Rend

Rend is a love-letter to old-school arena shooters like Doom II, Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament. It brings back the time where shooters were just fun, pure skill combined with map knowledge. There are no progression systems, no battle passes, no BS.

The game evolves on the engine of Wolfenstein 3D with Pico-8 aesthetics and a very approachable level editor, so you can unleash your inner level designer!

Features:

• Up to 4-players LAN multiplayer (with bots)
• Deathmatch and Single-flag CTF
• Built-in level editor (maps are shared automatically from the host machine)

Controls:

• WASD - movement
• QE - cycle weapons
• Space / LMB - shoot
• Tab / RMB - combo weapon swap
• Xbox gamepads (and Xinput-compatible gamepads) should work
