The Rise of Chubtan

The Rise of Chubtan gives eager players another excuse to let out their aggression on friends in a local deathmatch game. While the Mayan setting stands out, the foretold apocalypse must not have been caused by too much in-game content. Chubtan doesn’t rise so much as he kind of just leans up.

The chief cause of failure is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst multiplayer centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game failed to reach any kind of critical mass and died as a result. Let's go into some of the reasons this particular game failed to appeal to gamers, despite the zero up front cost. On the topic of visuals, the weak looking 2D retro assets seem like they'd be more at home in a browser game or a mobile app. 3D graphics accelerators hit the m…
