PCG:It’s funny to think that we now live in a world where you have to specify, “No, the other voxel-based competitive shooter.” Guncraft, from Exato Game Studios, follows on the heels of Ace of Spades in marrying Minecraft-style buildable/destructible environments with team-based and free-for-all multiplayer gunplay. I strapped on my geometric wargear and headed into the player-created trenches to see what it was all about.
Didn't get that one game you really wanted for Christmas? If the spot under your tree isn't overflowing with game boxes, there's still a bunch of sales going this weekend to finish out the year and increase your collection!
Cubed:
Minecraft. That's the first thought that enters the mind when playing Guncraft. For most players the comparison will be immediate and obvious: voxels, blocks, a minepick, constructible-destructible levels, even the textures. It's not an unfair comparison. The developer itself, Exato Game Studios, has cited the game's influence. The game even allows for the importing of Minecraft levels into Guncraft, although the user can also craft levels with Guncraft's engine. What differentiates this game from that one, though?
Guns. That's the second thing the player notices when playing Guncraft. Lead spitting, blood splattering, head popping guns…and tanks…and hoverbikes…and helicopters…and AC-130 gunships...The idea should be obvious by now: Guns + Minecraft equals Guncraft.
Review for Guncraft which just hit Xbox 360 bringing all the fun of a modern shooter into the block building world of a voxel builder. Destroy blocks while also firing away at enemies in a number of modes in this online multiplayer game
I can't add tags at the moment since I keep getting an application error, will attempt to do so later. Please don't mark me down for it since it's out of my control
