Outwars is a sci-fi third-person action shooter developed by SingleTrac and released for Windows PC in 1998. Set in a futuristic war against alien invaders, players assume the role of a heavily armored soldier equipped with jet-assisted movement and advanced weaponry. The game stands out for its fast-paced combat, vertical level design, and customizable loadouts that allow players to tailor their character’s weapons and abilities before each mission.
Unlike many shooters of its era, Outwars emphasizes mobility, encouraging players to fly, hover, and dodge enemy attacks in wide-open arenas. The single-player campaign features intense missions across alien landscapes, while multiplayer modes offer competitive and cooperative gameplay over LAN or online connections. Its dark sci-fi atmosphere, explosive combat, and strategic equipment management give it a distinctive identity among late-90s action titles. Though challenging, Outwars rewards skillful movement and tactical planning, making it a cult favorite among classic PC shooter fans.
