Erazer - Devise & Destroy Reviews

simple and awesome

Fun experience. Like Noita but with a Worms Armageddon ninja rope.

It seems that developers really listen the community and so far I have really enjoyed this game. Community maps and map editor are great addition. I cant wait the multiplayer, it would be a great addition!

[i] My Experience [/i] I was excited when I first saw [b]Erazer[/b], as there aren't a lot of games that feature destructible terrain. Although I didn't end up loving the game [b]BroForce[/b] overall, the destructible terrain was the most compelling aspect of that game to me. Shaping the environment is always a fun power trip - just ask any [b]Red Faction[/b] fan! My co-op partner and I delayed on picking the game up, as some of the initial reviews pointed out the necessity of using port forwarding to get connected with a partner. However, the developer later fixed this issue and we decided to take the plunge. Although the game was certainly a little rough from a UI design standpoint, we initially enjoyed ourselves. It was fun to create your own path to objectives, and new weapons and gadgets seemed to unlock at a decent clip. The ninja rope provided even more mobility options, although the physics with it could get a little strange and it seemed to generate its own weird momentum. Another oddity is the way that wall jumping works - after you jump off of a wall, you'll need to delay your directional input or the game won't move your character correctly. If you hold the direction you want to move [i]while[/i] making the wall jump, your character won't end up moving in that direction. Despite these minor grievances, it wasn't until I began hitting overwhelming bugs that we stopped playing. I believe these began to increase in frequency when we reached the mission involving a plane. My character would spawn into the level stuck in the ground, and I'd be unable to move, jump, or equip a weapon. I found it kind of comical the first time it happened, assuming that it was a freak occurrence - my partner went on and completed the level by himself. However, it then continued happening, over and over. Sometimes I would spawn normally, but then if we died while playing the level and had to restart I'd again hit the bug. Finally, it got to be a bit too much for me to deal with and we decided to play something else.

Online doesn't work without port forwarding. It should be standard to make a game that doesn't need you to port forward to play in 2021. Figure it out.
