Forsaken

About

Forsaken is a 1998 sci-fi first-person shooter from Probe Entertainment and Acclaim. It casts players as soldiers battling alien threats across ruined space stations and dystopian cities. Gameplay combines fast gunplay with base-building elements requiring players to manage ammo repair equipment and upgrade weapons. Single-player campaigns emphasize stealth and strategy while competitive multiplayer and split-screen modes support 2-4 players in chaotic arena brawls. The split-screen multiplayer was a standout feature at release offering co-op and versus modes before online play became standard. Community archives note it as one of the few 90s shooters with meaningful base defense mechanics. While not widely remembered its mix of action and simulation elements has led to occasional resurgences in retro gaming circles.
