Universe 51: Tannhäuser Wars is a free-to-play fast-paced multiplayer FPS, taking inspiration from games like DOOM and Quake.
Two unfamiliar groups are mysteriously teleported to the same location. Since communication between them is impossible or undesirable, they clash!
Game Modes
For now, there's a casual team deathmatch mode.
In team deathmatch, each team starts with a set number of points, called tickets. Respawning consumes tickets from your team's ticket pool. When a team reaches 0 tickets and all its members are dead, that team loses.
Note
We're currently focused on increasing the player base. Sometimes it might be difficult to find game servers, but you can always join the Discord server and look for someone to play with. We have a matchmaking channel for that exact purpose.
