Build and brawl in this fast and frantic mash-up! Race your opponents to build the most powerful towers in Slam Bolt City while defending against deceptively adorable baddies and hugely epic bosses.
Slam Bolt Scrappers is a strange game. Strange in an interesting way. The basic premise is that you have a building area and your opponent has a building area. You then fight over crates which can be dropped in your own building area in a sort of psuedo-tetris way. When these crates are arranged into square shapes they form turrets that shoot at the other player’s turrets. Oh! And there’s different coloured crates for different types of turrets. Also there’s ninjas and giant robots. Got all that? Good.
Gamesta.com has yet another round of PC deals for frugal gamers. The latest comes from Groupees and their Be Mine 8 Bundle promotion that packs a ton of games for a low price. Just a buck will get you 4 games already, like the recently released Slam Bolt Scrappers. With $5 or more, you'll get Blood Bowl and more as well.
"The object of Slam Bolt Scrappers is to destroy your opponent's tower before he destroys yours. The thing is, you can't do the damage yourself (well, not without a power-up anyway), so it's up to you to build weapons and gadgets to both defense and to give yourself an offensive edge. Both weapons and gadgets are created when you successfully create a block of 4 or more of the same coloured blocks and with one exception are controlled automatically. Now, this would be all well and good if all you had to do was just stack blocks and hope for the best, but no, you have to fight little monsters to gain the blocks, and aside from the colour of the enemy you have no idea what shape of block you're going to get." - Shane Peltzer of Geekenstein.com
