Quake

Mechanics

In comparison to the original, the game mechanics of Quake remained untouched. We observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). While completing missions, we wander through various locations and face hordes of enemies. Authors give us eight types of weapons, among which we can find an axe, machine gun or rocket launcher. During fast-paced shootouts we have to be constantly on the move; wounds sustained on the battlefield are healed with the help of first aid kits scattered around the levels.

The pillar of this game is the story campaign, which is made up of missions set in four dimensions. During the game we visit military bases, medieval castles, gloomy dungeons and gothic cathedrals. Moreover, in the Dimension of the Machine we find ourselves in a labyrinth, where a steel and lava core is hidden. Our task is to find it and open a portal, which will lead us straight into the arms of yet another danger threatening humanity.

Game modes

We can complete the Quake game's story campaign alone or in co-op mode for up to four players. In addition, there is a multiplayer mode waiting to be tested here, where up to four people can fight in split-screen, and eight over the Internet.

Technical aspects

In comparison to the original, Quake stands out thanks to slightly refreshed graphics. The game was adapted to the specifics of widescreen displays and runs in 4K resolution. In addition, models have been improved, lighting has been tweaked, and anti-aliasing and depth of field have been added.
