From the review, "I love games like Super Smash Bros, which add in quirky humor to the fun of ridiculous and fairly epic fights. I also love puzzle games like Tetris, where the really fun aspect of the game is just playing it and figuring out how to last. It’s different styles and motivations of play. One’s the extrinsic motivation surviving a fight, while the other’s an intrinsic motivation based in playing for its own sake. There is one thing to wonder about. Would the two formats actually mix well?
Slam Bolt Scrappers plays a lot like a test of this mixture, while also being a full game."
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.
