Conflict Rats is form of trash, however I like it all the identical. Oh, you are giving me a ‘ratvolver’ and letting me construct ‘turrats’ and there is a dramatic close-up of swinging rat balls within the intro montage for every stage? Yeah, go on then. It is obtained the vibes of one thing made by the man you knew in secondary faculty who solely drew footage of cartoon dicks however, like, they have been undeniably actually good dicks. Absolute cock prodigy, that man. Pablo Dickasso.
Anyway, I am in all probability making it sound like there is a critical dick to rat ratio right here but it surely’s actually simply these balls. There are some nice rat animations although. It is a 2D technique tug-of-war the place you push via phases summoning troops and constructing constructions, and while you do, you are handled to a bunch of rats with hammers piling up development obstacles. When enemy rats fall, both to your individual weapons or your military of Ratineeers, gangs of regular-sized rats come to nibble on their corpses. In addition they say issues like “Inform my spouse…squeak”.
Additionally I’m 95% positive your Ratvolver fires legally distinct warpstone. They noticed me coming, I inform you.
