Quake is a classic first-person shooter developed by id Software, initially released in 1996. It pioneered the 3D polygonal graphics and full 3D environments in the FPS genre, featuring a dark fantasy theme influenced by gothic fiction. Players assume the role of a character known as 'Ranger' to fight through hordes of enemies in a quest to stop an enemy code-named 'Quake'. The game is renowned for its fast-paced action, multiplayer modes, and modding community. The Nintendo Switch version, released in August 2021, brings the iconic game to a handheld format, offering both the original experience and enhanced features such as improved visuals and co-op play.
