FireStarter is a fast-paced first-person shooter released in 2004, developed by GSC Game World. Set inside a virtual reality system that has spiraled out of control, the game places players in a digital world filled with aggressive monsters and deadly traps. You play as a gamer trapped inside a malfunctioning simulation where survival depends on reflexes, strategy, and constant movement.
The game blends classic arcade-style shooting with light RPG mechanics. Each level takes place in stylized environments such as shopping malls, castles, and space stations, all reimagined as deadly arenas. Players must eliminate waves of enemies to unlock portals to the next stage. Between levels, you can upgrade abilities like speed, armor, and weapon efficiency, adding a layer of customization to the intense combat.
With its dynamic enemy spawns and emphasis on mobility, FireStarter rewards aggressive play. The graphics, powered by an enhanced engine, deliver detailed environments and impressive lighting effects for its time. Its energetic gameplay and upgrade system make it a memorable title for fans of early 2000s shooters.
