Ballistic Craft

とにかくショットを作って戦うのが楽しい。 プレイしていると、幼い頃カスタムロボを夢中で遊んだ経験を思い出した。 城の中を探索してバトル相手を探す部分も激闘編を彷彿とさせる。 当時は自分好みのガンがつくれたらなぁ、と夢想したものだ。 それを叶えてくれたこのゲームに感謝したい。 システムはかなり完成されているが、キャラクターデザインなど見た目にキャッチーさがあれば大化けする可能性があるのは惜しいところ。

For the small price tag of 5.99 I think its a pretty fun game. Crafting the spells is pretty interesting and I don't think there are many games on the market that do things like this. It basically consists of choosing between one of four projectile types and changing their size on a scale as well as color, followed by adjusting the path the projectile can take and how much of a curve it has as well as the speed that it moves at. This works on a node system, so you attach a node to your trajectories line and manipulate these things where the node is placed. You can place dozens of nodes on one line (although this does increase the cost of the spell) and create some interesting things, like a flurry of projectiles that stop mid air then suddenly target the enemy all at once at max speed or several projectiles that instead of homing in zigzag or squiggle in a wide area. This is because there is also a timeline that you can place multiple projectiles across, or even set them to release at the same time, however it seems like the distance between bullets on the timeline has an affect on the strength of each bullets homing capabilities. One of my favorite parts of the game is the movement, its pretty fast paced and actually has a lot of mechanical depth to it from animation cancels to high jumps etc. It can be difficult to hit an opponent with good movement and coupled with the perfect block mechanic it can create some really drawn out and exciting fights. The biggest downside is the complete lack of a player base, in the U.S there are no custom games and my queue was endless on a Sunday night. To add to this the a.i isn't really all that great. Some times it will surprise you and land a really big stagger but from my experience they usually let you get up without attacking you for some reason if they do. This even happened fighting extreme difficulty. If you're just looking for something new to screw around with for a few hours I think this is great, I'll probably come back and complete the master arena just for fun.

Super Fun, playing this game feels like you're in a top ten anime fight list. There's a couple of collections you can subscribe to that are pretty EPIC as well :) Too bad the game is dead.
