Auto Age: Standoff

Auto Age: Standoff

A ton more fun than I was expecting.

Full disclosure, I am an indie dev living near where Phantom Compass is located, so I knew about the game and was given a free copy. Very surprised at how fluid and smooth and most of all FUN the cars are to drive. I absolutely love the way the little cars handle. It has that perfect “arcady, videogamey” vibe, where teh cars aren’t striving to feel realistic, they are striving for teh best player experiance possible, which I personally think is teh best way to go about this type of locomotion based game. They really did a great job tweaking the cars, and probably my favrit part about teh game is drifting around and boosting into teh air, feels so slick.

This is not a combat-racing game. vehicular brawling, varied classes/styles and weaponry, arenas, aesthetic; this is a car combat game - Auto Age is this in essence, and it’s not too shabby.

In my opinion, the last proper car-combat game was Twisted Metal for the PS3 released back in 2012, and when there are far too few games released apart from the Twisted Metal franchise that fit the bill for being considered part of the car-combat (sub)genre, and to date, as an indie title, Auto Age: Standoff covers the bases to officially be a part of the lineup and not be cringeworthy in 2018.

Mechanum wheels let your vehicle strafe - do I need to say anything more?

Yes…

Bloodless arenashooter - possibly good if you wanna play something fast and fun with your lil spawn, if you have any, or maybe even if you are one your self.

Brings back simple fun of an old school shooter not unlike quake, unreal tournament, hldm or painkiller, without being too edgelordy or complicated with classes or rank-ups or lootboxes.

You can also forget your layed-back controller play-style with reflexes of an old grandma, who was in the war, but got hit by a car…with blades and spikes on it…driven by some crazy racer… in distopian future…

ELEC

ELEC

A match-based, competitive, VR racing game heavily inspired by 80s futurism.

Inspired by the neon futurism of the 80s, make way for ELEC, a fast paced competitive VR game.

Start your journey into the world of the game and begin a match with computer players or real players in peer to peer style.

Take your cycle by the grips and delete your opponents as you race around the arena.

Be the last man standing, win for your team, or play in endless roam against bots and take your time to hone your skills.

Not enough?

Each round you can earn “quanta,” the games currency, to buy new cycle colors and helmets to kit out your rider and show off your winnings against the other players.

Are you ready to take the planes of ELEC?

I’d like to see you try.

In Other Words:

For a long time, we’ve had this idea about a game of this nature.

Something fast, but simple, that still required elements of strategy and skill.

While there’s plenty of games on the market that fit these requirements, none of them felt like what we wanted.

So, what do you do when you’re a couple of programmers, wishing there were a game that felt like an idea of yours?

You make one.

So we did.

Taking inspiration for the games in a certain movie from 1982 that shall not be named, the mechanics were there, all we had to do was implement them in a way better suited for modern gaming, specifically, for VR.

Work started on design and prototyping April 13th, 2021, and here we stand, proud of our work and ready to share.

But that’s not all, oh no. We have plenty of big ideas for the future of ELEC.

So stay tuned, and enjoy!

Native Pimax support, full wide fov, no parallel projection required

Heavy Metal Machines

Heavy Metal Machines

Don’t know how did it happen but I played 650+ hours in this game.

With that been said I decided to write my first ever review. For starters, I have to say that I haven’t played much for the last half of the year, but several rounds I played yesterday reminded me why I don’t really want to continue.

I played on European server, so all I say is related to that. Because I belive situation on South American server is very different.

The first good, then bad impressions. The gameplay is very good, machines are well balanced and have distinct features. Even after mastering your skill with a certain machine, you have dozen of other machines which will give you totally different game experiences. It’s interesting to play solo (those games when you play with bots in your team :) ) and in the team. Team play is very important and brings the most fun. So there is so much to learn to become a good player and it seems that you could have spend a very long time with this game, but it doesn’t happen and below I continue why…

Diesel Guns

Diesel Guns

(VERY LONG EARLY ACCESS POST)

Nowadays is really hard to find some good drive combat videogame, and while Diesel Guns is still in developement, it is still promising and has a good foundation.

Sayd this, maybe is because of it’s Early Access nature but there are things that definitely need improvement in order to make it a good game that can bring back the Drive Combat genre.

First off, let me list what’s good about it so far:

  • Good weapons variety. I especially like that you can choose which weapons to equip for each kind, and apparently it seems there will be more in the future.

Real player with 10.7 hrs in game

If you’re a fan of games like Hardware: Rivals and Vigilante 8, you’ll love this game. the balance of weapons seems just about perfect, and so does the gameplay. Everything just works great. The speed and pacing is perfect. You’re never struggling to try to make a certain mechanic like, ramming or ground pounding work right, it’s not TOO easy either, but it just feels… GOOD when you use it. as of right now, the game is severly lacking in overall content due to it being an early access alpha title, but what’s there will make the gameplay feel near complete when you’re in a deathmatch and blowing up enemies! But for $5, it’s absolutely worth the current state that it’s in.
