It's Unreal Tournament! But softer! Nerf Arena Blast is a classic arena FPS with more than a passing resemblance to UT99. They use the same Unreal engine and were developed alongside each other, but after you get past the "Total Conversion Mod” feel of it, Arena Blast reveals its own distinct and colorful identity. Let's look back at it 27 years later here on LGR!
