Because of the direct control you have over swinging your weapons, getting a solid hit in Hammerfall feels REALLY good, and you’ll be doing a lot of it during a variety of manly activities like hunting giant cave worms with a ball and chain or fighting for your life as a slave in the arena. This game is strong and very manly in an ancient sort of way, kind of like Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments. Use the mouse to fly and to fight – Hammerfight employs a physics engine to let you swing weapons using the motion of your machine. Formerly known as Hammerfall, the game is set in a unique fantasy world and puts you in control of a flying machine that can be equipped with various knives, swords, flails, hammers, axes, and guns. Hammerfight came out unexpectedly on Steam this week. This review is based solely on Hammerfight for the PC.Hammerfight By: Derek Yu On: October 30th, 2009 This game has differences from the original and I have never played it. Note: A "version" of Hammerfight ( Hammer Wars) has been released on the PSP, by a different developer. These weapons are stored in your own personal armoury, with a stop for one of every weapon in the game. The game is moderately loot/upgrade based, you can acquire weapons and upgrades by either winning them in a match, picking them up from your fallen enemies, or buying them. Multiple weapons/armour can be attached at the same time, the limiting factor is mostly their weight, the more you pile on the heavier and therefore slower you will be. While conversely the maces, in general, are connected to your machine with a chain (which enemies can pass though) and are blunt and heavy (in general) allowing you to give a huge punch to anyone in a wide circle around you. The swords are very sharp but short, you need to get closer to your enemies and will not be able to build up as much energy in your swing. Not only can you add singing stones to add special attributes to your weapons, but all the weapons play very differentially to begin with. The weapons are very diverse and interesting. And if you are interested in multiplayer you can play with up to four mouses hooked up to one computer. The most notable of these mini games is one modelled after a simplistic version of baseball and another similar to soccer. In addition to the main game their are a few very fun mini games, that will give you weapons and upgrades if you do well in them for use in future mini games or the main game. Periodically you are asked to make a choice, your answer dictates which path you follow Additionally, how you do in some battles and challenges dictate your next branch. The main game consists of a series of area battles, some with hordes of enemies poring into the area, others with a few hard enemies, and still others which are boss battles. Also, instead of going for a strong hit you can try to push the enemy into a wall, damaging him and lining him up for a devastating attack, or another foe, damaging and entangling then both and throwing them out of position. Additionally, your weapons can be used to disarm your opponent or to block their strikes Hitting an enemies weapon just right and with enough power can knock it off of their ship, giving you a huge advantage And your weapon is the most sturdy and indestructible part of your ship and is excellent at blocking and deflecting blows. Their is a lot of skill involved It is not easy to get the weapons swinging properly and their are different ways to go about trying to do so. You can attach various battle implements to your machine and your main attack method is flying in circles at the right speed and angle to swing the weapon and hit your opponent. You play as a little battle copter thing, moving it around with your mouse, with a 2D side view.
