Play Duke Nukem Advance Online

Duke Nukem Advance came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, developed by Torus Games. It was a time when getting a full first person shooter experience on a handheld felt like a novelty, and this game was part of that early wave. You step into the boots of Duke Nukem, the wisecracking action hero, in a portable version of his world.

You control Duke from a first person perspective, moving through levels packed with aliens to blast. Your main goal is to fight through various stages, from city streets to alien bases, to stop an invasion. The game uses a screen by screen exploration structure, where you clear rooms of enemies and find keycards to progress. You can dual wield certain weapons, like pistols, which lets you lay down a lot of firepower. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can be sharp, especially when you are surrounded. It feels like a chaotic, condensed shooter that fits in your pocket.
