Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 8.8
  • 8Honestly I would give to this game a 9 if it has activity in development... and if it had some more balance in weapons shop. As a game, it has aproximally 8.6/10 (9) as how it's in 0.99c 2. but the inactivity in development and some considerable unbalance at weapons, lowers the rate to 7.7 (8)
  • 7As far as Scorched Earth clones go, this one is not bad. Graphics and music are both well done. My only complaint (and it's a big one) is that this game needs a much greater and more balanced variety of weapons. There may be tons of them but most are just variations of a basic, circular explosion.
  • 10Very nicely polished. I love the anime/manga inspired cartoon graphics and the funny text bubbles. It's a bit unfair to be killed by one of the more powerful weapons before you get to fire a single shot. Maybe it should be made impossible to fire those in the first round?
