Star Escape

Star Escape

Really fun, simple competitive game. I’ve played alone and with a friend and I could see this being incredibly fun with 3-4 people. It’s not easy but not unfair, you always know what you did wrong. The only complaint i would have is initially navigating the menu to start a game was a little confusing.

INVERSUS Deluxe

INVERSUS Deluxe

This game is what arcade games strive to be: easy to learn, but difficult to master. This super simple eight button control setup takes seconds for any veteran game to figure out and even someone new to games should be able to understand it in under a minute. Four buttons to move, four buttons to shoot. What could be easier? While each map starts out nice and easy with some slow enemies that aren’t very harmful, the pace picks up fairly quickly, introducing faster and more complicated enemies. With the chain-combo and hit streak mechanics, this is both a blessing and a curse. The game rewards you for pulling off risky maneuvers, but itsn’t going to hand you lots of opportunities for easy points. I keep finding myself backing into a corner trying to lure large groups of basic enemies together to get one large combo just to get hit from behind by a newly-spawned enemy from a spot I just wasn’t paying enough attention to. After that, I have to fight to take back any chunk of the map I can so that I’m not locked into a tiny space and picked off easily by even the most basic enemies.

Wow i got to play this at pax east and it was a lot of fun. Playing that again i feel like its even more polished and awesome now! They managed to make the single player REALLY enjoyable for high score chasers like myself cant wait to dive back in. I also got to dive into some multiplayer which i was really excited for. Someone named Gongon poped into my game and we went back and forth at it for about an hour stright !!! keep in mind matches last what, maybe 2 minutes or so ? so you can do the math how many matches we played ! You can tell after a while we were both playing mind games and trying different strats on each other, what a blast.

Wand Wars

Wand Wars

Wand Wars is a really polished game, and probably the best party-game I’ve ever played.

While there’s a clear Lethal League feel to it, it’s clearly more accessible, because the game mechanics are so simple. The problem with Lethal League is that even though it’s an excellent game, it has that fighting game aspect that makes it very complex. You’ve got to learn safe zones, angles of shooting, bunts, with or without jumps, special moves, etc… and consequently, when you hit 50 hours of playtime, your friends will be no match for you anymore.

I love playing four player co-op games that are suitable for groups of varied skill level. This game manages brilliantly, another title with simple controls but surpisingly deep gameplay. Plus superb art and visual effects, stuff that makes the gameplay feel super satisfying when you land that sick off the wall double kill. In addition to the main mechanic of playing dodgeball with a big ball of magic you have power-ups and the ability to turn other players into chickens (take that Kyle). Lastly the game comes with a good selection of maps, each with its own unique twist. One map has fires you can light with your chicken spell, light them all and you summon a minion to help you; another features bubbles that you must break to get the powerups. All in all this is one of those games that will have all your friends asking when they can stop by and play again.

Blaston

Blaston

An intense competitive VR workout game that combines FPS mechanics, with deck building and a hint of fighting game mechanics. In this game you face another live opponent (or bots while you wait for a real opponent), in a 1 vs 1 duel. Guns spawn around your play field. You fire swarms of slow moving bullets at your opponent, while simultaneously dodging their bullets or blocking them. Learn a variety of weapon combos to gain the edge over your opponent. The game is easy to learn, with a high skill ceiling.

Real player with 276.5 hrs in game

This is the best VR game I have ever played. It’s a steal for the price.

Easy to learn, impossible to master, and the most intense workout of any game available.

All of your opponents are human so no two matches are ever the same. There are endless combinations of tactics and you will pick up new ones constantly from your opponents. There’s always a way to best even the seemingly impossible opponents.

Seriously this game will work up a sweat like no other. It is a complete cardio workout program. You will crouch, jump, lean, duck, dodge, and not even realize how hard you’re working out because the matches are so intense.

Long-distance hits while predicting the arrow trajectory are the key to get a good score.

MouseWars Party

MouseWars Party

It’s good but I think there should be more options in local like setting the time limit to infinite and being able to use controllers aswell as mice for multiple players (example: having P1 use a mouse and P2 using a controller) this would allow people like me (I have 1 mouse and 2 controllers) to play multiplayer

UPDATE: I now have a 2nd mouse and multiplayer works great, it would be cool if we could change the colours of teams or cursors in deathmatch

Swarm Arena

Swarm Arena

Do not be fooled by the steam store page, this game has fully implemented online play through the steam system. I bought it for it’s gameplay, and still enjoy it for that and it’s well done online laddering.

Not only are the controls solidly simple, but they also allow for quite a few physics based trickes to be pulled off. This results in gameplay that rarely gets dull and allows the player’s playstyle to clearly show in multiplayer matches.

Real player with 5.7 hrs in game

This game is absolutely fantastic. After a while of searching for a multiplayer, fast-paced action game for a great price I came to this gem. The gameplay is fast but responsive and skillful, there isn’t a moment where you feel cheated by the controls. There’s not a flaw in this game and you could easily kill hours playing this. Would recommend.

It’s also a perfect price to gift a friend after you learn the skills then kick their butt.. until they get better than you xD
