History VideoGame / Nexuiz

''Nexuiz'' is a multiplatform FirstPersonShooter developed and published by Creator/AlientrapGames. It uses the [=DarkPlaces=] MediaNotes/GameEngine, which is, in turn, based on the (heavily modified) [[VideoGame/QuakeI Quake]] engine.

The game is a straightforward fast-paced multiplayer-oriented FPS. You're placed in an arena with other combatants, and the objective is to lead, via firepower, yourself or your team to victory. The game contains AI players for offline play except in a few selected modes.

The game includes 13 weapons, 36 official maps and 11 gamemodes, plus a huge plethora of other [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent community-made maps]]. Nexuiz makes generous use of graphic effects, but in the gameplay part is more of a mixture between ''VideoGame/{{Quake|I}}'' and ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament''. It's also primarily multiplayer, although it has a nice tutorial and SP mode with some [[ThatOneLevel challenging missions]].

The first version of the game came in 2005; it later received a 2012 remake developed by Creator/IllFonic and published by Creator/{{THQ}} for UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 (later released on -and pulled from- UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}). Due to the conflicts which emerged by the sole existence of this version, the community fled on to create a SpiritualSuccessor called ''VideoGame/{{Xonotic}}''.

The first version of the game came in 2004; its developers would later form Creator/IllFonicGames, a company which later [[InNameOnly took the name]] and created [[VideoGame/NexuizPS3 a whole new, unrelated game]] for UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 (later released on -and pulled out from- UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}). Due to the conflicts which emerged by the sole existence of this version, the community fled on to create a SpiritualSuccessor called ''VideoGame/{{Xonotic}}''.

The game can be downloaded from [[http://www.alientrap.org/games/nexuiz here]] (version 2.5.2). There's also a separate, officially sanctioned mappack comprised of several maps made for other games, but ported and adapted to this game, and which can also be downloaded [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexuiz/files/mappack/nexmappack_r2/nexmappack_r2.zip/download here]].

!!Nexuiz shows examples of:

* AWinnerIsYou: The campaigns have no ending and are just preparations so you can actually [[CompetitiveMultiplayer go into servers to play against others]].

* CoolStarship: The map Bleach takes place into one.

** For once, VideoGameFlamethrowersSuck trope is subverted, as the game's version throws a fireball to the ground which hurts at proximity, dealing a lot of damage. Needless to say, you can burn yourself with it, but if you know where to place it, you can deal a ton of damage.

** The Electro combo. Getting to shoot those balls in the middle of a match can be quite the challenge, let alone get the enmies to step into them as they are one of the game's equivalents to mines. That said, at the right position, you can deal a lot of damage with them.
