For developer Plastic Piranha the road to creating Rekoil is paved by a mod story. We played several rounds with the company’s CEO Jason Brice, whose business sense comes from a background in working with films, while his eye for mechanics comes from the experiencing the best that the shooter genre has to offer and creating content within other highly refined games.
GG3 shows off some of the games on sale on Steam that aren't advertised. Once more, 505 Games dumps its games. Takedown is back at a 90% discount, a month after it did the same. Rekoil is 80% off and it hasn't been out for two months. Unrelated: The War Z is also 90% off.
In this review, Jeff discusses the extreme negative experiences he had with the game. Glitches with the installation, buggy graphics, unbalanced guns, and much more - unfortunately.

"Maybe I’m just showing my age here, but modern FPS multiplayer just feels like an endless grind that doesn’t treat its players like sportsman but proverbial donkeys being driven by a carrot on a stick. All of this unlocking and perks for money or time has created a playing field that’s about as level as a cliff face and as inviting as a minefield to new players. There’s no real reward for being good at these games, only for having played it the longest or invested the most money.
When I first played Rekoil a couple of months ago at an event for 505’s upcoming digital offerings it felt like the game had been constructed with old (censored) like me in mind. In the hour or so that I played it, I had a lot of fun and remember how loud and satisfying the game’s weapons were. So when I was offered a review copy I jumped at the chance. However since my PC is in desperate need of an upgrade I had to settle for the XBLA version."
