Flag N Frag

Imagine that your task is to describe a Commodore 64 game in an alternate reality where every single Commodore 64 game was purged from existence. Now imagine that, instead of spending an hour writing a bunch of words that people will willfully misinterpret, or filming a tedious hour-long Youtube vlog that nobody is going to watch, you get on your Steam client, navigate to Flag N Frag, and launch it. Imagine your audience experiencing the incredible music, the blocky yet colorful and functional graphics, the gameplay that is vaguely similar to modern gaming yet at the same time odd and vestigial, and the fact that this game is not nearly as fun as you'd imagine, infer, or remember, as the case may be. Congratulations. You've done it. Because this game is the very archetype of a C-64 game. The music is absolutely incredible, it's just a pity that the game itself completely falls apart due to its reliance on a "battle mode" that's far too fast-paced and chaotic for a human to do well at, and far too simple for the computer AI. Imagine Pong played at ten times the speed, and you have to hit a button in order to actually deflect the ball. Even against another human it'd be more "goofy…

I found all the characters on the game to be an excellent addition to the lore of the game. Sound while often repetitive had me feeling nostalgic, feeling like I was 8 years old playing with my Sega listening to 8 bit music with a fresh new twist. GAMEPLAY: The core gameplay centers around a board where 4 teams compete to dominate the board with flags that can be captured as long as they are blank or unlocked. Walk right over a flag and get a point, or challenge an opponent to a game of futuristic pong and try to "Frag" him/her to get coins and get a point for fragging them or also sc…

2/10

This is a console ported retro pixel 2D "sports" game where you fight over flags and throw balls around. No 4K support, hideous, I mean really hideous retro pixel graphics, console-like controls, no mouse support! But you have a reticle you need to move, so you have to use arrow keys like a caveman. There's no excuse for this shoddiness.
