Type: Game
License: GPL
Website: tremulous.net/
Operating System: windows, linux, cross-platform
Description: Tremulous is a multiplayer-only hybrid between a first person shooter and a real-time strategy game. Each match is fought between a team of humans and a team of aliens, usually with between 2-8 players per team. Humans earn cash for killing aliens and can spend that to buy better weapons, armor, and other upgrades. Humans can also grab a special build gun to create sentry guns, armories, spawn points, health stations, and more.
Aliens, however, are quite different. They use no technology, but can be very fast and some classes can run on walls and ceilings. As an alien player kills more humans, they earn points to evolve into larger and more powerful aliens. Aliens can also choose to spawn in as a builder alien, to build various alien buildings.
For the technically inclined, Tremulous is based on the now open-source Quake 3 engine, meaning that the graphics aren't on par with most modern commercial games, but they still hold their own and the game will run well on new and old computers alike.
