Graphics are beautiful and the game is fun too, plus congrats for developing it in Unreal, because Unreal is in another level. Great Job.

PS: I love Unreal Engine 4 :D

I love the graphics! I also enjoyed destroying the environment (the dead body in the house near the spawn point too!).

Great work!

Good use of voxel, with lighting, dof and destruction ! It's so peacefull before you start to shoot. Keep up the good work !

High score of 236 :D

Nice graphics. the world destruction is satisfying, but it feels like I should be rewarded with a point for leveling their houses :P

It remembers me a lot of voxel games that I really love. Nice art, nice gameplay and fantastic graphics. I love the destruction and the highscore system ^^

Cool that you made a voxel game, and even cooler that you can blow that voxel game up.

GertJohnny25 Aug 2015, 21:53

Nice graphics. The destruction effects are cool too, but it would have been better if the terrain physics updated after being destroyed.

Visual effects are stunning, very solid game. I was a bit dissapointed to find that I couldn't walk through a wall that I'd destroyed. Also it seems like bullets can pass through some destroyed walls, but not all?

My 6y/o demanded I let him play long enough to get the highest score in the world.

It didn't run very well for me, but the overall look was very cool, I liked the voxels and the destructible terrain. It was a nice little village with some cool touches

I love that the graphics reminds me of legos. I thought it was unique that the firing of the ball came from back of the head. Very good explosion pictures.

I'm a simple guy. I see I can destroy stuff, I like it! Well done!

Graphics look nice. The aiming was really hard for me to get right, not sure what it was about it.

I liked the destructible environment, but was a little disappointed that it didn't effect the collision data. Would have been super cool to blow up houses and terrorize the people inside.

Solid game overall! Good job!

Very pretty and explodey game! Please adjust the collisions so that you cannot walk over craters. :x

Really nice looking, loved the voxel destruction. Good work. :)

Muush30 Aug 2015, 23:24

Unreal is definitely cool to use. Congrats on the destructible environment, overall pretty great game.

Really liked the voxel aesthetics and how they fit with fireballs destroying everything. Speaking of which, their behavior is a bit counter-intuitive, being their alive time constant instead of their travelling speed.
Are the peasants revolting? Or are they just defending themselves?
