Sci-Fi

Sci-Fi themed games are games that are characteristic of science fiction literature; the narrative is dependent on the impact of scientific discoveries that do not yet exist in reality. Some games, such as those in the Half-Life series and Unreal series take place in a sci-fi universe that was created specifically for the purpose of the games. Others may take place in existing sci-fi universes, such as licensed Star Wars games. Common elements of sci-fi themed games include futuristic settings, high-tech items and weapons, and alien characters.

Step into Neo's shoes in this spin-off based on the popular film series.

Unreal

Unreal is a first-person shooter video game developed by Epic MegaGames and Digital Extremes and published by GT Interactive (now owned by Atari) in May 1998. It was powered by an original gameplay and computer engine that now bears the game's name, one that had been in development for over three years in founder Tim Sweeney's garage before the game was released.

Since the release of Unreal, the franchise has had one sequel and two different series based on the Unreal universe. One official bonus pack, the Epic-released Fusion Map Pack, can be downloaded free of charge.

Elite Starfighter

Elite Starfighter is a remake of the classic Elite. Except for technical aspects, it stays very close to the original, meaning there are no missions and no multiplayer. The game focuses on the exploration of about 2000 star systems.

Earth 2160

Earth 2160 follows the progress of the factions, the United Civilized States, the Eurasian Dynasty and the Lunar Corporation, who, after escaping the doomed Earth, headed for Mars. After a time of relative peace and recovery, the factions once again come to blows, with a fourth faction of extraterrestrial nature, named the Morphidians, coming into play. Just a few thousand humans were specifically chosen for the evacuation of Earth, and as such manpower and resources are limited.

Star Wolves

Star Wolves is a real-time, futuristic video game developed by Russian video game developer X-bow Software combining role-playing and real-time tactics gameplay. The game features a mix of role-playing and tactical elements, and is centered around controlling a mothership and small armada of ships in real-time using the mouse in a manner very similar to Homeworld. Ships are piloted by characters whose skills advance as the game progresses.

X2: The Threat

X2: The Threat is a simulator based on Space trading and combat that is set in a fictional X-Universe. The game features over 50 different flyable ships, with a well told single player story.

Kill.Switch

As a relatively straightforward third-person shooter, the most distinguishing characteristic of Kill Switch is its cover system, a mechanic that has the player character taking cover behind objects and around corners in a manner similar to Namco's own Time Crisis series of light gun shooters as well as Koei's third-person shooter WinBack and Konami's stealth game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. However, Kill Switch was the first third-person shooter to feature the cover system as its core game mechanic, and introduced the blind fire mechanic to the cover system.
