TopDownQuake

TDQ is a CSQC-only Quake mod allowing you to play the game in a fully top-down view, in the style of classic top-down twin-stick shooters like the NES game Commando.

The code has been entirely rewritten from the ground up, not relying on any code or assets from the old versions of the mod.

The latest release can be downloaded in the releases section, or on Slipseer.

  • Current Release Version: 2.1 (January 13, 2024)

A screenshot of Quake, rendered in a top-down view rather than a first-person view.
