Overall I've really enjoyed what I've played of GoI Online. To be honest they've done a pretty weak job of actually publicizing the kickstarter, considering there wasn't really any notification that the Sale was even going on, let alone the fact that it is supposed to be tying in to the kickstarter. Currently they've got the basic co-op adventure funded, but they're looking for some extra cash to make a pseudo-MMO out of the whole thing, that would tie in the new PVE content with the existing PVP content via player-run factions and additional routes and areas. It is worth noting that the current sale is an attempt to get some more interest in the Adventure Mode Kickstarter. Twich tv: Streaming now! (at time of post) Game play: (the videos explain/showoff the game better than me) Pilot: The ship buffer, has a spyglass that can IFF at long range, can dump kerosene on the engines to OC them as in more speed for DoT, etc. But does not repair damaged items as well in turn. Exactly like the lerk bite dealing less upfront damage vs the skulk bite, but actually does more counting the poison.Įngineer: Tf2 style, just that you can pick an assortment of wrenches that can repair certain items faster, such as the mallet that can fix a damaged item quickly, while a wrench fixes completely broken items faster. Or the incendiary round, which does less normal damage, but gains it back with the DoT. Gunner: Has the ability to change ammo type, such as the heavy clip which is greater accuracy for less range. What you can do is determined by your classes' equipment. Maneuverability - Turning, more important than what you think, due to the fact that the guns have a limited FoVĭurability - Hp value, some weapons are better at damaging hp than armor and vise-versaįirepower - The number of gun and what type they areĬlasses, note that you can do anyone's job, just that what you specialize in can be done better. Speed - How physically fast your ship can go, Number and strength (light or heavy) depend on ship class. Keeps your ship in the air, lose this and you crash into the ground and take DoT until it is fixed or ship is destroyed
Number depends on class, these go, and you cannot move or turn in only one direction if it's a side engine for example. Hull, the heart of your ship, This goes and everything else with it. And even with the smallest ship there are more parts than players to keep track of, meaning that the players must decide whether or not to swap out firepower to keep the ship from blowing up, or in the air and vice-versa. Pretty straight forward, a team of four works together on a ship (with up to 8 ships or 32 players total) and duke it out, with the players piloting, shooting, and maintaining the ship at all times.
