You'll find a bunch of interesting weapons to collect and customize, armor sets to mix and match, a solid core game mode known at TITAN MODE and more all wrapped up in a unique, minimalist artistic style that's more than the sum of its parts. Some of our coolest features include:\n\nCustomizable Weapons: Craft dozens of lethal weapons with unique abilities and roles to best fit your personal playstyles. Each weapon has 5 power levels that are activate during kill streaks, increasing your power making you a force to be feared. Be careful though: weapon power levels are lost upon death, so with great power comes great risk.\n\nBlueprint Crafting System: Gather materials from fallen foes and defeated objectives to craft and upgrade armor sets over the course of a match. Each set of armor has different benefits and weaknesses that can emphasize your favorite playstyle or counter what your enemies are trying to do.\n\nTitan Mode: Battle in epic matches centered on the your team's Titan, a giant, destructive robot that confronts the enemy's Titan. Players can power up their Titan by performing tasks in-game, can defend their mammoth ally by killing enemy players, and can attack enemy Titans directly. The teams compete until one side's Titan reaches the enemy base and destroys it!\n\n5v5 Competitive Gameplay: Create cunning strategies with your teammates and define your unique role on the team by combining different weapons, armor and devices. Support your teammates weapons that increase drop rates for materials and powerups, defend your Titan with armor that grants additional health and survivability, scout enemy positions with weapon and armor that increase speed and allow for double or triple jumps, or simply go glass cannon and dish out as much damage as you can.","10733\u002Fminimum-cover.jpg","10733\u002Fminimum-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=uaeCwOJImk8","2014-08-03",70,15309,"minimum",null,[19,24,27],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Human Head Studios",false,true,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Atari, Inc.",{"company":28,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":29},"Cubed Productions LLC",[31],"Shooter",[33],"PC (Microsoft Windows)",[35,51,67,82,97],{"id":36,"author":37,"outlet":40,"summary":46,"review_url":47,"review_date":48,"original_score":49,"normalized_score":50},27756,{"id":38,"name":39},2341,"Cameron Woolsey",{"id":41,"logo":42,"name":43,"website_url":44,"score_format":45},28,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpot-Logo.jpg","GameSpot","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com","10","Iron giants.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespot.com\u002Freviews\u002Fminimum-review\u002F1900-6415872\u002F","2014-09-16","6.0",60,{"id":52,"author":53,"outlet":56,"summary":62,"review_url":63,"review_date":64,"original_score":65,"normalized_score":66},37367,{"id":54,"name":55},3689,"Brian Connor",{"id":57,"logo":58,"name":59,"website_url":60,"score_format":61},7,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcog-connected-logo.png","COGConnected","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com","100","Who’s ready to have some fun!?! Sometimes in the days of constant releases and re-releases and pre-releases and early access and so on and so forth, we get too bogged down and look at games too analytically.

For a game that just came out of early access you’d expect them to throw in one or two more competitive modes such as CTF but you’re stuck with TDM and Titan mode. Melee weapons also feel hella overpowered compared to guns, especially when you build a melee specific set of armor. If you’re far enough away it’s easy enough to shoot a melee player but lots of the maps are fairly enclosed which means some asshat with maxed dual swords is going to steamroll his way through a tight area. There’s just no good hard counter to these players who are really sporadic in their movements as they randomly double jump all over the place with increased speed and swinging their massive swords all over the place. A bad melee player can be a nuisance but a semi-decent one can completely dominate a match. Horde mode can also feel a bit cheap since enemies will spawn out of thin air and dying because a half dozen goons spawned on top of you can feel pretty shitty. Pair this with only having one life per wave and horde mode can get pretty tiresome quick.","https:\u002F\u002Fmonstervine.com\u002F2014\u002F10\u002Fminimum-review\u002F","2014-10-02","3",5,0,[21],[26,29],[]]
