Red Eclipse 2

Red Eclipse 2 is an arena‑style first‑person shooter that emphasizes fast movement and acrobatic gameplay. Players can run, jump, and dash using parkour mechanics, impulse boosts, and other movement tricks across a variety of maps. The game offers a large selection of mutators and adjustable variables that let users modify core rules, weapons, and scoring to create diverse match experiences.

The engine is built on Cube Engine 2 with SDL and OpenGL, allowing it to run on Windows, Linux, BSD, and macOS and to be compiled from source. Multiplayer sessions support real‑time cooperative map editing, enabling players to design and tweak levels together while the game runs. Development has been ongoing for more than a decade, and the project remains stable and actively maintained.

Red Eclipse 2 is released under the Zlib license, is fully open‑source, and can be self‑hosted without subscription fees. It is targeted at anyone who enjoys competitive arena shooters, from casual newcomers to experienced players who want to customize gameplay or contribute to the community‑driven development.
