WindStrike Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/ Freeware game coming onto Steam in a few days, top-down shooter that goes up to 4 player co-op and looks like it could be a bit of fun. Anyone else thinking of getting into it so we get a party or two together for some bug hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drop Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I wouldn't mind getting into it if I thought my computer could handle it at all. I played the original Alien Swarm mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 back when it was new, so this will probably be at least as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 If it is indeed free, I will certainly get it -- I enjoyed the 2k4 mod as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoopyFrood Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'll give it a shot. It reminds me of Alien Syndrome (the old arcade one). I just hope my computer can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 how the hell do you prepurchase a freeware game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtuse Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I am highly looking forward to this game. I played the UT2K4 mod in my freshman year of college back in 2004. Maybe this game will put a dent into the huge Borderlands craze. I love borderlands btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaif Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Wow that looks like fun. Especially with Co-op. I'll jump in. Looks like it should be available in 4 hours or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalcyonSpirit Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Also installing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi22 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'd be installing if the Steam servers weren't being dicks. Anyway, I'll be up for some organized play once they decide to let me download the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Tried the solo training, seems neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 i'm going to try to get it, as soon as the steam servers let me. looks really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drop Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yeah, I'm trying to install it, too, and Steam isn't exactly cooperating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissidia Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Downloading it atm, at 51%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm getting the hang of it, really hard to tell what's going on sometimes since the camera feels too zoomed in and you'll have projectiles shooting from off-screen, and it's very easy to get friendly fire. All in all it seems like some proper old school, really unforgiving game design with limited resources and no Call of Duty health regen bullshit.

Skyline Drop Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Doesn't look like I can run it, as suspected. Darn. Was kind of looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Pretty good, though I got killed by a teammate today and was promptly chided for getting in his way. It's always a good idea to announce when you're going to use a mining laser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 My install failed the first time, and now the severs have been too busy for the last few hours, so I haven't had a chance to retry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... try playing with a teammate who spins around while using the Flamethrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drop Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Finally got it up and running, if only at about 7 or 8 frames per second. Feels a lot like the original Alien Swarm, which is not at all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yeah... try playing with a teammate who spins around while using the Flamethrower. I did. I was in that game. He set us all on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I played through it twice in a row, I'm level 15, and yeah it took 4 hours, the game is short. I hope they add more campaigns. It's already longer and more enjoyable than left 4 dead though. x_x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC123 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 This game looks good. The problem is that I don't have enough HD space to play it! GRRR!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
