Review by Jon Donnis
If like me you are the kind of person who misses those top view arcade racers that we all loved in the 90s then this is arcade perfection. I had Micro Machines on the NES back in the early 90s, and I feel like nothing since then has ever quite got it right when it comes to an arcade style top-down racer. Well the wait is finally over, Mantis Burn Racing is to 2017 what Micro Machines was to 1991. Just with incredible graphics, and a deep single player game that will keep you coming back again and again.
And now even better than the base game, which is already pretty awesome, they have just release the Battle Car DLC. So now we can race around and shoot at other drivers, lay mines and generally be even more awesome.
Can you tell that I really like this game yet?
The single player mode really is great, and that is something I want to bring attention to, as so many games these days concentrate so heavily on the multiplayer/online modes that the single player game suffers. Well this game has both. A lengthy single player career mode, which will keep you coming back to collect missed "gears", which are basically your trophies for achieving certain things in the game, like an "Awesome Drift" or destroying roadside obstacles. There are time trials, straight up races, events and so on. And with the Battle Cars add on, it is a whole new lot of vehicles to use, and events to complete.
The multiplayer games are cool too, lots of choices, although perhaps not enough people playing online at times means that I am sure you end up playing AI opponents. If you have a second controller you can have split screen action too which is fun.
A really fun game from top to bottom. Really excellent in game physics too, you really feel like you are in control of every action. And for all you gamer-point hunters, plenty of gamer-points to get too, and they aren't too hard to get either.
The game was excellent already, the Battle Cars add on is the cream on top of the already brilliant cake.
Available now on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Steam® (for Windows PC).
This is a game I have been waiting on for nearly 30 years, so I cant recommend it enough, great for any age.
9/10
"Necrosphere is a mini-metroidvania where you play with ONLY 2 BUTTONS as Terry, the recently-deceased secret agent trying to escape the underworld!"
Please don't be put off by the graphics, this is a fun game that needs your attention. I am old enough to remember games like this when these graphics would be state of the art. A time when game-play came first and not how realistic the game looks. And lets be honest here, many games rely on amazing graphics to distract from the fact that the game itself doesn't have much to it.
With Necrosphere you control your character with 2 buttons, yes just 2. That being left and right. No jump button, just left and right, and it is this simplicity that really gives this game an edge. And yes you do gain new abilities the further into the game you get, a dash function is an example. But by the time you get that fair you will be much more experienced with the basic controls. And the basic controls are what makes this game not only frustrating but incredibly rewarding too. You see as much as you will shout, swear and moan as you die time after time, when you eventually get it right, you feel as if you should be working for MI6 solving their hardest to solve encryptions.
If you asked me to describe this game in one word I would say "Frustrating", but then I would instantly tell you that I need to add "Addictive" immediately after it. Because this game is frustrating, but it is so addictive too that the frustration is very much part of its allure.
The learning curve is perfect, and once you have been playing it for a few hours, go and try a new game, and suddenly you will feel like an expert.
Surprising good game, and as I said previously frustratingly addictive.
