Gunz The Duel

Gunz the Duel (Beta) is one of the best freeware games ever created. Be warned – if you are not a fan of ‘modern’ 3d games, especially third and first person shooters, you may want to steer clear of this. But for those of you who have embraced these types of games – this game should be right up your alley. The game is played in third person and is online multi-player only. Basically you choose a character by typing in a user name and customizing your appearance – then you choose a server. Once you enter the server and jump on to the 3d map, it is all out war with the various weapons your character type is given. The game is played in one of two modes – deathmatch and teamplay. For those who are not familiar with these terms, deathmatch is every man for himself and teamplay splits everyone into two teams – whichever team the last man standing belongs to wins.

The game has a hefty download download size of 100MB+ but considering how impressive the game is, this is not surprising – in fact it is quite small with all the features that the game contains. The graphics are pretty impressive – not ‘knock your socks off’ impressive by any means but some of the best you will see in a freeware game. It looks as if a lot of time and effort has gone into every aspect of this game. The sound is decent and by no means detracts from the game but it is not gigantically noticeable either. The music can be a little grating at times but in general it isn’t too bad.

The game play stands head and shoulders above all other aspects in the game. If this was a standard multi-player shooter, then all you would be able to do is run around the various maps and shoot your opponents but in this game there is so much more to do – you can do many cinematic type moves, such as flips off walls, dives, use your sword, get bonuses for headshots, perform combinations and climb walls. And this by all means doesn’t cover everything. The game also contains a level-up system in a lighthearted RPG-ish twist.

I was very curious about this game – I wondered how it could be such a quality game and completely free. I went to the forums that talked about this game to find out whether the final version was going to cost any money. Thankfully it is going to remain completely free to play BUT you can ‘buy’ premium items for a little bit of money – similar to Gunbound.

I really can’t recommend this game enough. It may not appeal to the most hardcore online multi-player FPS and third person shooter fans but it should appeal to many of them. Highly recommended.

Note: Please take note of the system requirements, should this game fail to work on your system.

Gunz the Duel is a free, action-packed, and a really addictive on-line game, which has a great mixture of TPS and RPG elements.

First you create your own character and choose his or her weapon combination (similar to castes like in MMORPGs), then start to play!

The gameplay is simple and addictive; collect frags by killing other players for XP and money and the best of all it's really easy to jump levels!

There are cool moves too, (like wall-run or shoot-dodge etc..) which make the game more fun. The weapons consist of guns, swords(awesome!), and throwing-type weapons. Later, if you have enough money, you can buy better weapons (like rocket launchers or mini-guns) clothes and other useful items. If you become a more skilled player you may find new game modes and maps, so you will have inspirations! Not even to mention the impressive graphic, music and maps.

To sum up, it is worth a try and if you are sucked into the world of Gunz it's really hard to get out!

I found out about Gunz the Duel about two months ago and I have been playing for a while now. Once you learn all the little tricks and movements, the game becomes really awesome. I highly suggest you go to the GUNZ forums at their website to learn the basics and advanced tricks to help you play A LOT better. Once you start killing everyone, you'll get bounty (aka $$$) to give your character better armor and weapons. To make it fair, new players and advanced players are divided into separate divisions and private/free divisions are created for players to play without limitations. This makes the game more fun, as people with the same ranking will play with others of the same rank. With many weapons to choose from and a large assortment of armor, this game should be fun for all players. In fact, this was one of the first games that got me into FPS and TPS (1st and 3rd person shooters) games.
