Developers Virtual Basement bring the childhood pastime of backyard warfare with plastic army men into the modern era with Unreal Engine 4.
Cade writes - "I love the smell of burnt plastic in the morning. Lucky for me, and everyone else in the world, The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare is here. Though it has been available on PC through Steam for several years, the action-packed, multiplayer, 3rd-person shooter created by Virtual Basement is now aiming to throw Xbox One and PS4 players into the fray."
The Mean Greens is a colorful action-packed online third person shooter from the perspective of toy soldiers! Join matches of up to 10 players to jump, shoot, and roll your way into victory. The game features 21 unique map layouts set in 15 locations throughout a full scale home. Fight in close quarters inside a freezer or jump into a buggy and cruise along sand dunes in a sandbox.
The nostalgia from Army Men 3D is hitting me hard with this one. Such good times. Can't believe it took so long to get another plastic army man game. Would love to see the Army Men 3D series return too.
This looks great. I like that they tried something a little different with the game modes
I had never heard of it on PC before. It has great feedback on steam just seems the community has died a bit.
Gamespot:
Little green army men were a staple in many kids' toy boxes, including my own. They were iconic and fun, and they came to life in two hugely popular ways in the '90s: Pixar's Toy Story and video games. Developer Virtual Basement tries to feed off this nostalgia in The Mean Greens - Plastic Warfare. It works at first, with green army men coming to life and running into battle on a cluttered arts and crafts table. However, The Mean Greens fails to offer an experience that lives up to the rose-tinted memories of imaginary battles with the toys that inspired it.
