Soldat

Soldat is a unique 2D (side-view) multiplayer action game. It has been influenced by the best of games such as Liero, Worms, Quake, Counter-Strike, and provides a fast-paced gaming experience with tons of blood and flesh.

This repository contains the source code of the so-called 1.8 version. Compared to the original version, the code has undergone many changes but is not in a finished state. We hope that by open-sourcing Soldat we can empower our community to improve the game at a faster pace.
