About this game

Forsaken is a first-person shoot ’em up built around unrestricted movement in three dimensions. Players accelerate, swerve, and strafe a craft through environments inspired by the free-flight combat of Descent.

Each level has a designated exit that must be reached within a tight time limit. Collapsing surroundings, spikes, and turbine fans create additional hazards, while enemy craft adapt their approach based on your weaponry and previous encounters.

Released on April 30, 1998, Forsaken was developed by Probe and published by Acclaim for PC, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn.
