Tremulous is a freeware first person action game based on the ioquake3 game engine. It originated as a mod for Quake 3, but eventually went standalone. The game is presumably set in the future, where humans face off against spider-like aliens.
Humans
Weapons
- Blaster: The blaster is the secondary weapon. It has unlimited ammunition, but it is very weak, and fires very slowly.
- Rifle: The weapon you spawn with. It fires normal bullets.
- Pain Saw: Close-range saw, does lots of damage.
- Shotgun: Good damage, fires slowly.
- Lasgun: Fires laser particles of some sort. Do more damage than the rifle, and it has a broader spread. Good for little aliens.
- Mass Driver: The equivalent of a railgun, can one-shot small aliens.
- Chaingun: A mini-gun with pretty good damage, and has some recoil.
- Pulse Rifle: Another laser gun, the bullets are slow, but have pretty good damage
- Flamethrower: Spouts flames, does a lot of damage but it is very easy to burn yourself and teammates.
- Lucifer Cannon: Fires big spheres that, when charged, can one shot all aliens except the biggest class.
