5-minute matches filled with sublime skill-based plays
Damn.
I really have my work cut out for me with this one.
It looks like a online window-based game, and it is.
But goodness me, is there more going on here than meets the eye.
As I’ve made abundantly clear ever since I joined RPS, battle royales are my jam.
It’s Worms, but with tanks.
It’s free to play.
And I absolutely cannot stop playing it.
You and 34 other players drop into the same side-scrolling map filled with random chunks of destructible terrain.
Each player controls a tank that can stick to and drive along any surface, even upside down.
It’s incredibly straightforward, and every bit as fun as it sounds.
Here’s one such play I made earlier that scored me a triple-kill.
It took a whole team of first responders to unclench my arsecheeks after this one.
But there’s a good reason: like the worlds of Worms, the terrain here is completely destructible.
Shoot a rocket into the ground and it’ll eat a huge chunk out of the terrain.
Shoot a nuke or a cluster missile at a nearby wall, and suddenly it’s unrecognisable.
But I prefer to completely ignore all that.
And with the ability to collect new weapons over the course of a match, nothing ever feels unfair.
I’ve been playing Rocket Bot Royale onSteam, but it’s also available to playin-net web surfer.
