Should just re-name this to "Unreal Tournament 3.5"
*Keep in mind this is only in the early access and is GREATLY limited in what it offers. *
If you have played Unreal Tournament in your life and you enjoyed it, then you will feel right at home, as it is basically the same thing, which is fun! After hearing about a new Combat Arena FPS coming into the works, I was really looking forward to it. Normally, I would never look into Early Access games, but for once in my life, I was actually EXITED to back this up... Hell I bought the $90 Godlike Package >_>
From what I've played so far, if feels exactly like UT, with the only a few differences I can see.
- A temporary "Cloak" or stealth that will turn you invisible for a few seconds to help you get away or help you flank your opponents.
- There is no form of "Rocket Jumping" or at least I have yet to pull it off. The reason why I bring this up, as there is some armor in the 1 map we get that has armor that is impossible to jump to, thus I thought you could only get that from Rocket Jumps, but I guess I'm doing it wrong.
- The weapons also do not seem to have a "combo" as UT did with some of their weapons, ex. the Shock Rifle from UT.
- No power ups like jump boots, quad damage, shield, etc. There is armor, health, and a turbo health and that is all I've been able to find. Again, I'm only going off of the 1 map that is available.
Current weapons selection is as follows:
| Weapon | Description |
| Raven | Pistol with single shot and burst shot (only can have 1, that I can tell) |
| Bullcraft | Shotgun with single and double shot |
| Violator | Assault Rifle with Grenade shot |
| Falcon | Sniper Rifle with Scope (Zoom) |
| Stingray | Lazer Assault Rifle with full auto and beam single shot |
| Dragoneer | Flamethrower with spray and charged fireball (Yes, a f***ing fireball) |
| Cerberus | Rocket Launcher with a locking on function? (never successfully got it to work) |
Otherwise, it plays almost exactly like UT does. It has your quick movement dodges, double jumps, adrenaline pumping combat, great looking graphics, great sound and music. Hell even the AI is pretty good, feels like I'm playing UT... Which is why I brought up the joke about changing the name to UT 3.5, there isn't really anything new thus far!
If you are new to Combat Arena FPS games, go buy Unreal Tournament, it's a finished game with tons of content, or even Quake Live to get a feel for fast paced FPS. I recommend you to wait for more content to become available in TOXIKK before I can tell everyone to purchase this game, in it's current state.
I can't wait to see what else Reakktor Studios has in store for us. Don't let us down!
*I will update my review as more things become available. Also keep in mind that I am no professional reviewer, professional game critic, or Pro FPS player, I'm just a guy that loves to play video games
