Quick summary
BeGone is a free, browser-playable multiplayer first-person shooter that runs using the Unity web plugin. It offers simple team-based matches and surprisingly detailed visuals for a browser title, but it’s limited in scope and suffers from occasional technical issues.
What it offers
- Matches support up to 12 players divided into two opposing teams.
- The game is free-to-play and launches inside your browser if you install the Unity web plugin.
- Monetary rewards are earned by scoring kills, which you can spend to upgrade your weapons.
- Only a single map is available, so environments and objectives remain the same across matches.
- Camera perspective can be switched between first-person and a third-person view, which reveals the character animations.
Gameplay experience
Players spawn at one end of the map and navigate the arena trying to eliminate opponents while avoiding being shot. Combat is straightforward: kills grant currency for better equipment, which can make newer players face opponents with superior firepower. There’s no apparent matchmaking to separate beginners from experienced players, so newcomers may frequently encounter more heavily armed rivals.
Visuals and audio
Unity enables BeGone to look better than typical browser-based shooters — it’s not on the level of major console releases, but the graphics are respectable for a web game. Audio is functional but limited: environmental ambience, gunfire and occasional groans make up most of the soundscape without much variety.
Performance and stability
Although gameplay is generally playable, you may run into frame-rate drops during intense firefights. At times bullet tracers or impact effects fail to render, leading to moments where it feels like you’re being hit by invisible projectiles. These glitches are disruptive and detract from what could otherwise be a smooth match.
Verdict and alternatives
BeGone demonstrates what browser shooters can achieve visually, yet its shallow content and occasional bugs leave it feeling less polished than full-fledged action games. It’s an interesting preview of web-based FPS potential, but not quite a replacement for more complete titles.
Suggested alternative: Assassin’s Creed Pirates (trial) — if you’re looking for another free trial experience to try while BeGone develops further.
