My favourite shooter

10

Red Eclipse is a truly great arena shooter. It is a real innovator in the space and innovates the right way. I think it is now my favourite FPS of all time, and I've played more of RE now that even Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - that is, hundreds of hours.

It's a seriously awesome game, with lots of gametypes, many many high quality maps (thanks to the Cube Engine's ease of use in mapping), and a small but great community. You can't go wrong with Red Eclipse if you like arena shooters. Even if you don't, RE discards many tropes of arena shooters and plays like no arena shooter you have played before.

It is definitely worth checking out and I'm sure you will enjoy it at least as much as I have (and I'm a tough customer), if not more so! So try Red Eclipse today! You definitely can't beat the price. ;)

Smooth Movement, simple gameplay. I like it, not hard core.

Yeah, I've added the game

Yeah, I've added the game just at the moment it was forked, so there were no original RE screens at that moment. Thanks for reminding, I'll update the media soon.
