A 1997 first-person shooter by id Software in which a marine wages a one-man war against the cybernetic Strogg invading Earth.
Setting
Quake II departed from its predecessor’s gothic horror in favor of a sci-fi war against the Strogg, a hostile cyborg race. Earth’s military attempt to neutralize their homeworld of Stroggos and lose almost all forces in the initial assault.
Engine
The id Tech 2 engine introduced hardware-accelerated lighting, colored polygons, and more dynamic environments. It became one of the most-licensed engines of its era, powering games like Sin and Half-Life’s first internal builds.
Legacy
Quake II spawned the Strogg sub-universe, continued in Quake 4. The Nightdive Studios 2023 remaster bundled all expansions and added a new campaign called Call of the Machine.
