History VideoGame / Nexuiz

'''Nexuiz''' is a multiplatform FirstPersonShooter developed and published by Creator/AlientrapGames. It uses the Darkplaces GameEngine, which is, in turn, based on the (heavily modified) [[VideoGame/QuakeI idTech1]] engine.

* LastManStanding: The eponymous gametype.

* XMeetsY: Ever wondered how could look an offspring between ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Unreal}}''? This game is the answer.

* GrenadeLauncher: The Mortar. It can launch flak shells or bouncing grenades which explode on impact.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In a rare "same game" version. The Rocket Arena mutator gives everyone the Rocket Launcher. The Laser Guided Rockets switches your RL buttons. While in all-weapons you keep pressed the primary fire button in order to guide your rocket, and use the altfire to explode the rocket midair, the inverse happens in this combination of settings, where you use the altfire to turn on/off the guding laser and press primary fire to explode the rocket midair. This is particularly jarring in [[YMMV/{{Nexuiz}} Level 17 from the 2.0 ladder (Stormkeep)]]. [[invoked]]

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Final Rage is a castle with several areas full of lava. Stormkeep and Stormkeep 2 as well qualify. There's also Fuse.

* LethalLavaLand: Final Rage is a castle with several areas full of lava.

* AlternateFire: All of the weapons implement this.

* BeatingADeadPlayer: Players can be [[LudicrousGibs gibbed]] once dead, as per multiplayer arcade FPS standard.

* GottaCatchEmAll: The Key Hunt gametype involves collectimg all of the other teams' keys in order to score points.

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 to this game, and which can also be downloaded [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexuiz/files/mappack/nexmappack_r2/nexmappack_r2.zip/download here]].

* LightningGun: The eponymous weapon.

* SniperRifle: The Nex, whose shots can even [[MagneticWeapons pass through walls]]. There's also an Instagib-specific weapon, the Minstanex. And the classic Sniper Rifle is there as well.

* GrapplingHookPistol: The Grappling Hook.

* IndustrialArea: Many of the maps, such as Aneurysm, Diesel Power, The Slimepit, Slimepit Revisited and Ruiner.

* NoOSHACompliance: Several levels are set in industrial areas with hazards such as lava (the Tutorial level!) or [[HollywoodAcid slime]] (Toxic).

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: A handful of levels are platforms (Soylent) or set at open space (Starship), yet the characters don't wear any space suit.

* CaptureTheFlag: The eponymous gametype.

* CriticalExistenceFailure:

* CutAndPasteEnvironments: The all-common Aggressor map, already present in other games such as ''VideoGame/OpenArena'', is also present in this game.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The Shotgun. The Crylink is a slower but more damager Shotgun, and the projectiles can go through walls.

* LevelEditor: The swiss-army editor NetRadiant can be used in order to create levels for the game. It even comes with a Nexuiz gamepack.

*** There's the DM6 (Dark Zone) map. Justified in that it's based on the ''Quake'' map sources released under GPL in 2006.

* RegeneratingHealth: A rare example of an Arcade FPS implementing this. Should your health be below 100, the less health you have, the quicker it regenerates, until it reaches 80 or more, in whose case it recovers slowly.

** Several to the VideoGame/{{Unreal}} universe:

** The Hagar is basically a projectile version of ''VideoGame/QuakeIIIArena''[='=]s Plasma Gun.

'''Nexuiz''' is a FirstPersonShooter developed and published by Creator/AlientrapGames. It uses the Darkplaces GameEngine, which is, in turn, based on the (heavily modified) [[VideoGame/QuakeI idTech1]] engine.

The game includes 13 weapons and 24 official maps, 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'' and ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament''. It's also primarily multiplayer, although it has a nice tutorial and SP mode with some [[ThatOneLevel challenging missions]].
