At the time of writing this review, I've put little more than an hour in to the game, which may not be much to some people, but that hour was probably the most fun I've had in a game in quite a while.
I'm going to start off with the bad though, and end on a good note.
Hardly anyone is in the servers is the first issue, now to me, that's not much of an issue because I bought a 4-pack and play with friends, but hardly anyone else has joined the fight with us. There is a single player mode however, so if there's not people on you can battle against AI.
The second thing somewhat bad is the controls, they feel a tad unresponsive at times, including jumping, but other than it being unresponsive at times, the characters do control mostly smoothly.
Now on to the good.
The graphics are pretty good, and I can run it at 60fps without turning much down as far as detail. Although I do have more than the recommended PC specs. At times on larger, more detailed maps, it will dip down in to the 50s or 40s, but it doesn't last long.
The idea is good, and pretty well executed. It's kind of like Super Smash Bros. without the percentage building up, and in a 3D environment + basketball. You have weapons that knock people all over the place, including in the air, off ledges, and down in to the abyss. You also have a goal, which is to get the ball and throw it in to the enemies base (or hoop) and get points, the enemy is doing the same of course, so it leads to a pretty even match.
Each map is timed, if you get more points than the other team by the time limit, you win. HOWEVER, that's not the only way to win. Every time you score a goal you get a seed, which you can use to plant something that can help you and your team out, in the set positions you can plant it in. If you, or your team plants every plant in their spot, you'll also win by that.
I got this game while it was on sale, and got the 4-pack for $2.49, but I would highly recommend it regardless of the price.
All in all, this is a good game if you've got friends to play with. If not, you may get bored of fighting against the AI all the time, but it still offers and enjoyable experience if someone joins your game, or if you join a game in progress.. \u0e21\u0e31\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e38\u0e01\u0e19\u0e32 \u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e04\u0e19\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e22\u0e44\u0e1b\u0e44\u0e2b\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19\u0e19. This game is really awesome mainly because it does something else from other firstperson shooters which i'm really happy i mean com on have you ever seen a firstperson shooter\/sports game. All i'm trying to say is that it's fun, unique and interesting. Overall i recomend this game to anyone.. This is such an awesome game! It has some clear oversights around getting into a game, but the game itself is fun if you can at least land a 3v3 match. Get a group of friends together and you'll have a blast. It's a shame that the multiplayer servers are always empty.. Fantastic gameplay, terrific execution of the concept. Currently the community is too small to play on-demand, but during weekend events you can play with people who are playing earnestly.. Great game to play competitive.
It has quite a learning curve but the (small) community is really active and has great support for new players if you stick around on the teamspeak. The community even hosts tournaments twice a year where you can win sweet prices!
I've put a lot of hours into this, it's no casual game, but if you get into it it's really tons of fun.
. I selfishly want to recommend this game just to try to get more people to play to actually experience what it could be because I really liked the idea and feel. But, I cannot.
I became enamored with the game over a free weekend. The sparsely populated servers with people as new and clueless as me made the game seem fun and the three-something dollar price tag appealing. I bit.
Over the course of the next week or two the population disappeared. But I was able to learn the nuances of the game and navigate the not-steep, but completely unexplained, learning curve thanks to spotty appearances of other players. This made the game seem fun all over again. Over the following weeks I became comfortable with the game and really enjoyed the few times another human was actually on a server. Some players were better, a lot were as lost as I previously was.
But in the end, I never witnessed a game larger than 2v3. Morning, noon or night. Any day of the week. Any server from West to East to Europe to Asia. There just isn't people playing this game. Perhaps some games just shouldn't be open betas or 'Early Access'? People were done and bored before it had legs.
Or perhaps other issues are really holding it back.
The learning curve isn't hard but requires other players to actually learn. There's documentation of what items do or how to prime your two jumps. But nothing about the useful ways to use the items, tactics to employ, using momentum from items\/jumps\/enemy fire, etc. All things you can only learn with a live enemy. And I still feel like I only really learned how to play 1v1 and what tactics to use in that situation because that's all I ever got to regularly.
The devs have an idea of what they believe gameplay *should* be like if you read around the web some. In the perfect world all the servers would be 5v5 and somebody would be playing "goalie" and people would pass the ball. Combine those Ideas with the game that really does feel smooth and man that sounds great!
But the dead community means you'll rarely see 5v5 or in my case; never. I tried to play "goalie" in a 2v2 after I had read about the concept on a forum. But it's just not a logical choice to do when you aren't realistically going to stop many chances.
And passing? That would make the game that much more interesting but the speed of the players (especially once powerups are planted) makes that a colossal undertaking to time correctly. And because of this, nobody ever expects a pass. I never witnessed anybody else even attempt one.
I could go on and on. Its a great concept that is fairly polished and fun in theory. But has a dead community and suffers from a multitude of other problems. I could never recommend it even at the price I paid much less it's regular price. My twenty-plus hours of play consists of maybe five with other players and maybe three of those five hours was "competitive" play rather than goofing around. The vast majority of my play time was spent alone achievement hunting. The bots are awful.
If it gets lots of people suddenly, better maps (another issue I didn't delve into), and one or two other things I forgot to whine about... And it's like $0.99USD. Consider it.. It's a fun time waster. Pretty entertaining and unique. They shut the servers down so only play if your friends will or you'll probably be stuck alone. It's free to play now so what the hell. Get some friends together and have a little fun.. It's hard to play this game because of the lack of other people who play it. But that one time, when you find a server that has 1 or 2 other people on, and you join it, it is some of the best gameplay I ever had. The game has an interesting gamestyle, almost like basketball, but with low gravity, and guns. Something great about this game is that the guns don't actually kill you, they just push you, causing you to fall off the edge. This face-paced game, despite the lack of players, is very fun. I'm almost always smiling, or laughing when playing this game, there just needs to be more people who play it.
