Forsaken is a 3D first-person shooter released for the PlayStation in 1998. Developed by Probe Entertainment, this “six degrees of freedom” game puts you in the cockpit of a heavily armed hover-bike (or ioncycle) as you navigate the claustrophobic corridors of a post-apocalyptic Earth. With movement mechanics heavily inspired by titles like Descent, you are free to fly, rotate, and shoot in any direction as you collect loot and battle automated defenses.
How to Play
Your objective is to explore each level’s complex 3D maps, destroy enemy combatants, and gather weapons and resources. Because the game allows you to move in full 3D space, mastering the controls is essential. By default, use the Arrow Keys to steer and turn, Z / X / A / S for the primary actions like firing weapons, and Q / W / E / R (acting as the shoulder buttons) to handle strafing and altitude control. Press Enter to start.
Tips
Mastering the full-axis movement takes timeโuse the level geometry to maintain your spatial orientation so you don’t get trapped. Always keep moving during firefights, as continuous strafing is your best defense against incoming fire in tight arenas.
