Build Wars is not really a game, it's a 3D "building" game that's a visual ripoff of Minecraft, but with all the Minecraft gameplay removed. Instead you construct a 3D voxel structure and then that gets judged by other players who decide if it's good or not. Highest rated structure wins. So if this game was judged on the same merits, it would be a loser. As a purported "multiplayer" "game", this doesn't have any players. SteamDB shows the game only had 23 players building stuff at launch and they only stayed for a couple of hours. Immediately after, player counts dropped to just 1-2 players logging on once or twice a week, and just for a few minutes, probably to see that this isn't actually a game or anything and then deleting it. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy low-polygon voxel "Minecraft"-like "art", making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. A lot of amateur developers see Minecraft's success and assume it's because it looks bad, not because it had unique and appealing game mechanics, and they try to emulate the success without understa…

Игра "Build Wars" оказалась приятным сюрпризом! Затягивает с первых минут благодаря динамичным раундам и простоте освоения. Концепция, где нужно быстро возводить конструкции по заданным темам, одновременно мешая соперникам, невероятно увлекательна. Разнообразие блоков и предметов добавляет тактический элемент, позволяя не только строить быстрее, но и стратегически использовать доступные ресурсы. Особенно порадовала система уровней и наград, стимулирующая продолжать играть и открывать новые возможности. Иногда, конечно, встречаются игроки с впечатляющей скоростью строительства, но это лишь подстёгивает улучшать свои навыки. Интерфейс интуитивно понятен, а красочная графика радует глаз. В целом, "Build Wars" – отличная игра для тех, кто ищет быструю и веселую соревновательную аркаду. Рекомендую всем, кто любит строить и соревноваться! Единственное, хотелось бы больше уникальных тем для строительства и, возможно, кооперативный режим с друзьями.
