Developer Mode and Other Cheats for Crysis

Crysis is an open ended first-person shooter set in a fictional future, on an island near the Philippines where an ancient alien spaceship has been discovered. Players take on the role of a Delta Force operative called Jake Dunn or Nomad, who has been equipped with a military Nano suit and sent to investigate. Fighting against the Korean People’s Army, the player has a wide range of weaponry at their disposal, and there are several vehicles in the game. The single player features an involved plot and tactical game-play, and the AI enemies display a range of interesting and challenging behavior.

This was developed by Far Cry creators, Crytek and as you’d expect it is visually stunning. The gameplay is varied and allows for a range of approaches in order to progress. There is also a multiplayer mode which allows up to 32 players to face off in battle. It is a fairly challenging game, so you might be interested in employing some tweaks and cheats to help you finish it. You may also want to check out our Crysis review.
