Nexuiz

This game is dead. The servers were taken offline in February 2013 due to the closure of THQ. Download Xonotic for free instead (it's a fork of the original): https://xonotic.org/ The original Nexuiz was developed by Alientrap and came out in 2005. It ran on the DarkPlaces engine, a modified Quake engine. It was released as free software under the GNU GPL and was available for Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows. In March 2010, the name "Nexuiz" was licensed to IllFonic for commercial use. In 2012, this remake came out. It was described as a "haphazard port" of an old mod for an old game that added little to the genre or the original concept other than charging money. This game should be de-listed from the Steam store, but since it's still being sold for $10, I am giving it a negative review.

Fast paced quake-style game with interesting elements. Cry engine 3. Gorgeus graphics. Great soundtrack. Fluid. Competitive. Varied power-ups. Potential.

[h1] Sadly, the game doesn't even run. [/h1]

It's a gorgeous game, with amazing, fast-paced gameplay, but... The devs abandoned the game, and all the players left with them. It's just a ghost town now.

ENG: If you like the original game, and usually you will fit your style of agile and entertaining first-person shooter games then this is your game! I think one of the best team throughout the first-person shooter games on Steam, I can recommend to all those, especially, who do not play TF2 game. Good game! FIN: Jos tykkää alkuperäisestä pelistä ja yleensä sinun tyyliisi kelpaa nopeatempoiset ja viihdyttävät räiskintäpelit niin tämä on sinun pelisi! Mielestäni yksi parhaista tiimi räiskintä peleistä koko steamissa, voin suositella kaikille niille varsinkin, jotka eivät pelaa TF2 -peliä. Hyvä peli!

Amazing game, really faced fast arena shooter in similar vein of unreal/quake with sci-fi setting and varied levels. The game looks good and the audio is crisp and clean, the mutators are a integral part of the game and makes the game so much fun, you chose from 3 different random options and there are plenty of those to keep it random and fun at the same time. This game was relaunched after a long time due to the old publishers (THQ) shutting down the servers as they went bankript which is a shame, the problem still with the game is that it still has optimization issues and the biggest problem of populated servers, the game literally has 8-10 people playing at during its peak while has even zero during down time which is a real shame coz this is one of those highly underrated titles that i am sure many people would love to play as we dont have many mp games in the similar genre these days.

The online game , team deathmatch and capture the flag stuff, where in the servers are now deceased for a long long time ago, and to add more into it, you need to actually pay for the game , making it one of a collection kind of game,.....Let's add more spoilers to our extremely critical review... Your game will crash the moment the you open it because it seems like the the game originally was designed to function only when the game servers were up and running.....So, it literally turns out to be one of a collection kind of a thing....No players to play with, game freeze and crash on startup, no online servers available.... However, I am still gonna recommend this game, First and foremost, there is a guide available to bypass game startup crash, that has to do some tweaks with your firewall settings,...Secondly, once that's done, though there is no way, in the present moment , in 2022, unless you travel to parallel universe where it is still 2012, you can play this game with real players,,,The bot matchmaking is equally fun and impulsive. Maps are just as awesome as it could get, power ups and dynamic mutators, giving player a certain advantage over the counter team, sexy weapons. There is a blistering joy in just playing with bots making anyone deeply regret what a diamond we have lost in a seemingly online community fed game. Provided your PC can handle it, this game is like re-modernized and remastered counter strike global offensive with same concept but except to indulge in hours and hours of bot fight. Last but not the least, to all readers, if there is a teensy bit chance to resurrect this game and bring back players, COME BACK BABY !!! I AM EAGER TO HAVE A MATCH WITH YOU !!!

I would have recommended this game 4 years ago, it was great... But now... a big NO If you buy this game, 3 games will be added on your steam library : [olist] [*] Nexuiz : It doesn't work because the game is trying to connect to a server, the server doesn't exist anymore, so there's an endless loop on the main menu, the game freezes, no button works, Ctrl + Alt + Del to close the game (and sometimes this also doesn't work). https://steamcommunity.com/app/96800/discussions/5/♥♥♥♥866180610827866/ (last comment contains a fix) [*] Nexuiz Beta : same as number 1 [*] Nexuiz STUPID mode : It's basically Nexuiz with ultra high graphic quality (80fps on my gtx1080, 2k resolution), it works but only if you play against bots, the servers are down (but no endless loop on the main menu), there are also some graphic glitches (missing lightnings...). [/olist] Conclusion : disappointing, this game was made by THQ, but since THQ doesn't exist anymore... it's dead, what a shame, this game had so much potential (also in Esport).
