ABOUT THE GAME Subvein is a top-down multiplayer action game. It's super fun. You can buy weapons, mutate to develop powerful skills, progress through the ranks in opposing gangs, earn credits by doing missions and more. Subvein combines fast paced action with strategic character development to keep you playing for hours.
It's online, free to download and only about 14MB so you can start playing in minutes. Everyone here should get the hang of it quick because the controls are very similar to CS.. WASD to move, Y to chat, E to pickup weapons, etc.. you log in and start off fresh at level 1. You press B to buy your gun and get to killing people! As you kill people you'll gain experience and mutate, which allows you to invest skill points. You simply press N to open the skill selection screen and you're presented with a wide range of skills to choose from. Invisibility, Bullet Time, Self Repair, Venom Shot, Blade Fury.. the list goes on. As of v0.53 there are a total of 33 skills in the game and over 20 weapons. You choose your skills and the cycle continues, pwning noobs all the way. Subvein has a number of game modes including popular favorites like DM and CTF, and a build in map editor so there are countless map to choose from.
Skills and mutations As we all know, mutants are totally badass and have super powers. You gain experience by killing other mutants. Everytime you level up and mutate, you get to invest a new skill point. In game you can press N to bring up the SKILLS tab (under the PLAYER tab), and unlock a new skill. If you unlocked an active skill, you can then use it by Right Clicking in game. The 3 skill trees are PHYSICAL, MENTAL and CYBERNETIC. If you stick to just one skill tree you get significant benefits. For every 20 skill points in one tree, you get +1 bonus to all unlocked skills. Your headgear changes depending on your skill trees. Black hood = Mental Metal hat = Physical Crazy hair = Cybernetic
Mutation makes your player stronger and more powerful. As your mutation level increases, so do your max hitpoints, your max energy, your max capacity (for carrying weapons), your max sprint time and your skill points. As you kill other mutants, you'll gain experience. The amount of experience that you gain is equal to the mutation level of the player you kill. For example, killing a player with a mutation level of 23 will award you 23xp. When you get enough experience, your player will mutate and increase another muation level. You can tell the mutation level of another mutant by looking at the numbers floating above them. The first number in bright red shows their mutation level.
