Tank Brawl 2: Armor Fury
[received the key for free to help out a little with beta testing, but would have bought it anyway]
First of all my kids and I loved the first Tank Brawl. It was just this fun simple tank game that reminded me of NES days with tight controls and arcade-like levels. Sure it had its glitches and imperfections but it was charming and we wanted more. The devs heard our plea.
Some years later they bring us Tank Brawl 2. The graphics have improved, they managed to fit the entire campaign on a single map w checkpoints and they tried to do some interesting things that are outside of the box.

For an unknown game from a two persons vietnamese studio that’s only been tried by less than three hundred players, I was pleasantly surprised to find it actually quite fun and well made!
With its vibrant colors, pudgy enemies, short engagement ranges, and screens filled with bright bullets, it looks quite arcadish. But there’s no forced scrolling: I was still always in control of where and when to go. Though it’s not really free roaming, more like sequences of screen-sized canyons and walled arenas, with a couple secret paths. I was also free to choose between different views, from vertical top down camera, to a near horizontal view, and some inbetween, with controls adapted to each: for example in top down, the screen doesn’t rotate, and the right stick is the turret direction, while in more angled views, the right stick is the turret rotation, and the camera follows the line of fire. Not sure it’s clear, but ah, my point is the control scheme changes to best fit the camera. I used a gamepad and didn’t even try KBM btw.

Bloody Efforts
Imagine your own mighty Heroes and make them REAL in Bloody Efforts.
Story:
_There were two Ancient Gods - Known and his older brother Unknown. The elder God created a whole world with mighty Elements and the younger one gave this world a life with all forms we know. Unfortunately, there was a conflict between the brothers, which turned into the battle. Clash of the Gods disturbed the world balance and brought many cataclysms upon all the races. The Elements began to fight each other and what is worse, a new ominous being appeared – the Hollow.
Until then, only a fraction of humanity managed to survive. Probably everyone would have been dead a long time ago, but something unexpected happened to the races. A new kind of people appeared, called Apostles. They are significantly different – stronger, faster, but the most remarkable is their ability to subdue power of the Elements. Some of the Apostles fight to restore order and peace once again. Others cooperate in achieving common goals. There are individuals who want to find remnants of the Gods or even get along with the Hollow, devoting their souls in exchange for new horrific powers. And who will you choose to be?_

WARZONE-X
WARZONE-X is a multiplayer first-person game developed in 2755 where large corporations fight for the few resources left on earth combining the experience of science fiction and cyberpunk worlds in a death match with futuristic technology. 5 classic game modes based on team fighting and can play up to a total of 12 players per map or solo mode against bots.
Classic game modes:
- Deathmatch: Also known as DM or Deadly Combat, it is the typical all-against-all duel, each by his side. The objective is to have the largest number of frags (deaths made by the player) at the end of the time, or be the one that reaches the limit of frags established in the game. One of the best known modalities that are derived in this way is the one-on-one, also known as 1on1 or Duel.
- Teamdeathmatch:
Also known as TDM or Deadly Team Fight. Here, the rules of the game are the same as in Deathmatch, that is, the winner (this time, “team” instead of “player”) is the one who reaches the limit of frags established in the game, or one who, At the end of time, be the one with the most frags. There are 2 teams competing with each other to be the winner.
- Capture The Flag: Also known as CTF or Capture The Flag. Players compete in teams to take the flag of the rival team and take it to their own base, while defending theirs. Competitive teams must have a large share of teamwork. Teams must defend their base from rival attacks, while infiltrating the enemy base, taking their flag, and returning to their base. This requires the team to protect its bearer well from enemies in order to fulfill its objective.
- Domination: DOM, Teams compete to control several control points (these appear on the map as a giant X that changes shape and color according to the team that controls it) with the aim of adding points and winning the game. Standard maps contain three points. The points can be controlled either with the total occupation of the territory (physically occupying the space) or from a distance. Here, again, there are 2 teams competing for the same goal.
- Rush or Assault: A team, called an attacker must place explosive charges on two predetermined targets. When these are destroyed, the next phase is advanced where the same is done. The defending team must defend the objectives until the enemy points or “regeneration tickets” reach zero.

Predator: Hunting Grounds
You can have some great fun but game has share of issues. I played a lot and had fun, but don’t imagine that I will be playing it again anytime soon.
– Real player with 180.7 hrs in game
Pros: - respect to source material, soundtrack from orignal movie used along with many other features;
-
good customization options;
-
predator designs mostly interesting;
-
predator weapons are very versatile, so you may vary gameplay on the go
Cons: - too much waiting in the lobbies, even though PS players could chip in;
-
gameplay seem to be unbalanced, predator, especially new paid DLC ones are ridiculously OP;
-
game is very demanding graphically, FPS drops to 30-40 even at my relatively high end machine

Overcharge - Secure the discharged battery, bring it to a Lightning Rod, and charge it to 100%. Defend the battery well because the enemy will try their best to steal it from you.

Aruum Station - Malandoq’s Lightning Archipelago rests in high orbit, with many interconnected stations that span across the Xandaigdig. Aruum Station is one of the key facilities used for speedy transportation of personnel and supplies throughout the known world.

-
Sundown Forge - This weapons facility is a rogue faction’s contingency plan should their ambition within the Alliance of Nations prove to be untenable. It holds a vast number of schematics and prototypes from various Xandaigdig time periods that can help develop a war arsenal.
Vortex Attack EX
I’m sorry to the Developer for this review who is on my friend’s list as well (probably not for much longer) but I can no longer recommend this game.
I’m supposedly and apparently one of the best players of this game (according to the dev) and its predecessor so I don’t post this lightly. I currently have the number 4 best score on expert on the global score list registered back in January when the game was first released and number 1 on the previous version)I’ve sunk several hours into it. So why don’t I recommend it?
– Real player with 141.5 hrs in game
This is a preview of first impressions only as I have played only 1.8 hours.
What I can say now is that it is fun, very colorful, runs very smoothly and has a decent sound track too.
I only play single player, but that’s fine with this game. Glad I bought it, and anyone who likes a game with
some character to it, arcade style shooter with leader board and plenty of achievments is sure to like it.

Hyper Dash
My favorite VR game period. If you wanted to scratch a fast pace halo/Quake/Unreal type first person 5v5 shooter itch than this is it. Smooth, fast, and skill really shines. Very active player base from 1 year of an open testing period. Mature competitive league already with streamers and casters covering matches. This is the benchmark of FPS VR Shooter E-sports. Monthly updates and additions with developers who have a good relationship with their users via discord. Highly recommended and is the game I keep coming back to.
– Real player with 567.9 hrs in game
This game definately needs more attention from the VR communuity.
A very smooth experience. The guns feel great and the combat is pretty fun.
The Cons.
Feels like a daycare. There are alot of little children that play and it can be frankly annoying.
Hit Detection/ Lag Compensation - This will absolutely make or brake this game. This game is very fast paced many weapons can instantly kill and most of the time the game seems to favor some players over others when it comes to hit detection espically when it comes to dashing out of a firefight, makes it tougher as well because if you die right after letting loose a rocket, or a killing blow the game will just out right ignore it. Weirdly Hyper Dash has some of the lowest pings for servers and the way the game handles damage it feels like it heavily rewards players with higher ping rates.

Each glyph is available from the start so everyone is on a even playing field.

Mines that explodes when the enemy is near.
-
A shield made up of projectiles in a semi circle.
-
Anti-missile attack that will look for enemy projectiles and destroy them.
-
Spell that makes decoy clones and moves them in specific directions.
What sets the great players apart are their skill in spell building and mastering their builds. When you have made a build, enter online matchmaking and fight others with your spells.

In online matchmaking you will fight others in a 1v1 best of 5 game. Each player has several staffs available. The game is made in a custom engine with rollback netcode for optimal online experience.

ENG
Alright, so you found this game in the Free Games section or maybe you came knowing it’s a new game by mighty XWILKINX. As a person who played the game since its very launch, first on the Web-version, then on the itch.io version, and then here, I’m here to reroute your journey elsewhere, as you most likely won’t find what you’re looking for - a game you can play and enjoy. This review is focused on multiplayer, as IMHO singleplayer is extremely boring.
Let’s start with the positives tho, as game actually sports a couple of them:
– Real player with 420.5 hrs in game
–-What you are initially reading was written before 1st prestige, further down (indicated by obvious line) are things added after the initial review and will likely be updated as my play time goes up—
Having played BRAIN/OUT, another 2D shooter very similar to this for countless hours, honestly I think this game is way better than B/O in a lot of ways. This game is what B/O could’ve been had it not been neglected and tried to be every single popular trend in the gaming industry to stay relevant. It really is a shame how B/O ended up in its current and most likely unrecoverable state. But enough of B/O’s current state. Lets look at the positives of WHY this game is B/O but IMO better.
