Every course will push you to go faster, and the optional objectives on each course could ask you to get some “sick” air time or to never use your breaks. Descenders is a game all about downhill mountain biking, and also about the importance of wearing a helmet when you are going down a mountain on a dinky bike at 30 miles per hour.ĭescenders is high octane – speed and tricks are the name of the game. If I had to pick one game on this list to recommend to any gamer, no matter how hardcore or casual they may be, that game would have to be Descenders. It was nigh unbeatable on the battlefield in 1580, and remains so in this delightful game. While it can be frustrating at times, it also means that laying down proper battle lines actually becomes important.įor instance, my winning combo was based off the Spanish Tercio, which consists of a block of muskets surrounded by pikes and skirmishing fencers. Unlike most real-time strategy games, there is no micromanagement of units once you place them, they are out of your control. The game also contains a campaign mode, which will see you given a limited budget and headcount to face off against an opposing army. For instance, the samurai can deflect bullets, which we all know is 100% possible through the power of anime. Each unit is unique, with strengths and weaknesses that reflect both historical truths and also popular imagination.
While the googly-eyed, cartoon caricatures of soldiers are certainly amusing to look at, and the wacky yet consistent physics can produce some hilarious hijinks, there is more to this game than meets the eye. The player can build small armies from a huge variety of historically accurate military units, from samurai and musketeers to Leanardo Da Vinci driving a tank and Zeus Olympios, God of Thunder and the Heavens.
