Murder

Description

When the match starts, a murderer is randomly selected, whereas other players are all detectives. Who is who? Trust no one!

  • Murderer: Use the knife to eliminate other players, supported by a kit of items to confound them.
  • Detective: Your gun is the only thing that can stop the murderer, but beware: shooting another detective will result in eliminating both of you!

VICTORY CONDITIONS:

  • Murderer: Kill all the detectives within the time limit.
  • Detectives: Kill the murderer or survive until the end.

Do you recommend this mod?

  • Good fun, but could use further breadth/depth

    Games are very short and there's not much too it. I suggest having a longer kill cooldown and some other mechanics

  • leading the way for minigames

    I'm obviously biased, as I'm the one who developed arena_lib, but Murder is quite a classic available in different games outside of Minetest. Sounds added in the 1.1.0 definitely increased the quality of the mod, as people can now understand their role much easier than before (it's also more immersive)

    Misterio?

    ¿Estrategia? ¿Habilidades?

    Todo los tienes, es algo que encontré excelente una vez empecé a jugarlo, el hecho de que debes ser muy precavido con cada movimiento que haces o situación que sucede, lo único que desearia es el hecho de jugar en mapas más grandes ya que a diferencia de los pequeños el espacio de vuelve cerrado para buscar lugares estratégicos, pero de resto excelente.

  • Wow, better than Minecraft!

    I must say that I like this version more than Minecraft's: the custom HUD, the lovely pixel art and the custom powerups are so cool. It's a shame that almost no server has this. I would love to play it with more people :(
