Plain Sight: Suicidal Ninja Robots.

[Scorch!]

I was referred to the game via a clan-mate, and its a great little game, and well worth the $2 (or $1.50 if you buy a four pack and gift.) that it currently is being sold at.

Personally I think the name for the game is horrible, it should simply have been called what it is: Suicidal Ninja Robots.

Great fun, trippy, fast-paced and very much simple to learn hard to master type gameplay.

EDIT: Steam sale over. DOH!
EDIT2: Gamersgate sale over as well now.

Is this a thread for discussion of the game? Or just to tell us about the price? Because if it's the second, you should toss it up here.

 

[Scorch!]

Both really. But I was intending to modify the thread name after it goes off sale so no biggie.

Got it free on blue coins, haven't D/Led it yet, though it looks quite good.

 

[gamerwiz09]

I feel cheap, because since yesterday I've been asking myself if it's worth $2...

 

[Scorch!]

A bunch of us mumbler's have it Sushi, so hit us up a game when you feel like it.

I like how the game almost has that same "duel" style gameplay as warband does when you come up against someone.

 

[gamerwiz09]

****. I suppose I have to buy it. In fact, I'll prolly buy the 4 pack.

 

[Archonsod]

Search much?

 

[Scorch!]

I did say that this was a thread for talking about the game as well, and I am going to change the thread name after the sale. So....

Read much?

I have it, but it has this stutter/freeze lag every second, so it is unplayable.

 

[Qwertyman]

But how does it PLAY?  apart from the visual style it looks pretty generic tbh

I think the best way to sum it up, in a 'X with X' way, is to quote Kieron Gillen:

"It's Top Gear with jumping ninja robots.'

Basically, the jumping's fun, very satisfying. All the while, you've got to lock onto people, and then charge them. To actually gain points, you have to die by destroying your reactor. An extra layer of detail is added in by the chance to take out others when you explode. So, you might find yourself thinking "Do I want to explode and forego extra points, or shall I wait just a second longer to draw this guy in, and risk getting killed?"

You grow in size due to the amount of kills you get, making your an easy target the longer you survive.

Bonus points for killing others in your explosion too.
Also, it's down at pennies on GamersGate for those opposed to Steam.

The steam sale is done like a dinner. Sorry for those who missed out.

It is currently still $2 via Gamersgate, so get it thar!
