Enjoy Playing Raze

Have you ever jumped into a game where the action never seems to let up? That’s Raze for you—an old-school, side-scrolling shooter that pits humanity against all sorts of alien invaders. Right from the get-go, you’re thrown into frantic firefights, ducking behind cover, swapping weapons on the fly, and trying not to let the enemy overwhelm your squad. The controls are simple enough to pick up in seconds, but mastering the art of strafing and timed explosions? That’s where things really get satisfying.

One of the coolest parts of Raze is the massive arsenal at your disposal. You start with the basics—a trusty pistol and maybe a grenade or two—but pretty soon you’re unlocking shotguns, sniper rifles, railguns, even paintball blasters if you’re in the mood for something a little sillier. There’s a neat progression system, too, so you collect XP and credits as you battle it out, letting you customize your loadout and deck out your character with hats and costumes that run the spectrum from the totally ridiculous to the downright menacing.

It’s not just a single-player grind, either. Raze shines when you’re competing or teaming up with friends in multiplayer matches. Whether you’re going head-to-head in free-for-all deathmatches, coordinating tactics in team battles, or tackling cooperative survival waves, there’s always a fresh way to test your skills. The online community has stuck around, too, so you’ll often find active lobbies and friendly rivalries that keep the game feeling lively even years after its release.

All in all, Raze scratches that itch for non-stop, twitchy shooter gameplay with just enough variety to keep you coming back. It’s easy to drop in for a quick round or get lost for an hour chasing a new high score or trying a wacky new weapon combo. If you’ve been craving a game that’s fast, fun, and downright relentless, Raze might be exactly what you’re after.
