Crunch Element

Crunch Element

Crunch Element is a virtual reality “breach-n-clear” type of game. Taking inspiration from the likes of Rainbow Six: Siege, Crunch Element aims to bring a tactical PvE experience, while also separating itself from the crowd with its procedurally generated compounds. Given this is written at the launch of the early access release and was developed by a single person, I’ll be a bit more lenient on the small amount of content and minor bugs the game has.

The core gameplay loop goes like this. Set up your gear in the hideout, select a mission, secure the area, and move on to the next compound. This does start to feel a bit repetitive, but that can be attibuted to the fact that there is only one objective: defuse the bomb. Each compound is procedurally generated, offering unique experiences each time you boot up a level. The compounds are fairly destructible and give you enough tools to blow the place to hell.

So far playing for a little while…

Valve index with mamut pro gunstock

It’s an AMAZING cqb training aid. Really gets the “keep your body tight and low shillouete” rule down. As well as quick reaction.

The fighting is intense, quick, realistic, as well as extremely challenging and nerve racking.

I absolutely recommend this game to anyone looking for intense CQB gunplay. This does that SO well.

Things to improve, devs.

-grenade launcher physics: the grenades blow up even when in proximity of walls, I cannot be even near any obstacles when I fire it, I often blow mys of up when realistically, I should be able to float a grenade through several doorways if needed, it seems to hit things it should be, or not going past doorways.

**This is an excerpt of my much more detailed review and analysis, that you can find here (EN & DE) and also as Video below.

| Visit and maybe follow my curator page, to get more detailed reviews |

Explanation upfront:

This game is hard to judge, it has a lot of ups and downs, but I think the thumbs up is a little bigger, so I gave it a recommendation. But please read the Review, and maybe look for a lower price.**

Hybridising genres excites me. Taking even the basic gameplay loops of two long-established genres and mashing them up can at least make something somewhat interesting – at least for a little while. Disintegration treads this long neglected (and possibly a little treacherous) path by incorporating RTS-style unit management into a (somewhat) fast-paced first-person.

Set in the distant (but not too distant) future, Disintegration is about a world where humans can choose to have their grey matter ‘integrated’ into a robot armature, allowing a temporary new life as inorganic robo-beings - Only it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, as it appears a group of integrated/robotic deadshits known as the Rayonne have decided that full-scale robotification should be essential and irreversible across the entire human race, squarely working to stomp out any pockets of resistance (Human and Integrated alike).

I’d just like to coment on the general response to this game as people are crapping all over it, the hit reg is bad, there are some glitches and there’s not much depth in content. These are all valid issues and fair enough, but to the people saying, enraged zombies are overpowered, stop. The zombies need to be powerful or you might as well just go play cod. To the people saying you cant sprint and strafe at the same time, of course you cant, that would be op and is in no good games. To people saying you cant run fast, I see plenty of people in light classes bomb past me so fast I cant even ADS on them. Please moan about valid issues, there are plenty to choose from including spawns to name but one, but please stop bitching about stupid stuff because you are bad at the game.

Maximum Games once again brings us an awful, broken, and downright boring game that they threw out onto Steam and then abandoned immediately. Zero support post-release, as is tradition from those fine folks.

This PC port is pretty abysmal, and as usual with Maximum Games' releases you can’t rebind your keys. This time they at least let you change a few graphic settings, though. As far as audio options go, you can only change a few volume sliders.

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque®

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque®

FURSAN ALAQSA - ABOUT THE GAME

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque® is a Third Person Action Game on which you play as Ahmad al-Falastini, a young Palestinian Student who was unjustly tortured and jailed by Israeli Soldiers for 5 years, had all his family killed by an Israeli Airstrike and now, after getting out from the prison, seeks revenge against those who wronged him, killed his family and stolen his homeland, by joining a new Palestinian Resistance Movement called Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque®.

This game is greatly inspired by Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Insurgency Sandstorm, Max Payne and Goldeneye 007.

FURSAN ALAQSA - ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT

This game is being developed since 2017 by one person (me, Nidal Nijm, licensed Unreal Engine Developer), in a custom version of UDK Engine (Unreal Engine 3), using the best technology to tell a compelling story through a videogame packed with non stop action, advanced 3D graphics and modern gameplay mechanics, while keeping the soul of Old School Shooters.

You will play in missions across ground, sea and sky, with many objectives to accomplish in each mission, epic bosses battles, powerful guns, vehicles to drive, helicopters to take down, and much more. Expect a LOT of Action and Adrenaline!!!

FURSAN ALAQSA - CHANGING PEOPLE’S PERSPECTIVE

Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque® is a game which addresses the Israel x Palestine conflict from a Palestinian perspective, breaking the cliché of portraying Muslim and Arabs as Terrorists, Bandits, Villains and the Americans/Israelis as the “Good Guys” and “Heroes” of History. This is the first game in the games industry which addresses such a sensitive topic, in a realistic way, showing the other side of history, which is very unknown by people, mostly here on west.

Finally a simple VR shooter. Yes you can choose to have complicated reloading, but this is the only game I’ve seen where you can choose how you reload. Throwing stuff feels fluid and powerful, and is easily my favorite part of the game. The 7 different arenas give me different euphoric feelings.

I highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a VR game they can play easily without frustration, that is also polished.

I mainly play Beat Saber in VR but I heard about this game because the devs are popular Beat Saber mappers who are now getting into VR game development. I fully support Indie developers so I thought I’d give this one a shot.

I’m definitely not a hardcore gamer or can call myself very good at VR shooters. So I definitely fit into the casual gamer category this game is geared towards. The first thing I noticed when I loaded the game is how intuitive everything is. I see some guns in front of me and targets and I can immediately try it out and learn what to do. I didn’t have to wait for any tutorials, cut scenes or anything. I could just start doing some shooting and have some fun right away!
