Tremulous is a free Sci-Fi multiplayer First-Person Shooter/Real-Time Strategy hybrid game. It's a mix of team-base gameplay plus with RTS elements. Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like a RTS game. These structures provide many functions, the most important being "spawning". The designated builders must ensure there are spawn structures or other players will not be able to rejoin the game after death. Other structures provide automated base defense (to some degree), healing functions and much more...

Player advancement is different depending on which team you are on. As a Human, players are rewarded with credits for each Alien kill. These credits may be used to purchase new weapons and upgrades from the "Armoury". The Alien team advances quite differently. Upon killing a Human foe, the alien is able to evolve into a new class. The more kills gained the more powerful the classes available.

The overall objective behind Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team. This is achieved by not only killing the opposing players but also removing their ability to respawn by destroying their spawn structures.


PROS:
+ Unique gameplay
+ Some really nice maps

CONS:
- EPIC learning curve
- Unbalanced factions
- Lots of mediocre maps
- Only one game mode
- Poor community
- Mods destroy vanilla gameplay
- Very similar to other games in genre
- Questionable sounds...
