About this game

Cold Fear Overview

Tom Hansen is just another guy in the U.S. Coast Guard when his crew receives a mysterious order to undertake a hazardous rescue mission in the teeth of a winter storm. As the waves surge higher, Tom and his crewmates find the vessel, an abandoned Russian whaling ship.

They board it, but discover that the ship has only been abandoned by human life. Something else is on board, something deadly, and soon Hansen is the only one left who can stop it.

Joining forces with the only other survivor, Hansen must battle the inhuman menace and seek out its very heart for a confrontation that could have consequences for all of humanity.

  • Brave dangerous waters: Rocked by huge breakers, you must steady your nerves and aim to evade a watery grave.
  • Keep your bearings: Battle against increasingly mutated enemies in treacherous, unstable environments.
  • Unleash a torrent of weapons: Create fatal traps and use shotguns, flamethrowers, or any object you can find to survive.

    Whenever I see a PS2-era game here, I get more hopeful that Chaos Legion will one day appear here.
