The Showdown Effect

[NearLifeExperience]

So I just picked up this neat little game on Steam. It's a quick paced, no-nonsense online multiplayer arena brawler, kind of SSB'ish with loads of shooty action. I gotta say, it's pretty fun! Only problem is, so few people play it. I don't think this game is getting the attention it deserves.

Do any of you play this, and if not, would you be interested?

I did borrow it at launch and in true Arrowhead the game was bugged to all hell, which is sort of fine if you are doing single player and you can still cheese your way around things but this being strictly competitive multiplayer made it near unusable.
Also wasn't pleasant to see the game was released content incomplete, yet already came with a fully fleshed out store of it's own and DLC, so they didn't take time to finish the product we pay for but they put it into DLC mechanics... that is just plainly bullshit.

The game concept is actually very neat, more visually then mechanically, particularly disliked how guns only hit people you hover over with your mouse and nothing else that stands in the shower of bullets and that sometimes also meant bullets would ignore walls and still hit you.
I love Arrowhead because they always do something out of the ordinary, but the way Paradox has them do business as of late keeps me away.

I got a little interested when it was compared to Super Smash Bros. I lost all interest when I watched the video and realized that being a 2D multiplayer focused game was pretty much the only thing it shared with Super Smash Bros.


Judging by what Mr. K is saying about it I think I will stay a long way from this game.
