Take the role of Duke Nukem in a first-person shooter about fighting an alien invasion. The campaign sends Duke through a series of episodes and locations, with the story serving as a backdrop for the action.
Move through maze-like levels, shoot enemies with a varied arsenal, and search for keycards that open new routes. Levels also hide secrets and interactive objects; jumping, crouching, swimming, and flying help you explore.
This edition includes four earlier episodes and the new Alien World Order episode, which adds locations, enemies, and the Incinerator weapon. Optional rendering changes, a rewind feature, developer commentary, and multiplayer modes are also included.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its brisk classic-shooter combat, varied weapons, and levels that reward exploration with secrets and interactive details. Duke’s personality, the music, and the new Alien World Order episode also draw positive comments. Reactions to this edition are mixed: recurring complaints focus on mouse controls and other port problems, missing expansions from an earlier release, and the value of the package at full price.
