Quake II

Dense, handcrafted world

A landmark sci-fi shooter: a lone marine fights through the industrial hellscape of Stroggos against a cybernetic alien army. It delivers fast gunplay, interconnected hub levels, a pounding metal soundtrack, and influential deathmatch multiplayer.

Shadow Warrior

Dense, handcrafted world

You hack and blast your way through over-the-top demon levels as Lo Wang, mixing sword slashes with an arsenal of ridiculous guns. The Build engine's multi-level rooms and sharp, irreverent humor make every stage a playful romp.

Shadow Warrior

Lots of humour

A classic 1997 Build-engine shooter where you play ninja Lo Wang, slicing and blasting through enemies with a katana, shurikens and crude, over-the-top humor. Its mix of melee and ranged weapons and twisty level design sets it apart from Duke Nukem 3D.

Doom II: Hell on Earth

Strong soundtrack

The legendary shooter classic sends you and your Super Shotgun through maze-like levels packed with demons that have overrun Earth. Blistering, relentless combat, hidden secrets and nasty new foes like the Arch-vile keep it a genre benchmark to this day.

Ion Fury

Dense, handcrafted world

A fast, 90s-style Build engine shooter with huge, twisty levels packed with secrets, explosive weapons and a wisecracking heroine in cyberpunk Neo DC. No regenerating health, just run and gun.

Redneck Rampage

Lots of humour

A crude retro Build-engine first-person shooter where you play hillbilly Leonard, blasting through Southern stereotypes, aliens and absurd locations to get Bubba home. Its over-the-top humor and redneck setting make it stand out.

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

Sci-fi setting

A classic first-person shooter where you play Turok, blasting through sprawling jungle and alien levels, hunting for keys, and wielding an outrageously brutal arsenal against dinosaurs and monsters. The remaster brings back the N64-era feel.
