Review: Plain Sight
Plain sight is a steam multiplayer focused game about English Suicidal Robot Ninja Warriors.
It sounds crazy but wow, it's fun. Unfortunately almost no-one is on the multiplayer servers so I was playing on bot matches for this review.
The gameplay is focused around gaining energy from other robots by destroying them. the more energy they had at the time, the more energy you get when you turn them into scrap. Energy makes you bigger, stronger, able to jump further and change colour. It also makes you a bigger target. When you have gathered the right amount of energy, you can explode, adding the energy points to your score and giving you bonus points for taking robots with you in the explosion. The more energy you have, the bigger the explosion.
The controls are pretty simple, once you have a blue targeting reticle over a robot, hold down left mouse button to power up your charge attack. When the targeting reticle turns from orange to red red let go, and you will be flung toward the enemy, slashing at it with your katana.
Of course, the enemy English Suicidal Robot Ninja Warrior can dodge your attack by moving quickly out of the way, or charging straight at you to repel your attack.
An interesting feature of this game is how the player is affected by gravity. Each mass on the map has its own small centre of gravity, so you can go on any side of a cube and not fall off. You can also jump off the mass and spin around it and dash to the next. Holding shift at any time drops you quickly down on the nearest surface.
There are five gamemodes, including Capture the Flag, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Lighten Up (biggest explosion wins)
and Ninja! Ninja! Ninja! Robozilla! Which is basically a juggernaut mode.
The Positives:
+Fun, +Ridiculous, +English Suicidal Robot Ninja Warriors, +Nice gameplay.
The Negatives:
-Almost no players, -Not much content.
Overall Score: Nice for a LAN party, fun, but needs more content.
7/10
