The Showdown Effect - Games

[QUOTE=superstepa;39837411]So the game got released I am loving the mutator system, and the preorder lightsaber. The preorder character lines are pretty funny too, but I don't like his ability[/QUOTE] Hanks grenade ability blows myself up way more than it should.

[QUOTE=mR_oWnAGe;39839081]Hanks grenade ability blows myself up way more than it should.[/QUOTE] I am mostly a melee user, so I just use it as a suicide bomb when my opponent has the upper hand It's cheap, but it works

Tackle them down, then backroll to where they're getting up, and hack away.

It also gives ranged people a good chance to line up their sights on you.

The only use I found for tackles is killing enemies standing next to pits

Tackling someone off of Neotokyo is powerful feeling.

I wish they would do something with the shotgun, as it stands it's difficult to really use it effectively at all.

Not sure if this has been asked, but what happened to bullet dodging? I remember seeing footage of it, it showed blue circles around the player and he could dodge bullets.

Managed to kill 10 people in Battle of the Bandits by knocking them into the pit with it's knockback. Still, it takes more skill and is less effective than MG or SMG.

Bumping this shit, 'cause this game is fun. Team Elimination is really awesome, it's a shame more servers aren't playing it. I also just played a match with one loadout weapon, no hero abilities, and quad damage, which was pretty fun.

I hope they get around to nerfing the MG. Almost every other weapon needs decent aim otherwise you're stuck reloading.

I've found the pistol to be superior. I frequently come out on top going toe to toe with the MG. I can't find a list of the heroes' abilities anywhere. I can't decide which one to unlock first.

Bumping the thread, is this game actually worth picking up? It's -75% right now on Steam and I'm thinking about getting Digital Deluxe.
