Zephyr

Zephyr

In the 24th century, Earth is overpopulated and humanity is forced to spread out to other plants to secure more resources. Extremely powerful corporations vie for control of new planets, hungry to exploit their resources and secure more power over other corporations.

The battle for corporate rights to planets has been organized into a fast-paced, violent battle sport where hovering combat vehicles called Zephyrs race their way to victory in the Interplanetary Battle Circuit. You are a Zephyr pilot, racing under the banner of your corporate sponsor. Now you must race, dodge and fight your way across the finish line in a battle for glory and for your life.

In Zephyr you can:

  • Choose a corporation and pilot their Zephyr, each with unique stats

  • Pilot your Zephyr in a first-person view

  • Bring down your opponents with your turret-mounted cannon

  • Collect power-ups to improve your Zephyr’s offensive and defensive capabilities

  • Race through beautiful, maze-like cyberpunk arenas

Note: Multiplayer is not supported for this release due to the age of the game, though all original multiplayer content is included.

A fantastic arcade shooter!

Pros

-Great gameplay

-Creative enemy/faction variety

-Awesome bosses

-Enjoyable progression

Cons

-Starting a boss fight with half or lower health could be an absolute drag.

-Difficult bosses/sections can have you repeating the same levels far too many times to be enjoyable.

Thoughts

-I feel like the bosses would have been much more enjoyable if you always entered the fight with full health. Perhaps after successfully reaching the boss and dying the amount of levels you have to repeat should only be one instead of two.

This game is Fantastic!

I played the demo before and loved it, so I knew the full game was going to be a treat. I know roguelite is becoming quite a common genre now, but it works perfectly with this game. It is so much fun having to play and earn the upgrades which then in turn make the game that little bit easier each time you play. That for me is the perfect way to get you playing and keep you engaged.

This game is a perfect mix of a classic shoot em up while driving a car and dodging bullets, so a car/shoot em up/bullet hell dodging. There are some great bosses to take down as well which are a lot of fun, working out their patterns and ways to take them down. For me its a perfect mix and it works beautifully!

It’s janky shovelware. The only reason I’m writing this review is because nobody else has. Better games for a dollar. Better games for fifty cents. Better games for free.

UPDATED Review 4/10/2021: Wow! This is a ton of fun. I had some prior grievances with some of the choices made with gameplay that were making the game very hard to enjoy for me. I voiced my concerns in my review, and the devs (small, indie dev team) responded very quickly to address some of those concerns. The devs are very receptive to feedback and appreciate hearing from their community, and it seems like they care about their product after seeing the most recent updates.

The gameplay is a lot of fun! It’s a bit of a combo of Crazy Taxi, Quarantine, and Carmageddon with slight influences from other media as well. If you’ve played Quarantine, you’ll notice the inspiration, but trust me, the devs are working hard to make this their own game! You will find yourself driving around a crazy, chaotic, and relatively apocalyptic city with bad guys and pedestrians on the road, turrets, other cabs/vehicles, and more. You are picking up fares, some of which need to go somewhere, others want you to kill someone or blow up a vehicle, and others want you to blow up a building (similar to dropping someone off at a destination, except with more explosions!). There may be more fare types in later districts that I haven’t gotten to yet, but I am satisfied with the fare types that are already in the game.

Cool indie game! Some stuff heavily resembles Quarantine or Road Warrior, but there are some major differences. Even despite the fact that the game has some bugs, the devs update it all time - a lot of stuff was fixed in recent patches.

Pros and cons below.

PROS:

  • positive vibe;

  • unique atmosphere somewhat reminds the old Quarantine classic;

  • nice effects and gore system;

  • excellent music!

  • driving model is not that bad at all,

  • cool weapons!

CONS:

  • some missions look bland and could be a bit better;

An Extremely Solid AG Racer

Very worth the wait

Summary:

While the title leaves me scratching my head, nearly everything else about Formula Fusion’s re-incarnation as Pacer has left me very impressed. With an aesthetic somewhere between the PS1 and PS3 era Wipeout games and dripping with detail, the environments here are a sight to behold. The physics model is more traditional to the genre than, say, Redout - leaning more towards the later Wipout games with just a touch of later F-Zero as well. Put another way, the racing model is approachable, intuitive, and smooth - a far cry from the formerly awkward, stilted iterations past. The craft are fun to pilot and have lots of room for customizing to suit your personal style.

Real player with 63.7 hrs in game

tl;dr:

  • Fantastic visuals

  • Physics which scratch that Wipeout itch

  • Good performance; great performance after the first patch

  • Good multiplayer when you can find it

  • Confusing UI

  • OK music

  • If you can’t progress in the campaign, use the garage!

  • There are multiple weapons & items. Again, use the garage.

  • If you suddenly notice your shield/health steadily dropping for “no reason”, it’s probably not a bug; you’re probably in an endurance event

  • If your position jumps suddenly at the end of a lap, having been static the whole way round, that is probably also not a bug; you’re in a “speed lap” event

Its great fun to see cars get destroyed and see stuff left and right. Full car destruction is a banger.

Real player with 15.1 hrs in game

Just for clarity I got the game key for free for testing the game.

Its a fun game we don’t get many combat car games.

50 players with bots or people 2 modes currently in the game, race and arena. The cars tend to drift around corners its quite controllable with a controller, might be slightly tricky with keyboard.

Its fun racing with others, especially when you get your weapons on lap 2. The game needs work but hopefully it will become a really good car combat game.

For being an expanded port of “just” a mobile game, this one’s great.

My only two complaints are irregular, but severe crashes and the fact that the campaign is rather short.

Though, regarding the latter, Score-Hunters will still have plenty of fun with the arcade mode.

This is a really fun game. It has striking character design, engaging gameplay, and a funky soundtrack. The story and dialogue can be goofy but that’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Incidentally, I have not encountered any bugs.

Turbo Sloths

Turbo Sloths

Turbo Sloths is a whole new racing Universe. In this race, your primary objective is to use a powerful turbine to make your multi ton, clumsy truck become as fast as a bolt of lightning!

Give your Turbojunk some decent upgrades, install powerful boosters, stock up on active gas, customize every part and component and rush ahead, show off the true speed .

You are to enter an incredible Wasteland League and prove that you are the One, the Madman of Speed.

Unique atmosphere, pristine graphics and red-hot metal are waiting for you.

#### RACES :

Welcome to the Turia planet. Its soil houses the most power-efficient mineral ever to exist across the Universe - the turanium. With it in their firm grasp, the Sloths have colonized the worlds within their reach. They are a highly intelligent race of tech-heads and industrialists, for whom there are no insurmountable barriers, they just bring them down and go for more.

Turia and entertainment are as different, as chalk and cheese, yet there is one thing locals enjoy the most and the name for their passion is «racing». When you have access to powerful fuel, ordinary cars just get toasted into a crisp, so this is the point where you seek a more horse power-loaded beast.

The Wasteland League is the most prestigious championship around these parts.

Only the multi ton Turbojunks can qualify for the races. And the one and only task for you to tackle is to speed up this oversized monster and cross the finish line first. To leave them all is about more than just pedal to the metal, it is also about infusing even more power into your metal companion: use special chain boosters, heed your inner voice for the right turn up the heat to preserve inertia and rush on. Only the most desperate Sloths have got what it takes to win over and over again!
