Still, it feels good to switch it up to the machine gun-like Ravager or the rocket launcher. I kept the weapons I enjoyed most in a constant cycle, however the starting weapon can almost take you through entire matches.
Each weapon has its own dynamics, with alternate fire available for some. The nine weapons in the game feel very good. There are also health and shield pick-ups on all of the maps, as well as “Strength” pick-ups, which allow you to do 2X damage for a limited time. There are jump pads that move you around quickly, and with the already quick pace, these battles get very hectic. I found myself never standing in one place, unless I was waiting for a flag to respawn. The nine maps are very diverse, with different levels of depth, leading to some intense firefights. You also have a bot training mode, worth nothing to your overall player score, but it helps you learn the maps and the weapons faster for when you get into the thick of it. The two modes are Capture the Flag and Team Death match. Despite the streamlined offerings, Nexuiz still offers players the diversity they crave.
There is a limited arsenal with minimal variations, but what the game offers is loads of fun, making every match play differently. This sets the stage for some fast, fierce, online skirmishes.Īdding to this simplicity is the fact that the game has only two modes, nine maps and nine weapons, and all of these with just two teams of four. All you need to know is that the two factions in the game, the Kavussari and the Forsellians are battling for entertainment. There is no real story, again keeping it simple. It’s simple to get into a match, and once you start rolling the game goes. The game takes this idea and runs with it, while adding its own twist to leave a footprint in the sand of the online marketplace.įirst off: the game is simple, but that is far from a bad thing. ILLFONIC decided to throw another one into the mix with Nexuiz, an XBLA online shooter than hearkens back to these good times of violent, online arenas. People loved these games, dug into them and wouldn’t put them down. Quake and Unreal Tournament are names that get thrown around because of nostalgia. I am a little young to remember the “good old days” of online shooters. A classic shooter style, in a modern age.
