Running with rifles controls8/24/2023 I'll try again in a few months.Originally posted by Effin'T:Very interested to see how Steam Input profiles work with the Steam Deck for this game. It's not even the most spectacular crashing game on Early Access-that's Next Car Game-so for now there's better, half-built options for you to consider. One crash managed to take my whole PC down with it and required a restart. It's also suffers from a performance perspective: if it's not lagging, it's crashing. Even with a few prompts, I've been lost more than once. There's very little fun in whacking one with a car and dragging their body along in a bloody racing line, and the loopy and busy levels are actually confusing in their half-finished form. The few tracks on offer are half-built, and the splatty people behave like animated sprites. At least it's honest about this: everything in the game has a percentage tag next to it to show you how completed it is, and what's in there is about 50-70%. It is the return of the 'classic' pedestrian trouble racing series, and suffers from the problem of perhaps being launched too early. I can't say the same for Carmageddon: Reincarnation. A cheap, shining example of an Early Access game. Online, it becomes a game about hounding and pincering the enemy. Single and multiplayer games are interchangeable, and if you want to make a game you're part of open to friends, you just toggle it in the menu. It takes practice, and you'll die a lot, but almost every death has an obvious reason. With that movement comes the opportunity to attack and be attacked from any angle, which makes choosing movement and cover a hugely important part of the game. You and the AI can scale buildings and hop barriers, and they have neat moments of fear when outnumbered, tossing a grenade and backing away from the explosion hoping it takes you out. It's a fun shooter, and even the cartoony style doesn't detract from the rattle of the guns and the perfectly grim little smear of red meat it leaves behind. You can follow the orders, or you can take your squad to wherever you deem necessary, giving them commands that simply say where to go and when to regroup. You spawn near the middle of a map and take control of a squad and the game starts suggesting orders, first telling you where you're most needed ("Battle Erupted Near Airport"), and then getting more suggestive, presenting tactical options like "Approach Airport From South West". It's cartoonish enough to welcome you in with a smile, but also a grim little meat grinder that's worth your attention.Įach fight is an ongoing battle between endless armies over a large map with changing objectives. Why fight if not for broth? It's an open-world, top-down soldier sim. I still think the base movement needs speeding up and a better, higher jump given as standard, and it really needs a quicksave and not just a daily back-up, but it's a surprisingly moresome broth and recommended.Īs is Running With Rifles, though the fight is for control of a map and not the universal soup market. There is some trouble with the controls: the game can't decide if you're using a joypad or not, and it didn't recognise mine when it was plugged in, despite being able to control menus with it. The relaxing soup making game and factory sim is good enough. I'm not a huge fan of the fights, that turn it into a slight Tower Defense game. There's the added pressure of MEGA-SOUP Inc's progress, who launch raids on your facility at regulars intervals. The world also has wandering creatures who'll populate your growing soup empire, walking off with anything you leave lying around and making the world feel annoyingly alive. The little ecosystem is fascinating: you can plant the ingredients to create a little farm, so you can have easy access to ingredients to mix and match and create new soups.
