Takedown: Red Sabre

Arclight · 09-15-13, 11:41 AM

One of the Kickstarter tactical shooters from a while ago, this one is about to release. It's set for September 20th, going for €14,- on Steam.

Looks pretty good, attractive price too. Would be nice to have a bit more modern alternative.

Pre-ordered.

Apart from that I wish to support this franchise where Tactical shooters actually do tick most of the must haves of an tactical shooter instead just being a lousy CoD clone with a cover system where you regenerate health and slap tactical all over the place because of this.

It seems good but I tend to be cautious .You guys will have to report back on how the game play is before I bite.It is not clear on Steam seems like no pre-purchase beta access but then in some discussions it seems like they are already playing it.

Proper tactical shooter. $15,-. Guns and 'splosives. Buy it already.

The thing TB mentioned about customization is shown in the "weapon handling" video above, so that's done.

Dowly · 09-17-13, 06:02 AM

I'll buy it as soon as I get money.

Stealhead · 09-17-13, 03:39 PM

I went ahead and bought it.

Arclight · 09-17-13, 04:13 PM

Cool.

I'm hoping it picks up a good crowd. The genre has been absent for too long. Bit of a shame Ground Branch failed at the Kickstarter, though it's still coming along. There were like 3 different tactical shooters Kickstarting at the same time all of a sudden, so it's not really surprising they weren't all successful at that stage.

Very nice. Rather like how they handled the breaching charges. One problem I had with older tactical shooters is that the manual triggering leaves you unable to move in right away, since you need to swap back to a weapon first.

Could try to bludgeon them with the detonator but sadly that's never been modeled.

Mmmffff.....some hours remaining.

May or may have not bought it.

I think I'll try to pick this up after I get paid, feedback depending, but it does look nice.

Unless someone objects, I was planning on recording it tonight.

Sure go ahead

I just hope Gamersgate gives me the key today. Bought it from there to get them
blue coins.

Steam's store page doesn't have the counter anymore.

Thought it would be unlocked in an hour.

EDIT: Steam download seems to be enabled. Come on GG, hurry up!
