Description

When it became trapped in the gravity well of an undiscovered planet due to an accidental course shift, the prison transport ship Vortex Rikers was en route to a penal moon colony. Those who survive the crash landing discover a new world that is full of unique beauty but also numerous perils. Not many people on board survive the crash landing. Not only is it home to numerous deadly species of flora and fauna, but it is also the stage for a war between the vicious Skaarj and the docile locals, the Nali, whom the Skaarj have enslaved. The player assumes the role of one of the prisoners who managed to survive the crash of the Rikers and is tasked with escaping the wreckage of the ship, navigating through Nali villages and temples, Skaarj mines and refineries, other crashed ships, and many other locations in order to reach the end goal of the game, which is to find a way off the planet.

First-person shooter is the gameplay style of Unreal. The majority of its history is conveyed through brief text messages, which are deciphered with the assistance of a translator using personal journals, books, signs, and computer stations. The game's armory consists of ten different weaponry, each of which has two different firing modes. In addition to standard pistols, rocket/grenade launchers, miniguns, and sniper rifles, there are also items such as the Bio Rifle, which fires blobs of toxic waste that stick to walls and enemies, the Flak Cannon, which sprays deadly shrapnel, and the Razorjack, which fires spinning blades that ricochet off walls. All of these weapons have unique abilities and can be used in unique ways. The secondary firing mode may make it possible to fire a shot with a charge, may need a trade-off between accuracy and speed, or may even make it possible to direct the projectile.

There is also an option for playing against other people. There are ten different deathmatch maps that can be played in free-for-all, team deathmatch, or a variation known as "King of the Hill." DarkMatch is a unique mode that only supports one of the unique maps in the game. When playing DarkMatch, the playing field is completely dark, and the only way for players to see anything is by using a searchlight. Both the deathmatch and team deathmatch modes can be played against computer-controlled opponents, and the single-player campaign can also be played in a co-op mode.

Unreal is the name of both the game and the game engine that was developed by the company. Unreal's game engine includes features such as colorful lighting, curved surfaces, reflective surfaces, "detail" textures (by multi-texturing), and real time interactive mixed digital music.
