About:
Warsow is a fast-paced, cross-platform multiplayer first-person shooter built on the Q2 engine. It features unique movement mechanics like dashing and wall-jumping, combined with stylized cel-shaded graphics. The game is free and open-source, focusing on competitive gameplay with modes like Capture the Flag and Duel.
Key Features:
  • High-speed movement with dash, wall-jump, and bunny-hopping mechanics
  • Stylized cel-shaded graphics and non-realistic art style
  • Completely free and open-source under GPL license
  • Built-in server browser and support for custom mods/maps
Use Cases:
  • Competitive online multiplayer FPS gaming
  • Hosting private servers for community matches
  • Custom game mode creation and modding
Alternatives:
  • Quake Live – Similar arena shooter mechanics but paid and less movement-focused
  • Xonotic – Comparable open-source FPS with slightly different movement physics
  • Unreal Tournament – More polished AAA arena shooter but with higher system requirements
