Forge Squad

A great take on the casual party style game made popular by titles like overcooked. It's a little rough around the edges with the translations missing in places and the collision going a little wonky at times. And the visuals are probably going to hold this back from really taking off. But on the whole if you're willing to give it a shot it's got great potential.

Fun little game with unique idea of co-op Tower Defense. Definitely recommended for playing in a group at parties, but you can also have a great few hours in singleplayer. Graphic style and level design are playful and enjoyable. I had no trouble with controls at all, neither with keyboard nor with a controller. Movements of the characters seem fluent and on point. Online multiplayer would be a great target for further development, I can definitely imagine playing this with random players too. Overall, a definite recommendation from my side, keep up the great work!

I don't think I can review this game without comparing it to Overcooked. If you like Overcooked and if you like tower defence games, then Forge Squad might be worth your time! It is not quite as intuitive as Overcooked; e.g. as humans we know pizza belongs in the oven, but we don't know how to forge runes. However, once you get the hang of it, there are some things about Forge Squad that offers more depth than Overcooked! For example, Forge Squad offers more scope for cooperation than Overcooked. You don't just focus on your own personal task; a number of crafts require multiple players for optimal execution. Nice! Forge Squad doesn't have the budget of Team17's Overcooked. I encountered a game-breaking bug, but I tried again the next day, and the bug was fixed! There are a couple of rough edges, but there is a lot of fun to be had here. I played with a group of 3, using PS4 controller. We were soon screaming and laughing at each other as we fell into rivers or dropped runes into ponds, and it felt great to use teamwork to defeat the boss. Nice game! I hope the wizards continue to polish and add content

Ein sehr lustiges Spiel mit amüsantem Dialekt in Deutscher aussprache. :3 Ähnelt Overcooked / 2 oder Tools Up! Die Schwierigkeit müsste noch der Spieler anzahl angepasst werden aber ansonsten sehr witziges kleines spiel, das gerne für zwischendurch oder auch als Partyspiel gut wirken kann. :P

Great game to play with friends! I've played the first 3 levels on hard difficulty with 2 other friends, but we will definitely continue playing all levels. Pro: - Fun and hectic gameplay - Levels feel unique and bring new challenges - Hard difficulty feels well balanced - Smooth experience overall, no hiccups while playing Negative: - Graphics are outdated, but this does not impact the fun gameplay at all - Some objects were hard to see (like turrets), maybe this could be improved with more contrast or saturation I can recommend this game for everyone who enjoyed Overcooked!
