About

Halo Zero is a sidescrolling shooter built by fans for fans of the sci-fi franchise. Play as a squad member fighting through levels packed with Covenant enemies and familiar firepower. The single-player campaign leans into tight platforming and bullet-hell action. Each stage feels like a love letter to the series with its own chaotic energy. The game runs free and has held up well since 2005 with a 72% on Metacritic. Its retro presentation and challenging level design stand out, especially for older Halo players craving a throwback vibe. Multiplayer modes let you team up or battle friends in co-op and versus fights. The map selection and weapon variety keep matches lively even after years.
