BH Trials Reviews

Really cool and original game!

Great Tricky game! Got this game solely as it had Steel Battalion controller support (see the developers medium page for driver and install guide) Playing the game with the controller is brilliant fun! if you have a steel Battalion controller, a usb convert and love a challenge definitely buy this game!

It was already hard but the newest update made it almost impassible but I still love the game.

Surprisingly difficult, yet fun. Would recommend

love the ISO controls, pls add first person pov and or vr support

A Difficult but satisfying puzzle game. If you like backhoes this game is for you, I was missing mine from a few years ago and it was just like old times, but without gas or brakes. Definitely a good value for the money. I didn't buy the music pack, so I don't know if it's worth buying or not.

Having a good time so far with the cooperative spider mode. A big challenge that takes patience and cooperation (for multiplayer). I recommend giving it a go especially if you like games like I am bread. Check out our struggle here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDaJHNAQ9jA

Randomly put this on with friends. Spent 30+ minutes just trying to beat the first co-op level which is to go just in a straight line. 10/10

This game feels like learning to walk after suffering a stroke. At first your movement will be uncontrolled and you will flail your limbs about the place helplessly. But soon you'll get the hang of it and instead stumble about like a drunken toddler. Great fun! There is quite a bit of content and extra challenge, as each level offers a collectible and a highscore list where you can try to beat the times of your quadriplegic fellows. Some levels are insanely hard and the highscore lists at later stages have very few entries. I really wish this game would be more popular, it would be well deserved.

I absolutely love this game. I have always wondered how these sorts of machines are controlled in real life so when I saw Northernlion playing this, I bought it pretty much instantly. BH Trials is an obstacle course game, where you navigate a "backhoe loader", as I've learned these are called, through a path riddled with all manners of different obstacles. The only problem is, that the only way of movement is manipulating the loader and the backhoe arm. The wheels roll but that's about it, you can't actually drive or steer the machine in a normal fashion. Because of this, BH Trials might well be one of the highest skill-ceiling games of this type there is. Using a controller, I would say, is extremely recommended (keyboard/mouse is available of course, but I haven't tried it) if only because it actually mimicks the real-life controls of these machines, where the arm is manipulated with two joysticks. The game can be very hard and frustrating but I've never felt like it's due to the game being poorly made. It actually works incredibly well, the physics feel right and I have seen zero bugs. It just takes a while to get used to the controls, much like I bet it takes a long time to learn to manipulate these IRL. As for the graphics, I really like it. The game has a very clean, elegant look to it and runs well. What's really tragic though is that absolutely nobody seems to be playing the game. I've just finished the second chapter and in the later levels, I was pretty much alone on the leaderboards safe for one other guy who, infuriatingly, got better times than me but I'll beat him eventually. Anyway, if you feel like playing a novel, well made game that combines a backhoe sim and an obstacle course game, give this a go. I did and was not disappointed at all.
