Question 1

Is Unvanquished free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, entirely. Unvanquished is open-source with no purchases, cosmetics or advertising.

Question 2

What kind of game is Unvanquished?

Accepted Answer

An asymmetric FPS/RTS hybrid. Humans use projectile weapons and build a base of turrets and support structures; aliens use melee and wall-climbing and evolve into larger forms. Both sides depend on construction and resource control, not just combat.

Question 3

Is Unvanquished related to Tremulous?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unvanquished is a spiritual successor to Tremulous, keeping the asymmetric humans-versus-aliens design while running on a substantially more modern engine.

Question 4

Can I play Unvanquished alone?

Accepted Answer

Not satisfyingly. Bot support exists but is limited, and the game depends on coordinated teams on populated servers. It is a multiplayer game first and foremost.

Question 5

How many players does Unvanquished have?

Accepted Answer

The population is small — the smallest in the PlayBound catalog. Check the Unvanquished servers page for live counts before setting aside an evening for it.
