Slam Bolt Scrappers

I owned this game on the PS3, i think it still holds up as one of the best Tetromino style games

Very fun game. Awesome to play with friends but the mechanics are also fun enough for a few solo rounds.

Tags: Casual - Brickbreak&Pinball Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Splitscreen tetris, local co-op, couch combat game with SCHMUP elements. Akward tower building with modules that fight each other battle royale style. This is a tetris VS game with SCHMUP elements where you hunt down small NPC for tetris pieces and combine color of pieces together to create modules for a vertical tower. Modules have an effect (e.g. fire rockets) every few seconds and the goal is to raze the foe's tower. Nobody I played this with every appreciated having to multitask the tetris with the combat. They just feel like two different mental processes that compete with each other rather than complement each other. Having to play five levels single player to unlock local co op was also an unwelcome surprise. Removed for declutlter.

Building "weapons" (read: turrets that attack your opponent's turrets) by matching blocks is somewhat satisfying, but the game doesn't really feel like it goes anywhere with it in the single player. Half the weapon types feel useless, and the combat for your own character feels button mashy, even if there are a few combos. I have a feeling it's the kind of thing that would work better against real people (and it does have local multiplayer I haven't tried), but whether it would turn out to have more depth than I've seen or devolve into punching each other in the face while throwing blocks around randomly, I can't tell.

If you want to get crazy you might like this game, because you have to fight and at the same time build your Tetris empire. Sadly, I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted but if you want to pass the time you might like this game.

A pretty fun party game. :)
