idiosyncratic collection of guns for a more classic Doom-y lineup (pistol, machine gun, shotgun, plasma rifle, etc.), but they all feel and look good, and it&apos;s the sort of above and beyond effort that would distinguish any Quake mod. The enemies consist of Quake&apos;s classic lineup, but reskinned with high-quality, more Slave Zero X-appropriate models: Death Knights become armored <em>cybercops<\/em> with riot shields, Scrags are automated drones, and the fearsome Shambler is disguised with a carapace of power armor that looks like it was smuggled out of the Fallout Enclave&apos;s dressing room.<\/p>\n<p>We&apos;re coming dangerously close to reaching peak saturation of neon &apos;80s epic cyberpunk stuff in games\u2060\u2014I never want to see that pink and teal sunset with palm trees over a grid horizon ever again\u2060\u2014but Episode Enyo benefits from its source material&apos;s grittier, grungier, <em>&apos;90s<\/em> take on the genre.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These city streets are really dirty and nasty (a perfect fit for Quake) with the requisite neon signs of Japanese characters making for a nice pop of color. Slave Zero X also has some neat bio-horror things going on, and some of the levels in Episode Enyo have these creepy, Giger-y statues and skyboxes I can really dig.<\/p>\n<p>These are also solid boomer shooter levels that encourage exploration and secret hunting, with a lot of vertically-oriented areas, switchbacks, and even a few alternate routes. I don&apos;t think there&apos;s anything in the levels with the <em>killer edge<\/em> a retro FPS needs to really stand out these days\u2060\u2014Ultrakill&apos;s vertigo-inducing set pieces or <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hrot-review\/\">Hrot<\/a>&apos;s intricate detailing and sense of humor\u2060\u2014but I enjoyed my time in them.<\/p>\n<p>Episode Enyo is a standout Quake campaign on its own, but its connection with Slave Zero X is really interesting. Having multiple games of different genres showing off the same setting helps it feel more expansive, and I always appreciate seeing things like Larian&apos;s oft-forgotten RTS, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/dragon-commander-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Divinity: Dragon Commander<\/a> or adventure game Hypnospace Outlaw&apos;s FPS spinoff, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1931020\/Slayers_X_Terminal_Aftermath_Vengance_of_the_Slayer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike those other quite good games, though, Episode Enyo&apos;s free, assuming you already own Quake. If you have Nightdive&apos;s remaster, you can just download Episode Enyo from the addons section of the main menu, but the mod will also work on the major source ports of O.G.
