Mutators can help teams by adding jetpacks, infinite ammo, giving all weapons damage, etc., but there is an equal chance the mutator can be nothing more than fluff that gives the edge to other side such as turning the game into a monochrome color sceme or changing the view to a third-person shooter mid-match. Players can earn different mutators from picking them up on the ground, going on killing sprees or even capping flags. There is a warp one-hit kill that seems to have no specific range, and you can get killed it by at any time. Melee, believe it or not, is a great source of frustration if you are on the receiving end of it. The weapons are exactly as you would expect from a shooter like this: the standard shotguns, sniper rifles, pistols, rocket launchers and more. There are only nine maps included in the game, and the community seems to already have their favorites as the same couple maps gets voted on every time. Focusing on smaller maps, the action can be fast and hectic throughout the match. Nexuiz allows up to 8 players to battle it out online in the standard Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag game modes.
Besides some tidbits on the loading screens, there is no mention of the story once you get into the game because it simply doesn’t matter. It’s a very weak one, but if you take the time to watch the intro movie you will learn there are two ancient species that do battle for the sake of entertainment in memory of the historical battles that were fought between the two. Being an online centric game, this arena shooter will live or die based on the online community.īelieve it or not, there is a story in Nexuiz. Nexuiz is in every way a classic twitch-based arena shooter, which may be an issue for those players today obsessed with the relatively slower gameplay of modern day shooters. If Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena made sweet, gory love, the resulting baby would be Nexuiz.
