The game is good so far, I would recommend it to get it during a sale.
Now, if you already bought it, you can patch it to give you the original contents from the previous version they pulled out the store that may not be in the version of the game.
First, download eDUKE32, a sourceport to run the game better:
Get the latest build, extract everything into the main folder and change the eDuke32.exe file name to duke3d.exe
Now, you need to download a fix for the port to be compatible with this cursed version:
Again, just extract everything into the main folder
When you open the game, the sourceport screen will open. Select the "Duke Nukem " option, and now you can play this game decently.

Great game, TERRIBLE port. Duke Nukem itself is a build engine classic that will never be forgotten and is still one of the most beloved games even in this day and age. This game had everything fun weaponry, versatile level design, Duke's edgy one-liners and a cheesy story. It's a shame the devs didn't do this port justice so I'll recommend an alternative that makes the game not only playable but adds several QoL improvements as well. Use Raze source port made by the GZ Doom community

Outside of the fact this version of Duke Nukem 3D is missing all the DLC from Megaton Edition and has a couple gameplay quirks, this is the best **OFFICIAL** classic Duke Nukem experience. What really would of made this the ultimate version was to figure out a way to involve all 3D DLC and include other playable editions like the infamous N64 port that had exclusive differences. One of the biggest changes in the N64 version is the ability to actually save "the babes" which has its own end screen stat. Something that makes perfect sense for what Dick Kickem does.
But in all honestly, Duke Nukem needs a grand return like what DOOM did

Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour is a nostalgic trip back to one of the most iconic first-person shooters of the 90s.
The co-op/deathmatch mode is very buggy, crashes frequently, which is really annoying.
Many episodes haven't been added and are unplayable. Overall, the game has a lot of issues on Steam.
it’s a fun experience for long-time fans and newcomers looking to explore a piece of gaming history.

This edition blends nostalgia with modern enhancements. As someone familiar with the original, revisiting Duke's world feels like a nostalgic journey. The addition of a new episode, improved visuals, and online multiplayer add value to the package, making it a worthwhile experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Pros:
Core gameplay remains as entertaining as it was decades ago - the level design, diverse weapons, and straightforward yet challenging combat provide a genuine throwback to the era of classic first-person shooters
Updated graphics with higher resolutions, dynamic lighting and normal mapping
The inclusion of a new episode, created by the original designers, adds fresh content for those who've already explored the game extensively
Developer comments (for those who care)
Cons:
Some may find the price point a bit steep for a "remastered" version of a classic title, especially considering the abundance of affordable or free alternatives in the current gaming market
Duke's voice lines have been re-recorded at higher quality for this version, but Jon St. John's new performance sounds tired and uninspired
Removal of the Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition from Steam
This release is indeed slightly cursed (in thanks to Randy)

20th anniversary! How time flies, just reading the title makes me nostalgic. The later episodes are new to me, time to give a few The Mighty Foot.
I always find Duke Nukem to have more dare and wild design than most FPS at its time including Doom. This World Tour is fun to play, with not just popular hits in the background, but you gotta use a police box as a portal door in the London map, 3D Realms respects the culture - not to mention a broken Golden Gate Bridge map, a favorite in many movies. Also fun to seek secrets and Easter Eggs, Duke Nukem did an awesome job, not massive killing like Doom but offer sightseeing and humor.
Another thing I'd like to mention, you need to have sharp eyes and solve puzzles in Duke Nukem - like in episode 1 there's a door under the bar made hardly seen leading to a key card, the same design would be a secret rewarded in Doom. Later episodes require you to shrink to pass cracks, and more playstyles when you get a jackpat to fly (which is so much fun).
I only beat some episodes once and never find a secret level. Duke Nukem is the very few games I'd return to, knowing that I haven't "beat" the game thoroughly previously and can always find something new and interesting, be it a secret, a weapon or a meme.
10/10, high price value.
