The Saboteur is a third-person action-adventure game where the player assumes the role of a member of the French Resistance in Paris during World War II.
The gameplay is a mix of third-person melee and ranged combat, driving, climbing, parkour and assassinations. As the title implies, many tasks involve sabotage.
This game's released state was quite buggy, with issues preventing proper display and gameplay, including crashes relating to CPU core affinity as well as improper map display at high resolutions (above 720p). The GOG release addresses these issues, among a few others.
