Trench Run

Somehow smaller playerbase than kag. That means its dead. Any smaller than kag is dead. Like really really dead and rotting. I mean some people say kag is dead. But i say it isnt. So if the woman who says kag isnt dead says this game is dead. You really know its dead.

I'm sorry, Michal, I love your work but this one just isn't quite doing it for me. So something not particularly well addressed in other reviews is, exactly what IS Trench Run? In short, it's sort of a Smash Bros. take on 2D arena combat games like... well, like Soldat. Except it's kind of pared down. You have two real game modes: free-for-all and team play, supporting up to 4 and 8 players respectively. The twist is that nobody ever dies; although you score "kills" for walloping the hell out of another player, it's more like a game of tag. If you're "killed" you're reduced to crawling and hopping around at a gimped rate, and can't attack. If you can snag a random medkit, you're back in the game but the healthier players can and will swipe these to keep them from you. There are all of two modes available: Free-for-all deathmatch, and team play (4 and 8 players respectively). Free-for-all is simply a series of single-screen arenas that will shuffle when one player is left standing, an...

This game is like Gandhi, [spoiler] Gandhi is dead.[/spoiler]

Fast, accessible and completely hilarious mayhem. You have two game modes to choose from and one of the best online multiplayer lobbies I've ever seen in my life. There is the Skirmish mode, which is a free for all single life per round game mode. First to get eight kills wins the match. Second there is the Run mode, two teams try to reach the opposite side of the map. First team to cross, or eliminate the other team, wins. Match is the best of five rounds. There are simple yet distinct classes to choose from, based on classic shooter archetypes. And the lobby is seriously entertaining too. Hang out and chat at the barrista, play a pick up game of 2D basketball, or pick up a fancy outfit or a pet. Of course you can always spend your hard earned winnings the old fashioned way and get hammered at the bar. The game also boasts crisp and responsive controls and totally over the top physics. Round that out with online and local multiplayer with full bot support so you never have to go w...

Okay, so I finally decided to give my thoughts on Trench Run. Here is why this game is not worth it's price tag, and should never be bought for the multiplayer. UPDATE: The game is now half the price that it was when I wrote this review, so maybe take that into account when reading. Additionally, the online servers are officially dead, meaning you can only enjoy this game in Couch Co-Op or P2P Online Multiplayer. [h1]Disappointment[/h1] I really wanted Trench Run to succeed. Honestly. However, it sucks to say that due to awful marketing and general apathy from the developers upon launch, the game died in such a short amount of time, I was not even aware of it. This game probably does not even deserve to be on Steam anymore, as all possibility of it ever being remotely successful (and for the matter, nearly as successful as King Arthurs Gold) has been killed by the developers. On top of that, the game's servers are so barren that the chance of finding a player in any of the 4 avali...

Maybe if it had players, but it doesn't. And the game's forums are plagued with "wait until it comes out on steam, it'll get players then!" sort of posts, which makes it a running problem. It's also an inherently simplistic game, so it won't have staying power.

Great game but cant recomend, as no one plays it.

I will make this short, this game is dead. Do not buy it. The gameplay does not save it. It is too expensive

I was a big fan of King Arthur's Gold, which is what brought me to this game. Overall I feel this game is pretty disappointing. The core game itself is pretty shallow. There are two game modes. One is FFA, and one is Team Battle mode. The games last on average between 2-5 minutes. This game is very fast-paced. You will spend an equal time waiting between matches as you will playing them. The game tries to redeem itself with a lobby area. Here you can buy things with coins (earned from winning games) such as beer, wine, clothes, pets. This part of the game feels pretty tacked on, and is unrelated to the main part of the game. There are not very many people online right now, and filling up games is very difficult. The game seems to be using the exact same engine as KAG, which makes the experience feel more like a cheap reskin than a full new game. I felt the core game to be pretty uninteresting, and you can see the majority of gameplay in about 20 minutes. This game definitely feels li...

great game, dead servers, pity.
