Trench Run

I really want to like this game. Its visuals have a charme that is appealing to me, but: (at first, but this is a one time negative: Fullscreen does not run with Windows 10 without deactivating "High DPI Mode". Once you fixed that, it's fine.) - The game's menu is not controllable without a keyboard: Want to play in your livingroom? Always have to connect your keyboard - Controllers are buggy. We always had one controller controling two players at the same time. Making this not playable with 4 players. - The game's controlscheme consists of 2 buttons + a joystick. While this is not necessarily bad, I feel that lots of opportunities are missed here. - 0 configuration offered: Always play until 8 points. That's it. We couldn't even disable bots. Sorry. I loved King Arthur's Gold and even though I knew this would be simpler, it did not deserve the blind trust I had in the studio.

It's fun. Now let's wait for KAG2

Maybe if it goes free to play there'll be enough players to finally play one round of this. ;_;

It really is dead at this point. No servers available in any region. Fun'ish against AI; for about 5 minutes. Avoid unless you have local co-op available and then only if you have nothing better to do.

A truly enjoyable game, this. It's actually really quite fun sometimes, with the "no death" rule, because you still get affected by others' attacks in (rather unpredictable) ways, and of course you only need one medkit to get back up and fighting. This can lead to situations such as getting hit by a grenade whilst "downed" that sends you flying off of one side of the map only to appear on the other side (another nice feature) and land on a health crate, conveniently right in range of an enemy. You of course kill said enemy, leading to plenty of laughs from the both of you! Of course, this works so much better when you're playing with friends, but since the community is small right now (few days after launch), you can make friends easily. Of course there's also the little mentioned feature of getting absoultely WASTED - in game. Get drunk as all hell and then try shooting straight you damn sniper, you, I'll bet you can't fricken do it twice! You might not have much luck with your demolitions missiles, either... Honestly, my only "issue" is the lack of appeal to the Medic class in Run games. In case you're unaware, Trench Run has the "Skirmish" mode, and the "Run" mode. Skirmish is a 4 player gamemode where you simply shoot the hell out of each other in small, screen-sized maps, it's essentially just a 1v1v1v1 deathmatch, and any class except Medic is available to use. Run, however, is a 10 player gamemode with larger maps, and it's based on cooperation. It's a 5v5 where you either wipe out the other team, or you reach their "spawn" side before they reach yours. The Medic is available here but there's not much appeal to it. Your primary action is blocking with a shield, and your secondary is throwing out ammo to allies, and you passively heal downed allies. Not much fun if you want to blow people up.

this game is pretty dook

This game is what i strive to be. dead.

Trench Run is a 2D multiplayer shooter that is exclusively about shooting people, blowing them up, and having fun in the process The gameplay is very simple: you control your characters using only only 2 buttons and direction keys (you could play with a NES controller), the maps are small, there's no story, no base-building, no leveling system… You can immediately buy the game, join a server and blow stuff up. The game is very fast paced, with explosions all over the place, corpses flying across the map, buildings getting blown up, it's very hectic and hilarious to see. There are 5 classes available that play quite differently: - the assault has an automatic rifle and grenades - the demolition has a rocket launcher and C4 - the commando has a knife, flash grenades, can climb walls and defuse C4 - the sniper has a sniper and can camouflage - the medic, only available in “Run” mode, has a shield, ammo boxes, and can revive his teammates There are 2 game modes: Run and Skirmish. Skirmish is self-explanatory, it's 4 players trying to kill each other, the player with the most kills win. Run is a team vs team mode where the goal is to run to the other end of the map while dodging enemies and killing them. There's a bit of tactic involved : you can try to be sneaky, hiding in a bush or using a flash grenade, or defend a strategical corridor from a window, or be a medic and help your teammates with ammo and health. Outside of the 2 main modes there's a lobby where players can meet in between matches, chat, play basketball, buy pets and costumes and drink beers. There could easily be new modes, maps and even classes created for the game as it's entirely moddable, and you can run your own private servers. So this game is awesome, but it has a population problem. There's generally always someone to play with, but the most I've seen online was 6 players and sometimes I have to wait 10 minutes in the lobby for someone to connect. You can still play with bots, they're not too bad, but playing with real people is obviously way more fun. If you're lucky and have irl friends who are into fun games, you could play with them in local multiplayer too (up to 4 players).

Great game, but non existant playerbase sadly.

First impression scuked , will play if it reaches kag levels of decent.
