Play Forsaken Online

Summary

Forsaken drops you into a fast‑paced, 3D tunnel shooter that feels like a hybrid of Descent’s six‑degree movement and Quake’s gritty combat. You pilot a sleek craft armed with primary guns and a suite of secondary weapons—missiles, mines and more—while navigating twisting corridors that split into multiple paths depending on how well you meet mission targets. The single‑player campaign offers 22 missions across four difficulty levels, each demanding either total annihilation of enemy swarms or timed, precision‑based objectives, and Acclaim’s patch 1.00 famously softened the brutal ammo scarcity.

Multiplayer shines with six distinct modes, from classic free‑for‑all deathmatches to team‑based capture‑the‑flag and bounty hunts, supporting up to two players on the PlayStation version. The soundtrack, crafted by The Swarm, blends drum‑and‑bass with electronica, giving the frantic action an extra pulse. Critics praised the auto‑levelling and orientation aids, noting how the game refines its genre mash‑up while delivering a uniquely intense aerial combat experience.

Storyline

Forsaken takes place on a bleak, futuristic Earth in the year 2113. A catastrophic shockwave from a scientific accident has wiped out all life on the planet.

In the PlayStation (and PC) version, you assume the role of a scavenger racing against time to claim the planet’s lost treasure. The treasure is the only hope of restoring value to a world that has become a dead wasteland.

The Nintendo 64 edition flips the objective: instead of searching for the treasure, you must eliminate looters who are after it. The focus shifts from acquisition to protection through combat.
