DANGEROUS DUELS Reviews

Bang.

did the name change?

Boring as fuck. Not worth 5€

They didn't even put any movement/aim keys for keyboard. i tryed finding way to aim or look in a differnt direction. it turns out you can't on keyboard this game is useless and unplayable if you have a keyboard only. I really hate when games i find like this saysay full controller support but says no fucking thing about if it has functional keyboard usage. Like i said before if you only have keyboard don't buy it.

BANG BANG BANG! is a small, board-game style local multiplayer game, best for parties. You must be the last player standing in a four-way gunslinging contest. The mechanics are simple, but there's a lot of fun to be had. This game does not require familiarity with games conventions. It can be played by almost anyone, although it handles best using a controller. It's aggressive and fast-paced. Excellent with friends on a Saturday night.

HUGE DISCLAIMER: The keyboard controls for this game are useless outside of menu navigation because there isn't a way to make your character choose which direction to move or shoot with keyboard controlls. DO NOT buy this game unless you have a gamepad, and do not play multiplayer unless you have a gamepad for each player. This is a great local multiplayer game with a simple premise and satisfying execution. Shootouts are based on quick decision-making and reflexes, but the ability to fire slow-moving shielded projectiles offers something in the way for more strategic/defensive play. The game could definitely use more maps, and it could definitely improve on the ones that are currently in the game. Certain maps restrict player movement very heavily, making it difficult or even impossible to flank or escape from other players. Certain maps will start players off in positions in direct view of 2 or more enemies, so survival just becomes a matter of luck. Fortunately, maps can be individually turned on and off, but turning off the linear/luck based maps leaves only 5 maps in the game. I'd love to see the inclusion of either more maps or some sort of dodge-like mechanic for when players can't escape threats due to map design. That's all fairly nitpicky though, as the gameplay itself is good enough to make the game enjoyable despite what may occasionally feel unfair.

A simple and effective premise, definitely pick this up if you're in need of a good local multiplayer game. It's exactly how you'd imagine a Mexican standoff, but with the addition of giant slow bullets which can be used for area denial as you zip around the board. There are also a surprising amount of customization options to tailor things to your liking (I suggest enabling 'full reloads required' to avoid letting people cheese engagements via spamming reload). It's super fun, and has earned a place in my permanent roster of 'good games to play at a party'.

Fantastic little game! Plays well, quick to pick up, great fun with friends. Windows threw a fit about using multiple controllers although that is not to be blamed on this game. No bugs either. All in all, great party game!

BANG BANG BANG! is a multiplayer, dueling partygame. By it's nature it's not the sort of game most people can play every day, but when you get the chance you absolutely should. Like the best competitive games, it's a game about anticipating intentions and knowing your opponents. The game starts immediately after everyone is ready. It will punish you if you attempt to fire before the game has started by wounding your character so you can't simply hammer the fire button. This gives the last person to ready an advantage but everyone KNOWS this, and as you can see which direction people are facing before the game starts, you can anticipate where they will go. Or try to persuade all your other friends to gang up on them. Or distract them with your worst spaghetti western banter. Movement is incredibly fast: maneuvering is limited by your ability to think ahead. Are your friends trying to camp the long sight lines? Can you dummy them into wasting their shots or do you count on your ability to double tap the move button before they can get a shot off? Your guns also have the option of firing a "slow bullet", a slow moving, chunky projectile that blocks all other shots giving you space to move or setting up a comically slow kill in 3 seconds time. Rounds can be over in a couple of seconds or turn into tense half-minute chases. Overall I don't know if this is a game you can play all night because it's so intense. But it's probably one that I'll end up playing every time I have friends around and since you can play a set to 5 wins in the time it took you to read this review, it's easy to work it in between more sedate party games.

So I played this at a friends house, a few beers and a lot of shouting later we were having a blast. I went home after the holidays and bought this game, as its a great party game. The gameplay itself is quick and frantic as you try to position yourself to kill rather than be killed. Bullet speeds come into play as you can set up 'traps' for lack of a better word, cornering your opponet for the kill. I had no issue on 3 of my 4 controllers, though one of my controllers is crap, so thats not the games fault. Pick this up if you like quick versus games and friends (and potentially yelling)
