The highly anticipated release of Warsow 0.5 is released. A little background information for those who don’t know what this fast-paced action game is. Btw, It is free!
Set in a futuristic cartoon-like world where rocketlauncher-wielding pigs and lasergun-carrying cyberpunks roam the streets, Warsow is a completely free fast-paced first-person shooter (FPS) for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Speed and movement, that’s what Warsow is all about. Like a true cyberathlete you jump, dash, dodge and walljump your way through the game. Grab those power-ups before your enemy does, plant the bomb before anyone sees you, and steal the enemy’s flag before anyone knows what’s going on!
A handful of popular gametypes come shipped with Warsow, like Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Clan Arena, Instagib and Duel. Warsow invites you to add to this list, by creating your own custom gametypes with the brand new gametype scripting system!
Essentially its a fast-paced shooter with inspiration from Quake 3 pro mods and such. Aimed for the elite crowd with precise timing and accuracy, Warsow brings a lot of the old-school tricks (strafe jumping, double jumping, bunny hopping), but features its own unique set of moves such as walljump, dash, dodge, ramp slide and double dash jump.
What I especially like from this game is the cel-shaded aesthetic, it just looks right, not too cartoony but a little more on the serious side. In a way it kind of reminds me of Borderlands. Check out the official Warsow 0.5 trailer below.
