It was powered by an original gameplay and computer engine that now bears the game's name, one that had been in development for over three years before the game was released. Since the release of Unreal, the franchise has had one direct sequel and two different series based on the Unreal universe.

Unreal Mission Pack I: Return To Na Pali was released on May 31, 1999, and added new missions to the single player campaign of Unreal. Unreal and Unreal Mission Pack I: Return To Na Pali would later be repackaged as Unreal Gold. On August 30, 2001, Unreal was repackaged again as Totally Unreal featuring the contents of Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament.

Premise

The player takes on the part of a criminal aboard the prison spacecraft Vortex Rikers (designated NC114-85EKL8) which has crash-landed on the lip of a canyon on the planet Na Pali, killing most of those on board. The natives of this planet (the four-armed, pacifist Nali) have been subjugated by a collection or alliance of alien races in thrall to the Skaarj Empire. When the Vortex Rikers crash lands, Skaarj board the downed prison ship, killing all survivors that could be found. Since almost everyone on the prison decks is killed upon impact or soon after, the player is presumed to be marooned on an unknown planet. The primary goal of the game is to locate and destroy the Skaarj mothership and escape the planet.

Unreal features a broad range of settings and artwork. In the course of the game the player explores the Nali iron age culture, a crashed research vessel (the ISV-Kran), the dizzyingly tall Sunspire, a floating city, Nali castles and villages, Skaarj bases, and ultimately the Skaarj mother ship. Several Nali documents refer to a messiah who will deliver the Nali from the Skaarj, with the obvious implication that the player is that messiah.

Creatures

There are many creatures throughout Unreal. They are either friendly, such as the Nali, or enemies, such as the Krall or Brutes. There are also a wide variety of enemy Skaarj units such as assassins, lords, and scouts. Additionally, there is also wildlife scattered in Na Pali such as Nali Cows or rabbits. Also, there are carnivorous monsters which attempt to kill the player but are unaffiliated with any league such as the devilfish, cave manta, and "blob".

Weapons

The Unreal and Unreal Tournament series have been notable in introducing novel weapon concepts. When using the ASMD, the player can detonate the secondary fire energy ball by shooting it with the weapon's primary fire. This creates a purple shockwave, causing heavy damage to any opponent nearby. This combo attack is now a staple feature of the shock rifle in the Unreal Tournament series. When shooting rockets with the Eightball, if the player holds down the secondary fire button as well as primary fire, the rockets are launched in a small area as opposed to being spread out. The Dispersion Pistol has several upgrades available. The upgrades are in the form of white capsules hovering above the ground, and once picked up, transform the pistol. When fully upgraded, the pistol's secondary fire does an incredible amount of damage.
