- Free Mac games, are honestly everywhere,
but the hidden gems get lost out there.
Today I am going to reveal those hidden gems,
that are truly, very underrated.
Please note, some of the included games are very old,
but are still amazing.
Anyway, without further ado,
here are the Top 10 Free Underrated Mac games.
(game midi music)
(rifle fires)
Starting at Number 10 we have SuperTuxKart.
For a free game, this one actually blows me away.
It offers a pretty decent racing experience,
and the graphics while not outstanding,
are still pretty top-notch.
The gameplay is similar to Mario Kart.
It offers a variety of characters to pick,
tracks to race on, and different modes to play.
The game even offers a story mode.
Can you believe it?
Players can race alone with bots,
or play with up to four other players via local multiplayer.
Network multiplayer is apparently
coming later in its development.
If you look at the characters faces,
most are actually taken from popular apps,
like GIMP, Blender,
ObenBSD, XFCE and Pidgin,
which is a nice little touch if you ask me.
The game is available from the official website.

Number 9 is Clone Hero.
Like the name implies,
Clone Hero is a Guitar Hero clone.
The game is still in development under the Unity engine.
I believe the Mac version of this game
was only recently added
and this is great news,
as there are not really any other games
like this on our system.
Clone hero is a rhythm game,
that can be played with any 5 or 6 button guitar controller,
game controller, or even just your Mac keyboard.
Downloading the game is super simple.
However, the game doesn't come with any songs,
you'll have manually to copy them over.
Luckily the developers have included
a whole bunch of music tracks that you can easily download.
This game is available from the official website.
Number 8 we have Lost Constellation.
This game was a supplemental game,
released in December 2014,
to anticipate Night in the Woods,
an amazing adventure game.
Supplemental doesn't mean a demo,
or a preview of Night in the Woods either.
In fact, Lost Constellation offers you a
full gaming experience for free.
The game is a story within a story,
what I mean this is that it shows a story told to Mae
by her grandfather about an astronomer.
Players will travel into a frozen forest
and will be immersed into a story of mythology.
The game is available from itch.io.
(dramatic music)
Number 7 is Battle for Wesnoth.
Originally released way back in 2003,
Battle for Wesnoth has only recently
been added to Steam, in 2018.
It is a turn-based strategy game,
with a strong focus on fantasy.
Players can explore places in the 17 solo campaigns,
or dozens of multiplayer maps.
The graphics are nothing special,
let's be honest here guys.
But the gameplay, is not that bad.
And the music and sound effects,
are quite well-polished.
Battle for Wesnoth is easy to pick up and play,
don't get me wrong, for beginners like me.
But for more advanced players,
it actually offers quite a challenge for you.
Number 6 we have Xonotic,
if that's how you say it.
Welcome to an awesome arena-style first person shooter,
that mixes quick movement with a wide array of weapons.
The gameplay is very similar to Unreal Tournament and Quake.
There are 9 core weapons and 16 full weapons here,
and heaps of game modes,
such as Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Clan Arena and so on.
In addition, heaps of maps are included.
25 official maps,
with dozens of community made maps also included.
It's a great game,
and I had no idea it even existed before doing this video.
I had some issues with lag for this game.
However, I believe it may have just been
my poor internet speeds.
I suggest you play Xonotic with an ethernet cable connected.
This game is available from the official website.
When you first download the game,
it can be somewhat confusing to work out
how to actually open,
this game.
To open Xonotic,
right-click the application,
then click Show Package Contents.
Go into this folder,
then Mac OS,
and open either
one of these two
Exec files,
to open the game correctly.
(shotgun booms)
Number 5 is Trackmania Nations Forever.
I bet some of you were not expecting this game.
Trackmania is available on Mac
through the Porting Kit application.
To install it, all you need to do is download Porting Kit,
and then find this Trackmania game,
and the Porting Kit app will install Trackmania on macOS.
It is such an amazing game.
You can play solo or online with tons of other players.
The maps are just insane,
and the gameplay is very fast-paced.
It can be very challenging at times,
and you will often go flying off the map.
But boy, is it exciting.
I have a video tutorial in the description,
if you have trouble installing the game.
(engine revs)
(upbeat music)
Number 4 we have Spelunky.
This one almost didn't make the list.
Reason being, I think it is impossible
to play the game in full-screen.
I apologize if that is an issue for you.
But regardless, it is still fun to play,
very, very fun.
It is available from the Porting Kit website.
This is the 2008 Spelunky,
otherwise known as version 1.0, I think.
To download the game you will need, once again
the Porting Kit application.
I have a video tutorial on how to download Spelunky
using this application in the description.
Spelunky is a cave exploration platform game,
and is probably one of the best platform games,
from the 2000s.

Number 3 is HaloMD.
For those of you who have watched my
content for a few years now,
you'll probably, most likely know about HaloMD.
I've shown it on my channel a few times,
with the goal of getting more Mac gamers
to know about this game.
HaloMD extends the life of Halo on modern Macs
by using the classic demo version of Halo.
What does it mean?
Well it means you can play Halo one's multiplayer
on the traditional maps.
But also on fan made maps,
with new guns, locations and vehicles.
You can't really play the campaign here.
HaloMD only offers the multiplayer side of Halo one.
This game is available from the official website.
(engine whirs)
(rockets explodes)
(guns firing)
Number 2 we have 0 A.D.
This is one of the best strategy games for Mac,
and it's free,
and most of you don't even know about it.
It's an open-source, real-time strategy game,
made by Wildfire games,
who originally made this as a mod concept
for Age of Empires 2,
later making it into a standalone experience.
Like Age of Empires players can gather resources,
raise a powerful army,
upgrade the army
and you can also dominate your foes.
It offers a single-player and multiplayer mode.
Multiplayer is implemented using peer-to-peer networking
with a central server.
However, so keep that in mind.
0 A.D. is still under development,
and its been under development for a very long time.
But, it has seen a large number of
contributors over the years.
It will be interesting to see where
it heads in the near future.
This game is available from the official website.

- [Game Voice] Fall back.
And finally, Number one we have Skillwarz.
I'm gonna say this,
Skillwarz is the most underrated game on macOS right now
and it's free.
Hardly anyone is playing online,
which means there is usually only one or two servers active.
Which is really sad.
It is obviously a new modern FPS game available on itch.io.
It has very modest requirements,
and can even work on older Mac hardware.
Skillwarz is still in early development,
and apparently more content is coming,
later in its development.
It features five game modes,
and an impressive 20 maps, 20.
It's super easy and fun to pick up and play.
But it is also a good game for competitive players.
Do the creators of this game a solid
and download it, please?
I'd love to see this game become a huge success
when it fully releases.
(gun fires)
(slow-paced music)
I'm interested.
