Hybrid Wars

I kind of wonder why Wargaming has delisted this game from Steam all together. But safe to say that this title flopped hard and there are good reasons why. Hybrid Wars just sucked. A top down shooter with some of the budget from the World of Tanks guys should be a no brainer. Not a big hit, but something that could have been loved by a lot of people. Unfortunately, this is just terrible. A big part of that are broken animation and quiet sound design. In a shooter like this, having nice explosions and good gun sounds can take it to the next level. But the sound here was extremely cheap. I can Google royalty free sound effects and get better ambience. Like I said, a lot of animations were downright broken. Destruction felt... off. In fact, everything felt off. The controls, the voice acting, the field of view. And then the gameplay.. which was boring af. There is no real reason to be worried about vehicles being destroyed, because if you walked off screen, another one would spawn. That's how little effort went into balancing and gameplay design. This was from a time when Wargaming was in the works of becoming more than just the World of Tanks/Warships team. With the Master of Orion reboot and projects such as these and Pagan Online. Alas, they forgot that to succeed, you need good games. Hybrid Wars defintely isn't a good game and although my principles are against deleting games (if they left or weren't part of Early Access), this was such a big flop that you can't blame them.
