So first things first, guide:
http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Eradicator
At least 1 level in episode features timed puzzle where you must do certain task before repair drones fix buttons, be it switches to enable door or disable machine, memorize layout of the level and don't bother attacking them, they will drain your health faster than bosses and are immortal.
All levels are set of objectives, listen to your characters when she/he notices part of the objective/puzzle and tells about for hint how to complete it, they aren't just random babbling like in Duke Nukem clones.
Every episode needs 1 more card to unlock secret level and you can't revisit previous ones, for Ep1 there are 3, for Ep2 4 and for Ep3 5.
Press F2 for quick save and F3 for quick load, sadly other buttons seems do nothing except F11 for gamma.
Disable auto fov to prevent camera jumping randomly from third to first person and change perspective key to button that makes sense for ex. V, it makes sense especially in these PIP/remote screen sections as many weapons use that too.
FPS logic is preserved so weapon 1 is melee, 2 is pistol/razor disks, 3 is shotgun, 4 is smg, 5 is rocket, 6 is grenade the only slots are from 7 to 15 that are affected if you play different character, double tap 1 for slot 11, 2 for 12, 3 for 13, 4 for 14, 5 for 15.
Surprisingly you can slide/glide from slopes to gain speed to reach distant areas if timing is right and running is on even without straferunning also some puzzles/buttons can be reached faster than intentional if you don't destroy all barrels/ammo crates as they can be pushed to reach upper areas.
If screen is too small or aspect ratio too weird try change GOG Games\Eradicator\dosbox_windows\dosbox_eradicator.conf
fullresolution=desktop to your own resolution and change windowresolution=1280x960 to original, aspect=false also make sure to have output= always on overlay or similar, surface doesn't work well with this game also all heavier scaler like hq3x can turn some screens to small or make game sluggish even thought the graphics, hud, sprites seems to be affected and smoothed correctly.
