The essence of Titanfall 2 hasn’t changed even if it may be a distant memory and a fantastic shooter that somehow didn’t receive the love and attention it deserved. On the other hand, Titanfall 2’s wall-running, platform-jumping gunplay is still present along with Doom Eternal’s blistering tempo, the arena-shooter design of vintage Quake, and the frenetic score-attack modes from Neon White. I’m referring to all these fantastic first-person shooters combined into a fresh run-and-gunner that has already received “very positive” Steam user reviews. You can download Warstride Challenges for free on Steam right now to give it a try.
Like all the best FPS games, the set up in Warstride Challenges is simple. The clock is ticking. The level is filled with enemies, pitfalls, springboards, and surfaces for parkour. You need to get from one end to the other and kill everything before the time runs out.
This is the movement-driven shooter pushed to the limit. Fast, fluid, and committed exclusively to fun, Warstride also boasts a terrific metal soundtrack and a visual style that feels part Doom, part Quake, and part Cyberpunk.
Guns are hefty and varied, enemies explode into gratifying gallons of gore, and if it weren’t for the ultra-smooth performance and shimmering lighting you’d swear you were back in the ‘90s. There’s a single-player campaign, and you can also challenge friends via online races (who can kill everything and get to the end first?) and create your own maps.
With more than 150 Steam reviews, Warstride Challenges is already rated ‘very positive’ on Valve’s storefront. To celebrate the launch, it’s also available at a 25% discount, meaning you can get the whole game for $14.99 / £13.49 down from $19.99 / £17.99. And if you’re still not convinced, there’s even a free demo. Check it out here.
