As a result it has a special place in my heart. Image Credit – Thule EnterpriseĬube 2: Sauerbraten was likely my first ever bot-based first-person shooter. Either way, the game maintains a high level of enjoyment due to its fast respawn speed and match length. Osteneisbly, this means that you’ll spend the majority of your time in Cube 2: Sauerbraten’s enormous roster of maps either dying a lot or racking up an unhealthy amount of kills. It is an immensely fun experience largely due to the TTK (Time To Kill) being extremely low. You and upwards of 32 bots move at top speeds around detailed enviroments blasting each other’s heads off. Like those games, Cube 2: Sauerbraten is a fast-paced arena shooter. If you’re a fan of Doom, Quake or Unreal Tournament, then there’s a very good chance you’ll enjoy this. I’m not sure if everyone knows about Cube 2: Sauerbraten or not, but it certainly feels like they should.

So, for those, like me, who have searched desperately into the wee hours of the night, here is our guide of the very best shooters with offline bots. However, over the years, through my rigorous searching and pure completely irrational and needless determination, I have compiled a list of the few remaining titles that offer offline bots as more than just a throwaway feature. Alas, more often than not, I’ve come back empty. I have trawled through forum posts and Steam community pages sailed the high seas of Steam’s ungodly categories page and wished upon the starry sky that by sheer luck my long-sought-after treasure would fall upon my lap. So, for many a night, I have struggled in search of the crème de la crème of offline bots. Two-year-olds are playing video games now, right? Frankly, if I can avoid being forced to tears by a child, I’ll take that option. It’s simply the case that my inexperience and lacklustre first-person-shooter skills would result in being berated by people twenty years younger than me.

That, however, does not mean I have no interest in multiplayer games. It is that after years of not having access to a stable enough internet connection, I no longer have any interest in playing with others online. It’s not that I am still cursed with a single minuscule ethernet cable. Since the Xbox 360 era (henceforth known as the golden age of offline bots), we few who still don’t play online games have been overlooked when it comes to shooter content. Image Credit – Henry Kucab The Search For Offline Bots If only there were a game like it, I dreamed, but playable offline where all the enemies were controlled by AI. Unfortunately, the moment I got home, my dreams of playing it were crushed. It was glorious, unlike anything I’d ever played before. But, when I was thirteen(ish), every day after school I’d pop around my friend’s house to play TF2. Understandably, my unhealthy obsession with strategy games and Sims 3 comes as a result.

It meant I could never play multiplayer games at home. Unfortunately, our “gaming computer”, a ten-tonne white brick that sat in my bedroom on a little pink table, was too far from the ethernet cable. All we had, up until I was sixteen, was an ethernet cable the size of a floppy piece of spaghetti.
