Little Racers STREET Review: Size Does Not Matter
Co-Optimus Founder Developing an Indie Game
Hazardous Software wants gamers to put up $30 or their hard earned cash for the new RTS title, Achron. With a clever time travel mechanic, the game brings something new to the table, but is it enough to warrant the steep indie price tag? See for yourself and watch the latest Armless Octopus video review. This review is based on the single-player portion of the game.
Achron was provided for review by Hazardous Software. It is available for $29.99 on Steam.
Developer LocoPuyo has melded something which can be seen as a combination of StarCraft and Geometry Wars. The similarities shared between Pwnage of Empires and StarCraft are instantly made clear: players have engineers which mine resources such as gas and rocks, construct buildings such as barracks, and develop “boss” ships similar to the battlecruiser with the overpowered Yamato cannon seen in StarCraft. Even the buildings and vehicles look similar. Furthermore, each vehicle has an avatar portrait perhaps belonging to a developer or friend, and the engineers have voiceovers which I found amusing.
I find the cover art to be a bit misleading too, as it appears to be a woman wielding an assault rifle, regardless of the fact that no combat on foot ever takes place in the game. You might go in expecting one experience, only to find out that it is something else entirely.
