Earlier this evening I thought, it's free, why not give it a shot for a few minutes? Now it's 5am. 10/10 would shock trooper again.

Definitly a nice fast paced platform shooter, with a capture point based objective. Random spawning aids which can give you that necessary boost, but be aware your enemies can contest them or even ninja them. The different ants have a very unique playstyle, but all are pretty fun to play. Easy to pick up, but some practice is needed for them to truly shine. Fluent gameplay and overall pretty good designed maps atm. Coulnd't find any actual flaws except for some minor map pathing choices. Comebacks are real too.

Having played earlier versions of Formicide before it was even Greenlit here on Steam. I can tell you that the base of the game itself is simply fun! Watch even the demo video of the game, now imagine some of your guildies and friends from other games inside as your mercielessly trying to destroy each other as awesome super ants! If you want to experience true indie development, not this "We're gonna put in some 8 bit stuff and call it indie and retro" crap that has been plauging steam the last few years now, then give this a shot.

A great, though not well known, game best described as a cross between soldat, tf2 and awesomenaughts, with a charming art style i really enjoy. There are a number of differentr classes which impart their unique influence on the game and are each fun to play. [b]Recently went F2P with no purchases, no cosmetics etc. just free.[/b] I do wonder how the devs will earn their keep on this game, which you can tell has had a lot of care and attention put into it's making. But either way its definately worth a go if you can find some people to play with.

This game is a fast-paced adventure of gun-wielding ANTics. There are tons of classes to master. It could be somewhat better if it focused on turtles with the name Tortoiside or dolphins with the name Porpoiside. Maybe at some point in time there will be an ANThology of several -icide games. Until then, you'll find me online playing!
