In terms of gameplay, WarPath itself doesn't stray too much from the standard science fiction first person shooter formula: shoot the enemy until they die. The matches tend to be very fast paced and frantic so fans of id's Quake or the Unreal Tournament series should feel right at home.

Graphically the game uses the 2.5 version of the Unreal Engine, the same version that was used by Pariah, which means that while it may not be the best looking shooter on the market it's still quite solid even in the last legs of this engine's life. The art style of WarPath certainly reminds us of Bungie's Halo series with its metallic sheen look. There are also a few extra visual effects, such as heat shimmers with some of the weapons. The maps are well designed but don't have a lot of visual variety, with a few exceptions such as a skybox on one level that has animations of alien ships flying above.
