Red Eclipse is a multi-platform, free, and open source first-person arena shooter that runs on a somewhat modified Cube Engine 2.
The game is centred around multiplayer based action, but can also be played offline against bots.
Red Eclipse is a fun-filled new take on the casual first-person arena shooter, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward balanced gameplay, with a general theme of agility in a variety of environments.
For more information, please see our Wiki or Forums. Red Eclipse is a multiplayer first-person arena shooter with a style of play comparable Quake III
Arena or Unreal Tournament.
The lead developer claims it was intended as a subversion of common mechanics in the arena FPS subgenre.
The game’s “Impulse” and parkour systems allow the player a variety of ways to move about a level via wall-kicking, wall-running, dashing on the ground and mid-air, and double-jumping.
[2 Similarly to the weapon variables, there is also a list of environmental variables, allowing players to easily create their own unofficial modes.
Variables pertaining to physics, such as jump height or distance, movement speed, and gravity.
The project is a Free and Open Source game, built on Cube Engine 2 using SDL and OpenGL which allows it to be ported to many platforms.
