One of my favorite games I used to play a lot for quick relax and fun is now going to Kickstarter (the authors remade the game completely with better graphics and code)
For the game itself
- its very simple but very skill based
- you control 4 soldiers from above view
- you place them into certain positions where they can get enemy soldiers into crossfire thus increasing the chances to snipe them
- aside from this, you can rush and "nade" the enemy positions stunning or killing enemy soldiers and then moving forward and killing them at point blank while they're incapacitated
- you can suppress fire on selected positions (then they shoot with lesser accuracy or they don't even shoot at all - and then you usually can rush nade them with lower risk of being sniped)
- there are many other small tricks you can use, alltogether a skilled player can easily pwn or hold his ground against multiple of enemy squads
- there is a chain of command where higher player ranks distribute weapons to their subordinates
- the highest ranked player in the game almost always makes a plan and his subordiantes almost always proceed to execute it
- overall there is a lot of cooperation in the game and it has a very mature playerbase
Ok its demo so some things are not implemented yet, but main features are already working.
Unlike other kickstarter titles the authors managed to create playable demo for the game, so feel free try it out and show the game some love by backing it https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kavagamestudio/call-of-combat
