WARMONGER:45

Cons: 1. Once you're in a game, you can't go back to the main menu screen. You have to close the game, then re-open it. 2. You can't change your settings in-game. You have to go back to the main menu through closing and reopening the game to change them. 3. You can't change your in game sensitivity in the settings, nor can you change your keybinds. 4. There is a visual bug in the settings that makes it seem like your settings reset itself, even though your changes saved. For example, if you turn your volume down, then go back to turn it up, the bar will be all the way up as if you never turned it down. 5. The music in the main menu is a repeat of a 10 second loop. The music isn't bad for a main menu screen, but it gets irritating fast. Positives 1. Good stylized graphics

It's from Neumont College of Computer Science in Salt Lake City, Utah. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The students were taught, incorrectly, that "PvP IS content" so they assumed players will make themselves into content for the game, rather that creating…

needs work but i like the style. worth a few minutes for the price of free

terrible

WARMONGER:45 is a surprisingly ambitious multiplayer shooter, and I liked how much it tries to do with the idea of large scale futuristic warfare. The setting imagines a world where rival superpowers are sending enhanced soldiers and advanced machines into massive battles, and I found the scale of the matches immediately appealing. It has a very different feeling from a small arena shooter because the battlefield is supposed to feel like a real conflict rather than a collection of tiny firefights. The class system is one of my favorite parts. I can choose from roles such as assault, engineer, medic and sniper, with each one contributing something different to the team. I enjoyed having to think about what my side actually needed instead of always picking the same type of character. Engineers can create defensive positions, medics can keep people alive and assault characters can support the push forward, so teamwork becomes important. I also liked the way the game's weight system affects movement and weapon handling. Different classes and equipment can change how heavy my character is, which in turn affects things like speed, stamina and weapon sway. It is a simple idea, but I fou…
