Go Jace FPS is a retro 2.5D arena boomer shooter built around fast movement, readable pickups, compact maps, and brutal medieval combat. It mixes old-school FPS pacing with modern Unreal Engine systems, giving players quick solo runs, co-op fights, bot matches, and LAN multiplayer battles. The game is focused on arena combat: learn the map, control pickups, keep moving, and take fights before your opponents do. Health, armor, ammo, weapons, and powerups are placed around the level, so survival depends on aim, routing, timing, and knowing when to push or retreat.

Game Modes

The current version includes solo play, co-op, Horde Mode, and LAN multiplayer using listen-server hosting. Players can set up matches through the in-game lobby, choose maps, configure teams, add bots, vote on maps, and adjust match rules.

Current match types include Free For All, Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Free For All, Hardcore Team Deathmatch, Co-op, and Horde Mode. Hardcore variants are more punishing and can include friendly fire settings for harsher matches, while Horde Mode focuses on wave survival, upgrades, and special powers.

Horde Mode

Horde Mode is a wave-based survival mode where players fight escalating groups of enemies while building their character between waves. The goal is to survive as long as possible, manage resources under pressure, and turn each run into a stronger build through upgrades and special powers.

Between waves, players can improve outfit items and shape their loadout for the next fight. Outfit item upgrading gives long-term structure to a run, letting players strengthen their character instead of relying only on weapons picked up in the arena.

Special Powers add another layer to survival. Players can earn and use powerful abilities that change how they handle crowds, recover from dangerous situations, or push through harder waves. Combined with weapon pickups, ammo, health, armor, and powerups, Horde Mode gives Go Jace FPS a survival-focused mode alongside its arena deathmatch and co-op modes.

Weapons, Pickups, and Powerups

The current weapon set includes a shotgun, Sub MG, and fists. Combat is built around short, aggressive fights where positioning and item control matter. Current pickups and powerups include health, armor, shells, 9mm ammo, Sub MG pickup, Quad Power, and The Ring. Item respawn speed can be adjusted by the host, and matches can be configured with or without powerups depending on the kind of fight players want.

Bots and Match Setup

Go Jace FPS includes CPU opponents that can be used for offline practice, solo matches, or filling multiplayer lobbies. Bots support multiple difficulty levels, including Training, Easy, Normal, and Hard, and include Classic and Modern AI style options. The lobby system supports map selection, ready checks, team setup, bot count, match duration, score limit, item respawn speed, and mutators. Hosts can tune the match before launch instead of being locked into one fixed rule set.

Maps and Arenas

The game includes multiple medieval and arena-style maps, ranging from compact dungeon spaces and castle halls to tight shipment-style combat layouts. Current enabled maps include arenas such as Krvava Rotunda, Grajska Dvorana, Dungeon Arena, Veliki Trg, Shipment Simple, Shipment 1519, Fire Pit, and Arena 3-Lane. Maps are designed around quick encounters, pickup routes, and clear combat spaces rather than long downtime.

Progression and Player Features

The game includes a local player profile with lifetime stats, level/experience tracking, match results, kill rewards, and achievements. Players can track kills, deaths, assists, wins, losses, multikills, kill streaks, and other combat milestones. Matches also include chat, kill feed, death recap, scoreboard/leaderboard views, spectator mode, and post-match flow.

Controls and Settings

Go Jace FPS supports keyboard/mouse and Xbox controller input. The game includes settings for sensitivity, controller aim assist, field of view, HUD options, gore level, audio, graphics quality, frame rate cap, resolution, and performance options. On compatible Windows hardware, the game can expose modern upscaling options such as DLSS and FSR, including frame generation support where available.
