Duke Nukem Forever Collection

About

The Duke Nukem Forever Collection bundles three entries in the chaotic first-person shooter series. Play through the base game where Duke, a larger-than-life action hero, battles aliens invading Earth, reclaiming his turf with guns, gadgets, and sarcastic one-liners. The single-player campaign mixes combat with light adventure elements, while multiplayer lets you duke it out in competitive modes. Two expansion packs add new levels, weapons, and a parody of pop culture references. The package leans hard into its reputation as a love-it-or-hate-it title. Its over-the-top humor and absurd set pieces stand out, though the 13-year development hell saga and mixed critical reception linger in the background. Despite divisive opinions, the series maintains a cult following, with some players praising its unapologetic style. Community sentiment remains split, MetaCritic scores reflect this tension, but long-time fans often highlight the sheer audacity of its approach.

Storyline

Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to Earth yet again, messing up Duke’s sweet routine of dirty leisure habits. The Alien invaders are stealing Earth’s women, especially the hot ones! And they drank Duke’s beer. This. Won’t. Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before his eyes. Time to bring the pain!
