aliens controlling or reconfiguring human bodies" along with the old-school AI - that is nearly none. I guess this is rather unintentionally, though but can be quite scary in fact. Or funny, depending on your mood. Also if you have a thing for eastern european game design the Matriarchy can be interesting.

Enjoying this game a fair bit. It's got some problems. Apparently there is a big patch out there (fan-made) that adds music and evens out the SFX. I was already a ways in before I found this out, so I never bothered with the patch. The audio problems didn't bother me too much.

Decent level design, with some cool set-piece design in places. Oh sure, it won't hold up against modern games, but it does have heart. Retro-shooter fans should give it a shot, and apply the patch.

I really wanted to enjoy this game but sadly, it didn't deliver what I expected. First off, gameplay is bland and uninspired. Take a basic sci-fi shooter, rip-off everything that could make it fun and original and voila, you get Operation Matriarchy. Levels are straight-forward and enemies are so dumb that they'll plain run in group right to your gun for you to mow them down. There's no video and almost no cut-scenes, so the story is delivered by small snippets of text at the loading of a level. Sound is an absolute mess; gun sounds are muffled and annoying plus there no soundtrack so no in-game music. Environmental sounds are badly done and what to say about the grunts and cries that your enemies emits – plain awful. Graphics are ho-hum; most levels are dull and all the characters (humans and enemies alike) suffers from an excessive shiny skin syndrome ( they must love to take care of their skin condition...go figure ;p ). Honestly, the overall product gives me the feeling that I bought an alpha/tech-demo of some low-end engine. To conclude, probably one of the worst FSP I've played in the last year and a experience most sane gamers should steer clear from, looks like I need to consult!
