Blood Waves

Blood Waves

Blood Waves (BW in short) develope and published by Light Road Games. On steam, the PC version was released on 12/05/2018 however according to Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/blood-waves ) it shows the PC version was released on 27/11/2017. A mismatch of information. As of this writing, there are no feedback on Metacritic for BW.

I am writing this as of update 0.410 with just 2.6 hours into the game and have not completed/experience what the product has to offer, substantially this is definately too early to write BUT because the developer is still updating the product at this stage, I intend to push this writing out ASAP for the devs to consider some idea(s) to work on.

Didn’t go into this one with much to ask , just something to enjoy and play.

And that’s sort of what i got with Blood Waves , it’s a straightforward 3rd person survival shooter which feels like playing Resident Evil of sorts.

You have a skilltree where you get 1point per wave you finish , and money after each wave , to purchase weapons and upgrades.

Now let me start with saying that the Skilltree is busted , you can stack damage reduction , you get up to 6% of your max hp PER SECOND regenerated and then you have the classics like stamina increase , headshot dmg multiplier you know the good stuff.

Home Wars

Home Wars

I didn’t expect too much from the game besides fighting mass battles with plastic soldiers against bugs in the style of Total War but the game has so much more. It’s like total war with around 10-30% the content, only 1 enemy, no diplomacy, management of only 1 base, ammo management, research and battles.

The good:

  • You have to build your main base in the style of total war

  • You have to manage how much ammo you have in stocks

  • The variety of units is great, there are few simple upgrades to unit stats and new units usually solve a slightly different role while being also stronger. (e.g. slow weak cheap artillery = mobile arty = powerful arty = supressive Arty = versatile Arty)

Home Wars is a fun, refreshing and challenging strategy game.

It’s premise are very interesting and ,dare I say, extremelly original when all the element are taken into account.

I personally loves it, because it strike so many nostalgia chord about old games that I like : ( SimAnts, Earth Defense Force, Toy Commander and Army men)

The game despite it’s simple graphics and childish look is incredibly complete, packed with feature , heavy on unit and weapon diversity and fiendishly hard.

However the game have a good number of flaw, gameplay and balancing wise in Campaign mode.

I’ve played some of the beta builds and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve played. They have done a lot of work since they’ve released their first(?) demo and the game is polishing up nicely. They have improved upon pretty much every aspect.

The devs seem to be very accepting of criticism and seem to be working hard to release an excellent VR game.

If a tower-defense fps hybrid with grappling hooks sounds like your type of game, then this game might be for you. Keep in mind that they are still working on the game, however.

It is a super fun game with a lot of potential.

The developer is responsive to feedback and does a great job communicating progress.

I wish this game all the best.

Best FPS game I have played. Dynamic gameplay, huge player limit and skilled community make up for a constant hail of bullets and neverending fun as a simple soldier, who needs to teamwork if he wants to live another minute. The strategic aspect is not my favourite (I’m really bad at strategy games) but gives you a lot of fun too when your forces listen to you and you guide them to victory.

Devs are close to the people, the community is loving albeit harsh at times, the more professional part of the community is like a big family (there is hate but they still love each other).

If you wanna get yelled at for not understanding the game from the first minute you play this.

If you wanna get abused by old farts for not reviving them.

If you have a fetish for verbal abuse.

If you like getting your ass kicked the first 72 hours you play this game.

If you dont mind getting overwhelmed by the complexity of this game.

If you have nothing better to do on saturday evenings.

This is your game.

A blend of RTS/FPS/Shittalking/flaming/abuse.

The most noob unfriendly community you will ever meet.

I’m reviewing the game only based on my experience playing it with a controller and I haven’t tried local multiplayer yet.

DEVELOPER / PUBLISHER REVIEW 👍

Most towers are manually fired, which is fine in and of itself. however, the basic tower requires button mashing to fire at a vaguely reasonable rate, and when you’re firing you can’t run around collecting coins. When you’re running around collecting coins, you can’t fire. The flamethrower tower can fire just by being held down, which is fine, but it’s very short range, so it’s not usable as a front line of defense. May be more fun with multiplayer, since one of you could be collecting coins while the other shoots, and you can double up on shooting when you’re close to losing. The button mashing killed the game for me.
