We may sound like the old buggers that we are when we say this but, squad shooters have gotten a lot easier over the years. Back in the day the likes of Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and our personal favourite SWAT 3 pushed more than just a gamer’s reflexes when it came to quashing terrorist/criminal threats. Gamers had to use their brains and genuine tactical nous to overcome scenarios by checking corners, choosing the right equipment and watching carefully for potential flanking manoeuvres in levels which were large, open and full of different combat potential.
For whatever reason, these kinds of experiences slowly faded away with twitch-centric, corridor-orientated Call of Duty-a-likes taking their place, but for one game at least that tide has been turned. Takedown we hope is the first in a new breed of hardcore tactical shooters where one bullet often means the difference between life and death.
Gameumentary: Christian Allen has been working on games since the late nineties. He started his career by developing mods for the Rainbow Six, which ended up landing him a job at Red Storm Entertainment working on the Ghost Recon franchise.
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.
We suit up this tactical bite sized shooter. How does it do?
