Overview
Warsow is a first-person shooter video game
first publicly released on June 8, 2005 as an alpha version. The game
is in active development. The stable version was released on July 28,
2012 after 7 years of development.
Warsow is unlike any other first person shooter game out there.
Its sheer pace is what sets it apart from the rest of its kin.
Featuring a game play that is so kinetic, so breathtakingly fast and competitive that it effectively leaves you blown away.
The game has a myriad of different weapons ranging from rail guns, rocket launchers, laserguns, conventional machine guns, plasma rifles, shot guns and grenade launchers.
Furthermore the game play is completely customisable with a plethora of different avatars and styles to choose from.
Game types include Deathmatch, Team death match, capture the flag to name a few.
Players race against the clock to annhilate each other as many times as they can to frag their way to victory.
But the real game begins once the player connects to the Warsow world server, where players from all over the internet compete ruthlessly in this already dizzyingly fast game.
The very competitive gameplay of Warsow focuses heavily on movement and trickjumps.
Many of the tricks in Warsow originate from the Quake series, including circle-jumping, bunny hopping, strafe-jumping, double jumping, ramp-sliding, and rocket jumping, but Warsow also gives players the ability to dash, dodge or wall jump

And the best part is, the game is free.
Yup.

The game is also multi platform, meaning that players on Mac OS and Linux can both enjoy this masterpiece, natively on their system, without using any sort of emulation program.
The game's system requirements are generically low, but may be tipped up as the user requires.
Players can create their own maps and customise in LAN play or in bot modes.

Soundtrack is also very engaging and highly addictive, with the music still buzzing in your head even after an hour since you logged out.
The novel is the basis of the game's cyberpunk visual style, which is achieved by combining cel-shaded cartoon-like graphics with dark, flashy and dirty textures.
Since visual clarity is important in maintaining competitive gameplay, Warsow tries to keep effects minimalistic, clear and visible.
On October 18, 2012, the game was released on GOG.com.
Warsow was submitted to Steam Greenlight on February 9, 2013,and was greenlit on September 18.
