About Fire for Effect

The city is under bombardment. You cannot stop their siege. But with your gun and the few defenses remaining you can delay the inevitable for a few more hours, and give the last few remaining survivors a chance to escape.
You play as a survivor wielding a detached heavy artillery piece. This is your only weapon, but its shells can knock the enemy's shells into each other, potentially causing a chain reaction that can wipe the screen of enemies.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Fire for Effect is an endless strategic shooter that starts strong with gradually introduced mechanics but quickly runs out of creative content and variety. Players appreciate its initial charm and strategic elements, but criticize the slow movement speed, lack of platforming, repetitive gameplay loop, and overall simplicity that feels more suited to a mobile game, with some finding little difference between the demo and full release. While one player sees potential if refined further, most feel the game loses its appeal rapidly after the first hour.

Not recommended Jun 24, 2020

By far one of the worst titles I've played in recent memory. The worst of this game comes after the first few levels. After completion level become increasingly more difficult and you have to relay on your gathering abilities. The gunfire is not where my problems originates, it is the speed at which you walk and the lack of platform hopping.

[i]Fire for Effect[/i] is an endless strategic shooter that slowly introduces players to new mechanics, level by level, until looping with no more variety or gimmicks. This product is not terrible, but it is so simple that it seems like it belongs on the Google Play Store, as it quickly loses creativity after just an hour of gameplay. This is the first time I have seen no difference between a game's demo and its full release version.

Recommended Jan 17, 2024

A lot of odd design decision, but I didn't get bored the first few minutes so I would say it's got some charm. When it's refined further I think it's a gem.
