Are you ready to go A.W.O.L.?
Step into the combat boots of Dwayne Allen, a recently discharged special forces soldier, as he joins his former squad mates on their hunt for their missing C.O.
A.W.O.L. is a first-person, mil-spec shooter developed using the Build engine (Duke Nukem 3D, Ion Fury).
Features
- Command your squad – A.W.O.L. features three A.I. team mates with unique behaviors to support Allen in combat.
- Intelligent enemies – to bring the retro FPS forward in time, A.W.O.L. features sophisticated enemy A.I. for a more modern challenge. Enemies will take cover, hide, ambush, and work together to try and take your team out.
- No procedural generation – 9 uniquely-crafted levels for a tailored, bespoke experience!
- Hand-drawn heroes – Bespoke sprite and texture art with serious retro FPS style!
- Pick your playstyle – Players will be able to choose from “action-movie” style play, or amp up the challenging with more realistic combat modes!

Wish there were more games like this. Something about the retro look combined with the military theme just feels right. Gun play is crisp and the damage effects give you that good chunky feeling.
And its completely free.
Could not recommend this enough.

very good art style lovely graphics. At first you may be inclined to just run and gun like a cod game, but AWOL encourages a more tactical approach and thoughtful movement. Very nice game to unwind with. IMO the squad and team mate system feels arbitrary and kinda pointless. (The game is kinda jank sometimes though)

For an old school shooter its not too bad. The enemy ai isnt very smart, they shuffle around alot if they cant get a direct path to the player, making them sitting ducks at long range. They also like to empty their magazine when they start shooting so they are left wide open when they reload. The squadmates are mostly invincible but enemies will actually prioritize you over the teammates. I would also have preferred if the guns were more balanced or varied instead of all being automatic weapons. The shotgun felt extremely weak...
The biggest gripe i actually had was the jumping section. This engine doesnt seem like it's meant for platforming and movement was very wonky when you jump around. It also doesnt jump when your going uphill for some reason. Other than that, this is a nice little old school shooter game.

If you're into Build engine games and old-timey war comics like the 'Nam and 70s Punisher you will love it.
And it's free.

Very good free shooter that you can run on a Potato PC since it is on a Potato engine.

It's a pretty cool game. Like the tactical side from it. You don't see this that much in, let's say boomer shooters. Tho i'm not too big of a fan of a squad behind me, they just seem like an excessive part for the game. But overall a good fun shooter. Not bad.

its by no means a perfect game, but there was a lot love and passion put into this project! A.W.O.L. has alot of charm despite it's few jarring flaws, but it's definetly worth your time if you love build engine shooters, or boomer shooters in general
