MECHAJAMMER XBOX PATCH
Death sends you back to a hospital bed where a sarcastic droid awaits to patch you up once more. It is important to command your recruits. Of course, it always runs out and becomes hard to find in the tensest of situations! Thankfully there are other handheld weapons such as swords, spiked clubs as well as throwables to carry on your killing spree.Ĭombat is hard and while you are sometimes lured into a false sense of security by the real-time movement, this is not a hack and slash game, therefore you will die if you try and take on a mob without taking your time to plan your tactics. While the awesome sound of the laser guns is immensely satisfying you are limited by the amount of ammo. When it comes to weapons there is all manner of items that can be found when searching nearby crates, lockers, and dead bodies as well as bought. Again you just point and click while your enemy moves with you. Unlike games such as X-COM, I did not spot any limitation of movement that you can take nor any expenditure on points that you can use. Very quickly you are introduced to combat which places down a turn-based grid onto the floor that you can navigate tactically to take out the enemy. At certain times you can also drive the conversation using selectable responses to learn more. The ability to move slowly, crouch, and also pick up and drop bodies is very handy when trying to be stealthy!Ĭharacter interaction comes across in a comic text way while larger interactions fill the screen with the person’s face. Shadows and undergrowth are used to your advantage as you use them to covertly move. Large swathes of dark areas appearing and melting into the abyss as you walk along. Depending on where you are looking in the game affects what you can see. Using the mouse you simply point and click and your character makes their way to the position. The tutorial guided me through the beginning movements set inside the isometric 80s style grungey world. The general idea of Mechajammer is to survive and escape. Starting a new game I initially woke up inside a building to be given a gun by a colleague who beckoned me to be careful. Remember to check out your back story, or even create your own!

There is a DnD element to the stats and throughout the game, there are dice rolls to see if you are successful or not when undertaking events/decisions. Abilities and buffs are seemingly affected by age, previous job, and your type of birth. In the beginning, you can either choose from a pre-made character or create your own, there are a host of customisable options. I played the Mechajammer demo therefore elements of the gameplay are limited in some respects, however, it still allows you to get an overall feel for the game. Let’s do this then and don’t forget to check out my other articles here on Thumb Culture! Kill or be killed.
