BURST FIRE REVIEW


GRAPHICS


Engine- Phylon utilizes the Aura 3D Engine, designed by Aaron Boucher and possibly one of the first game engines developed for the MMOFPS genre.

GUI – The GUI is fairly standard on an MMO scale; slotted inventories with drag and drop crafting.

Environmental Graphics – Comic style graphics, don’t expect intensely rendered environmental graphics. First impressions felt almost on par with an RPG from the Nintendo 64.

Weapons – Weapons are both comic and futuristic. Hand held weapons are mildly exaggerated in both size and shape.

Character Customization – Phylon is limited to template-like body part selections. Eyes, Face, Hair, skin color. You may choose between 3 separate races, male or female.


GAMEPLAY


The Concept- Quote “Bloblic Colossal Imperium, hungry for dominance, the Amphibian Resistance, leaping into glory, or the Terran Colonies in their struggle for control of the Planet Anura.” Short and sweet: Blobicons (3 eyed fatty’s) + tiny frogs with guns + cryogenically thawed humans = Phylon

PvP – It’s possible, just don’t expect it unless you go into the arena. Yes, there is an arena.

PvE – For the first few weeks of the game, this will be what your game is focused on. Point A, Find an NPC. Point B, he tells you to kill 10 crawling bugs. Point C, go back and get your reward. Point D, go back to point A. Grind and grind some more.

Character Development – Level up and your bullet impact somehow becomes stronger. Gain more health and more armor options with every level.

Clan Options – There are terminals to join/create a guild. Joining up gives you special skill attributes.

Dwelling –No Dwellings. “Hey peon! Get a hold of the guild coordinator and have everybody login at a quarter-after. Let’s meet in front of the pitchfork.”

Loot and Death – Start back at the instance starting point when you die. After you’ve reached higher levels your body becomes lootable, better hurry up and get that rare gear!

Massiveness – Supposedly able to handle 32-64 players on a single map at a time.

Persistence – The world and the stories should remain the same for each respective empire. Your character will remain the same with each login.


TWITCH


Head/body Shots – Shooting a foot has the same damage impact that shooting in the head does. If you can hit the square that equals character X you will cause Y amount of damage. While the amount of damage given or take is dictated by your character stats and weapon.

Character Movement – Jumping is painfully unrealistic, when a character jumps he goes up 4 feet and down 4 feet within a millisecond. Walking feels like gliding. These minor things shouldn’t really matter anyway because you’ll be on a jetpack most of the time, which is actually quite new and enjoyable for an MMO.

Targeting – Although the target is as simple as aiming at a box, there is no auto aim. Although sometimes you wish there was when you get into the endless PvE grind.

Firing – bursts are controllable.

Reloading – for the most part, just wait for your guns battery to recharge and start shooting again.

Lag – As long as players stay at the expected level (32 players on a map) expect minimal lag.

This game was crafted from the browser based, Endless Ages. Endless Ages was actually the right size and pretty good for the community it had. When they shut down Endless Ages and made this abomination I was quite mad despite quitting years before they shut it down. :P Boomtown for life!!

To counter the guy who just wrote 3 reviews (notice they have been written each within 1 minute apart) giving it an F, I would like to say this game actually provides decent gaming FOR AN MMORPG. There are countless missions you can go on. Also, BY FAR the coolest thing about the game is the jetpacks. It really takes away from the "point A to point B" style gaming and adds much more freedom to movement. The shooter quality seems not so great... but that's why I said the game is great as an MMORPG. I participated in the beta and will continue to support the game, the price however will have to be pretty low to convince me to stay in the game as there are many other games with better quality offering monthly fees.

Don't be tricked into getting this game. It sucks. The gameplay and videos look nice but once you're in the game it's a completely different story. This game has maybe a 1hr shelflife.

What a waste of bandwidth.

Things I like about the game:

- players have jetpacks

- you can choose between 3ps or FPS


Things I dislike:

- The aim really bites, you'll get used to it after awhile. Just like an article on this site said... you can shoot them on the foot or the head, doesn't matter it still does the same damage.

- If you're not flying, the movement feels very glidey, jumping looks a little awkward too.

- The arenas are not very populated, neither are the maps.
