Crossout
Crossout is a mixture of Mad Max meets Twisted Metal. In this insane vehicular battle online game, it’s easy to get instantly thrown into a PvP battle against other players piloting gnarly cars, trucks, and dune buggies.
Controls/Game Mechanics
There are a few controller configurations to choose from; The “Test Drive” feature of the browser game. Once you find a setup you like, you will drive right into the carnage.
Within this high octane world, you are only responsible for driving your vehicle and machine-gunning other players until they meet their maker, but you are also responsible for building and upgrading your automobile as you unlock new weapons, armor, engines, boosters, frames, paint, and cabins in the game.
One minor and humorous issue with Crossout is that some of the NPCs speak broken English. At one point, my female mentor said, “We want make warrior of you.”
Crossout Gameplay
Crossout is true to the laws of physics. The bigger and heavier the vehicle, the slower it moves and turn. When parts of vehicles are blown off, the vehicles instantly handle differently.
The Action is Non-Stop
Bullets and explosions engulf the battlefield as you maneuver between them and try to survive. If all else fails, you just smash into your enemy to cause the most damage you can. Don’t be intimidated by the controls in the beginning; you will be surprised at how natural they feel once you get going.
One intuitive feature of Crossout is that once the player has designed a vehicle that they really enjoy playing, they can save the template in the “Blueprint” feature.
The action is fluid as you drive through the chaos. Aiming and firing weapons is surprisingly simple and satisfying when it results in a kill.
However, the stakes are high, because if you’re blown to hell during the battle, you cannot respawn. From that moment on, you’re just a spectator hoping your teammates can win the battle without you.
