The IncastroPC test
Fabio Graziosi · July 2026 · updated on 12 November 2026In short
It's open source, free and native on Linux, and that alone deserves respect. But it feels stuck twenty years in the past: it's fast and frantic, the servers are half empty, and the people who are still there have been playing for years and will wipe the floor with you. Worth trying out of curiosity, but it's unlikely to keep you hooked.
What we liked
- +Free, open source and native on Linux: you can also install it from Flathub and it runs on any PC
Less convincing
- −Dated graphics, few players online and a steep learning curve if you're not coming from Quake
