Soldat is a fast paced 2d shooter. Don't let the lack of a third dimension get to you, because it's an action packed game drawing on the roots of many popular titles. Weapons are chosen in a Counter-Strike style, and range from modern automatics to sniper rifles. The landscapes and game style are vaguely Worms like, except everything is guns blazing real time instead of turn based. Soldat delivers in game play by packing five game modes from capture the flag to team death match. Maps can be created with the editor and new weapons and graphics can also be made along with interface changes.
Even tho I can't play this game on Desura (information gathering error of some kind), I know it for a long time.
A mix of CS and Worms, quite epic even in the free version, the AI ranges from stupid to hardcore, and makes local games a veritable option.
