Glitchrunners

Decided to write a review as this is still being promoted on various bundle sites apparently? Awful Early Access scam of a game. Game has had numerous issues since its EA release, including broken controller support, performance and network issues, etc. Originally advertised as an asynchronous multiplayer versus game, this functionality not only was bugged as all hell, but many users also reported not getting a second copy of the game as was advertised(and expected for the game). You can see these posts getting mostly ignored in the forum, where there hasn’t been a new post since 2016. The game seems to have left EA after adding a bot for what is usually the lone architect; the game is still a buggy mess and in general is not fun to begin with. Its obvious that the least amount of effort was put into this game to continue making a profit. The very short amount of time I have was trying to get the game to a playable state with a friend so we could do the tutorial. Avoid like the plague. Considering that this is the only game Torque Studios is listed as a developer, with GmG Publishing, I would not be surprised if they end up changing names to pull another EA scam again.

I never got the second copy in my inventory. People have been reporting this problem for at least a month now but here has been no response from the developer.

unless you have several people in the room with you and know of at least a second person who can remote connect to you (with a second copy) i cant recommend this game. There is no match making

10/10 would throw a car at my friends again. Really enjoyable party game with friends!

Game looks good in the store page video and screenshots but it's incredibly boring and the made on budget with Unity feeling comes through very strongly. Bought it for multiplayer via SteamLink and the graphics are decent but it's just not fun at all...

I recommend highly, 11/10.

Update: Sadly, this game was abandoned by its developers, who simply vanished. There are no updates or support for this game and thus I can no longer recommend it. Original review: I've been looking for another party game to add to my collection, and I loved the concept immediately upon reading it. The Glitchrunner mode runs on a points system rather than lives: The Architect gets points for killing the runners, the runners get points for wrecking up the place, successfully getting the cube and holding onto the cube. However, I have only tested it with one other player so far, and the game seems pretty heavily stacked in the Architect's favour when they can focus all of their fury on a single target. I recommend you play with as many runners as possible. Overall I imagine this game will bring Mario Party levels of shouting and laughing to my house during a LAN party, particularly after we've all had a few drinks.

Gioco davvero carino se inteso come party game. MA, perché c'è un ma, non mi va proprio giù l'assenza di matckmaking e, sopratutto, la descrizione del gioco e i suoi tag che lo catalogano come gioco di coop locale, ma anche multiplayer multipiattaforma e coop generico. Questo infatti mi ha spinto a comprarlo credendo di acquistare un gioco giocabile anche con degli sconosciuti. Non avendo persone da invitare a casa per giocare una partita sul mio PC, di questo gioco non me ne faccio praticamente nulla. Inoltre, totale assenza di single player, cosa che avrebbero potuto implementare, ALMENO QUELLA, con della IA che non rende tale acquisto un totale spreco di denaro. Comprendo il concept di party game, ma moltissimi giochi, alla fine, hanno optato quantomeno per una connessione peer to peer e una chat per scambarsi gli IP, così da poter giocare di più. Attualmente infatti si connettono saltuariamente massimo 3 persone (dati di Steamdb) e questo fa capire il successo del gioco che, ripeto, CON DEL MATCHMAKING SAREBBE DIVINO. Purtroppo hanno già detto che non pianificano minimamente di mettercelo in un futuro nè prossimo nè remoto. Se non avete della gente per casa e due pc disponibili (si, per giocarci ti servono 2 pc), LASCIATELO STARE. Spendete soldi altrove.

this game is buggy and just plain doesnt work

Fix the Rolling glitch and I might actually be able to play the game. Idk if it's just because I was using an Xbox controller (though the controller map visual implied that I'm suppose to be), or because of another controller driver that was interfering, but the fact that controls cant be remapped or anything to maybe give the player a chance to fix it themselves is also kind of frustrating. Powerless to fix it until the game gets patched, and until then it really isn't worth spending a cent on. And lastly, the promise of controlling the Architect through iOS is cool except I can't find any kind of app related to this game on the app store, and I couldnt find any kind of directions or actual screenshots of how to get that working. Cool enough game concept for me to even care to write a review, but too many issues for me to give a good one. Glitchrunners unfortunately lives up to its name.
