  • Awesome mix of real time and turn based action
  • 20 unique weapons
  • Arbitrary number of characters per team
  • Hotseat play with an arbitrary count of players
  • Also network play, even mixed with hotseat play
  • 25 different spritesets to choose your character from
  • Masses of particles, which are also influenced by gravity
  • An action point based system to use stronger or more weapons per turn
  • Different randomly dropped items to spice things up

XEvil is a free software platform arena game first released by Steve Hardt at M.I.T on July 26, 1994 over the Project Athena network. Structured as a free-for-all deathmatch between a wide variety of characters with differing traits and abilities, players are pitted against each other or computer controlled bots. Described as "one of the most graphically violent games ever made", the game's website features a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer over its potential offensiveness; the premise has players compete for their rank in hell. Originally developed for Unix systems using the X Windows System, it was later ported to Microsoft Windows systems using DirectX featuring sounds and music. Both versions were released under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later on January 18, 2000. Version 1.5.5 was included on the 100 Great Linux Games and version 1.0.0 on the Linux Cubed Series 8 LINUX Games shovelware collections. Versions were also included on Linux Games++ and the Red Hat Powertools.
