Raze: a port of the Build engine games backed by GZDoom technology that brings Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Redneck Rampage, Shadow Warrior, and Exhumed/PowerSlave together in a single program, and can also play NAM and WW2 GI. Each game builds on an earlier port: Duke Nukem 3D on JFDuke and EDuke 2.0, with World Tour extensions from DukeGDX; Redneck Rampage on Nuke.YKT’s reconstructed source (Rednukem); Blood on NBlood; Shadow Warrior on SWP and VoidSW; and Exhumed on PCExhumed, with enhancements inspired by PowerslaveGDX. It recognizes each game’s versions and add-ons, such as Duke Nukem 3D’s Atomic Edition, Plutonium Pak, and World Tour with Duke It Out in D.C., Duke Caribbean, and Nuclear Winter, One Unit Whole Blood and Cryptic Passage, Redneck Rampage Rides Again and Route 66, or Shadow Warrior’s Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon, plus the shareware versions. From GZDoom it inherits OpenGL, Vulkan, and OpenGL ES renderers and a game picker at startup. Version 1.11.0 (February 22, 2025) brought fixes for every game and a widescreen menu background for Shadow Warrior. There are builds for Windows and macOS, and it builds on Linux.

You needThe data files from your own copy of one of the games (Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Redneck Rampage, Shadow Warrior, Exhumed/PowerSlave, NAM, or WW2 GI), with their add-ons if you have them; the free shareware versions work too. Plus Windows, macOS, or Linux.
