Hammerwatch Review

What this game has to do with hammers, I have no idea. But it's fricken fun as hell!

You start off as either a paladin, wizard, warlock, or archer. A bridge breaks behind you and the main purpose is to find a way to escape. You fight monsters and huge friggen hard as hell bosses! You can do this with your attacks and skills, which you can upgrade with traders along the map. You learn combo's, increase defense and offense, and even buy more lives. Each upgrade makes your gameplay experience just a little smoother.

These guys are fricken annoying!

This is a hack and slash game, and basically, that's all you do. Hack, and slash. I usually play as a wizard or archer, because they are ranged, and use my skills and attacks to annihilate hordes of enemies. Try not to die though, because if you run out of lives, you have to start all the way from the beginning of the whole game!

You can play this game either with the keyboard, or a controller. Personally, I suggest investing in a Sixaxis paired with Motoninjoy, that way I am able to play like it's a real game. It also runs so much smoother on a controller as well. And the best part is, it's multiplayer! You get to play with up to 4 of your friends, or just random people, and play to your hearts content.

Now this game didn't have the best launch. The Multiplay still to this day has bugs, but once you do get it to work, it works wonderfully. All characters in game share the same number of lives. so if you only have 8 lives, and your partner dies 7 times, you need a new partner.

I would suggest this game to anybody who is interested in playing. I personally spend several hours playing this game when i get the chance. So if you like it, it'd be addicting.
