The characters differ in three characteristics: hit points, speed, and accuracy. The player chooses between five characters: Taradino Cassatt, Thi Barrett, Lorelei Ni, Doug Wendt, and Ian Paul Freeley. Although most levels are fairly linear, there are some maps which have multiple exits. Occasionally, special tactics and simple problem-solving skills are required to reach locations. Like most early first-person shooter games, the single-player mode's objective is to collect keys in order to proceed through the levels. The idea was scrapped by id Software and Apogee Software bought the license of that game. It is powered by a modified version of the Wolfenstein 3D engine and it was supposed to be called Wolfenstein 3D II: the Rise of the Triad. It includes both single-player and multi-player functions, allowing individuals to connect with other gamers and tackle missions as a team. The game began as a follow-up game to Wolfenstein 3D, but was soon altered and became a stand-alone game. The shareware version of the game is titled Rise of the Triad: The HUNT Begins. Its remake was designed by Interceptor Entertainment and released by Apogee Games in 2013. The game's story follows these five characters who have been sent to investigate a deadly cult, and soon become aware of a deadly plot to destroy a nearby city. The player can choose one of five different characters to play as, each bearing unique attributes such as height, speed, and endurance.

Rise of the Triad: Dark War is a first-person shooter video game, developed and published by Apogee Software (now 3D Realms) in 1995.
