General Conflict (75.5Mb)
Like a 2-4 multi-player game that’s easy to learn, and highly, as in extremely addictively replayable? General Conflict is just such a game and has elements of Bomberman combined with the chaos of games like Super Smash Bros. Basically, you bomb platforms until there’s precious little left to stand on. Of course if you can blast all the other players into oblivion too in the process, so much the better! Before they bomb one (or many!) on you!
Last one surviving wins that round. So anticipation precedes survival amid total chaos if there are three other players each bombing platforms too as well as trying to bomb each other and you. It’s slightly less chaotic if it’s just you against another player, but not too noticeably so!
Players move around the platforms battlefield to collect bombs, which they can then throw forward or drop behind them. Exploding bombs destroy a layer of the tile they’re on and blast players away from them. If you fall in the water, your player dies. Players can attempt to climb back onto a tile from the edge by rapidly pressing a button, but this becomes harder after taking more hits from bombs. You do have a couple of lives and the ability to spawn where you want!
There’s also a team mode, as well as playing free-for-all. There are twelve levels in total as well as the two different game modes. It is hoped to add to these in future, by the game’s authors.
At the moment it doesn’t include on-line multiplayer access, but again should be added to the game fairly shortly. Once added, it will make the game truly exceptional!
The game plays in XP, Vista and Win 7, and in MacOSX. A pdf file explains the controls. A minimum of 2 'Xbox 360 controllers for Windows' are needed before you can play.
It’s a shame though that there aren’t keyboard controls as two Xbox 360 controllers for Windows will set you back about £24 (or US $33) or more, if you haven't these already.
The graphics are dazzling and outstanding, with sound to match, and gameplay is an absolute blast! (excuse pun!)
The game is hectic and totally unpredictable - and tremendous fun to play for sure! I doubt if you’ll have had as much fun in a long while!
