Did not like:
- Slow passive gold income from killing enemies
- There are problems with the speed and smoothness of camera rotation
- Opponents can get stuck in objects on the map
- When moving along the stairs, some steps stop the character. What makes you use the jump?
- Local humor
- Weak AI allies
- Lack of ability to interact/give orders to allied bots when playing in DUO/Squad modes
- Bug of allies that may end up in other closed locations - after being summoned at the Altar
- Allies do not move with the player, stand at the spawn point and do not react to damage received from opponents
- Lack of availability of the “Classic Story” mode
- Bug with receiving damage in the “Invulnerability” mode from the fire of the Altar
- Long wait for enemies to appear due to poorly defined enemy movement routes
- Broken logic for the appearance of enemies if the character is on the stairs at the Sacrificial Altar
- Limited firing range, which does not allow you to destroy enemies on the lower floor if the player is on the stairs
- A visual bug in which shooting at an enemy that comes close passes through the sprite without causing damage to him
- Part of the automatically received bonuses is activated outside the start of the waves
- Opponents/allied bots do not take damage from purple liquid. Which allows them to stand in it without getting damaged
- It is impossible to improve/replace the weapons of allied bots, as well as use their gold
- Weak level design where you can get lost
- Problems with the mechanics of jumping on platforms
- When activating identical bonuses, the bonus time is not cumulative
- Damage bonuses do not stack, but are replaced
- Wide hitboxes for allies that extend beyond their sprites
- Enemy missiles do not cause damage to surrounding enemies if they hit a hero/ally
- Bug with missing icons and descriptions of achievements in the “Achievements” tab of the main menu
Conclusion:
"Randy Blaster 3D" is a project created by fans of the musical artist 3DBlast (which may be familiar to many from collaborations with various artists, including League of Legends, Dan Mason, Maggie.Wav and many others) in honor of his #3DBLASTisOverParty event.
The main task of the game is not to “save” or “help” your idol - but the completely opposite activity: the destruction of the Randys Monster that appeared because of the music of the performer and his Devilish Drum Machine. Therefore, the player will have to arm himself with a wide variety of firearms and go to clean up the giant Randy Castle, which is slowly sinking into lava...
The graphics in the game pay tribute to old games, so the monsters and many of the surroundings are made in the style of games of the 1990s: Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Shadowcaster, Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold. And for “full” immersion, you can also activate “classic” controls, thanks to which you will not be able to look around with the mouse. Which makes the game much more difficult!
The gameplay of "Randy Blaster 3D" is a classic arena shooter in which waves of opponents will attack your character. And during short breaks, you can buy new weapons, get treatment or improve your hero. You will have to fight numerous enemies in various parts of the castle - which must be “opened” by paying the Strange Merchant a small number of coins. New locations will not only give you the opportunity to use new Bonuses, but will also help you survive - as lava slowly fills the lower floors of the Castle, forcing you to climb higher and higher.
There are a large number of weapons available in the game that you can use in your battles. From pistols to automatic rifles and grenade launchers, each weapon has its own characteristics and allows you to choose the appropriate play style. In addition, you can improve not only your weapons, but also your character's abilities - which can significantly increase his efficiency and power.
But the game is at its full glory when integrated with Twitch Deep - which allows viewers to influence what is happening on your screen. Using fine tuning - you can independently adjust the capabilities of your subscribers. Thanks to this, your audience will be able to both help you destroy crowds of monsters, and hinder you - causing a sudden rise of lava, new and strengthened monsters, or even changing your controls!
Overall, "Randy Blaster 3D" is an interesting arena shooter that is ready to provide several hours of interesting action for streamers with a large audience. And also capable of bringing in good income, you just have to set up the integration with Twitch “correctly”!
For ordinary users, the game will become another boring project in which you will begin to fall asleep in just a couple of waves. And all thanks to the same type, boring and monotonous gameplay - which carries with it many shortcomings and bugs.
