Play Duke Nukem: Critical Mass (US edition · English / French / German / Spanish / Italian) Online

Critical Mass on DS combines side-view run-and-gun stages with sections that change the action's viewpoint. Fight hostile creatures, cross gaps and manage the distance between Duke and the next threat. A weapon that clears a corridor still requires careful timing around an exposed ledge or an enemy firing from another height. Learn the opening stage's movement before spending health on a rushed attack. When the presentation changes, read that section's aiming or movement instructions rather than carrying over a PC shooter layout. Begin with the opening tutorial and practice the main interaction before pursuing optional rewards. Read the current objective, make one deliberate choice and watch its effect before repeating it. A short first session makes it easier to separate a missed instruction from a difficult challenge. Return to the available menu when you need to check progress or adjust your approach, then continue from the next clear objective.
