The verdict
A faithful Nightdive remaster of the cheesy 1998 Quake 2-engine shooter, with great banter, non-linear levels and QoL fixes. Skip it if the price bothers you or you dislike janky old design.
Great for
Boomer shooter and Duke Nukem fans who enjoy cheesy 90s humor, secrets and non-linear levels
Main risk
Price feels too high for a rough, dated game with leftover bugs
What players love
Charming banter and cheesy 90s personality
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 positive reviews
“The banter between Blade and JC is amazing and so well written you can feel the characters and it is hilarious!”
