KillSteel

Demolition derbies with weapons should be a raucous affair, but the lack of personality and poor physics make KillSteel feel more like a pretender than a contender in the space.

  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them dated and unpolished, while others praise their realism and smooth mechanics. Customization options for graphical settings are appreciated, though performance issues like low frame rates on high settings are noted. Overall, while the visuals may not be groundbreaking, they serve the game's purpose and contribute to its fun factor, especially considering it's a free title.

    • “The graphics were insane, and how realistic it was blew my mind.”
    • “Where do I begin, the graphics are phenomenal, the car mechanics are smooth and best of all, you never get bored of it.”
    • “Sure, it's not graphically polished or audibly superb, but it ticks all the boxes of a great basic destruction derby game, and it's free!”
    • “Makes the game a 1.6/10; sure, you can run it on a potato, but the graphics don't see much change on far more powerful PCs.”
    • “Add to that invisible walls and collision bugs, and you have a glorified version of a mobile game with better graphics.”
    • “Dated graphics and menus, a generic 'wannabe kick-ass' rock soundtrack, often-seen fonts - this project isn't polished or visually pleasing, but it's free, it's completely honest about what it is, and it's fun.”
  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the fun mechanics and smooth car handling reminiscent of 'Flatout', while others criticize the poor physics, extreme balancing issues, and lack of introductory guidance. Overall, while some find it engaging and entertaining, others feel it suffers from significant flaws that detract from the experience.

    • “The gameplay itself is superb and leaves you wanting more and more.”
    • “Where do I begin? The graphics are phenomenal, the car mechanics are smooth, and best of all, you never get bored of it.”
    • “You can have some fun; gameplay is sort of like in 'FlatOut', just car derby, a lot of boosters, ramps, etc. 'Killsteel!'”
    • “The physics, and calling them that is generous, are non-existent, with cars falling over and rolling like damned logs. The gameplay is terrible; I've seen better car handling in low-quality mobile derby games. Not to mention the obviously dated UI worthy of a low-quality Roblox minigame. Oh, and did I mention how the game drops you into the 'game' with no introduction to its mechanics?”
    • “The balancing is too extreme, so gameplay is not fun.”
    • “Driving mechanics I am not sure if they are supposed to be like that, but I had trouble doing the simplest maneuvers.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received positive feedback, with many players praising its relaxing and engaging qualities, likening it to memorable soundtracks from classic games like Super Mario Sunshine. While some critiques mention a generic rock soundtrack and dated audio settings, the overall consensus is that the music enhances the gaming experience and complements the gameplay well.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes to this music long enough to realize that I was going to be okay.”
    • “This game has left me speechless; as soon as you open it, you are welcomed with one of the greatest video game soundtracks since Super Mario Sunshine.”
    • “What a fun game! The great soundtrack goes well with the game. Thank you, devs, for sharing your work with the community.”
    • “Dated graphics and menus, a generic 'wannabe kick-ass' rock soundtrack, often-seen fonts - this project isn't polished or visually pleasing, but it's free, it's completely honest about what it is and it's fun.”
    • “The crunchy soundtrack.”
  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players highlighting its comedic power-ups and entertaining gameplay that elicits laughter and enjoyment. Many describe it as a fun, lighthearted experience that provides mindless action and a good dose of humor, making it an excellent choice for those looking to unwind. Overall, the game is characterized as both amusing and engaging, contributing to a joyful gaming experience.

    • “First and foremost, the concept is pretty good - I'd describe the game as being like Wreckfest, but unrealistic and with funny power-ups.”
    • “It's an awesome and funny game to play; every time I play it, I feel very happy. You will feel the action and you will laugh a lot... enjoy!”
    • “This game is funny as hell.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game generally runs well with good graphics, but players report significant stability issues, particularly when flipping vehicles, which can lead to frustrating gameplay. Despite its simplicity and fun factor, the bugs detract from the overall experience.

    • “The game runs great, and the graphics are definitely better than some other games!”
    • “I appreciate the stability of the game; it rarely crashes and provides a smooth experience.”
    • “The performance is solid, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay even during intense moments.”

    • “The game has potential, but frequent crashes and glitches make it frustrating to play.”
    • “I experienced multiple stability issues, including lag and unexpected crashes that ruined my gaming experience.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's narrative emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, suggesting that perseverance can lead to unexpected outcomes. However, some players feel that the game lacks a substantial story, indicating a divide in the overall storytelling experience.

    • “The moral of the story is that you never know what life holds in store for you. If I had given up when all the odds were stacked against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “This game has no story.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game is currently lacking, but players generally do not notice significant frame rate issues during regular gameplay unless they are specifically monitoring a frame rate counter.

    • “The optimization is not great at the moment, but you really don't notice the frame rate unless you sit there and stare at a frame rate counter.”
    • “The game suffers from significant optimization issues, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering during gameplay.”
    • “Despite the engaging gameplay, the poor optimization makes it hard to enjoy the experience fully.”
