Starblood Arena
SCORE: 55
Starblood Arena is a great example of what
to avoid creating in a video game. At its core it feels like a small
arena battling game in the vein of Descent. Starblood Arena is missing a
good single player experience. This game is hard on the easiest setting.
Moving and shooting in full 360 degree fashion gets sickening really
fast. I stayed docked wherever I spawned a couple of times because it
was easier to hit the other ships.
Starblood Arena includes nine total pilots. On top of the violent
content, we also have some enticement to lust content. The language in
Starblood Arena is horrible. It hurts a game that was already
struggling. The blob and robot announcers are only there between
matches. They are insulting and threatening all at the same time. The
only thing that helped in dealing with them was the long loading
screens.
There is rock music in Starblood Arena while we play. That can be turned
off if you are offended by lyrics in these songs. There are multiple
weapons we can use in Starblood Arena. I loved throwing mines out there.
The different characters have different ships which have mild variations
to them. Matches go for so many minutes and this game tracks your kills,
and the times you were killed.
The worst part about Starblood Arena is getting sick. The tutorial
teaches all of the commands. Rolling in the vehicle is probably the
worst one. Even in the tutorial it made me feel sick. I did not use it
in the game. Flying around with the joystick, and targeting with my head
is hard enough. Trying to do that while rolling made me extremely
nauseous.
There are online battles in Starblood Arena. Some of them are ranked.
That is if you can find other players online to play against. Starblood
Arena is not a very popular game. After playing it I can see why. I have
already uninstalled it. I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased a
copy of Starblood Arena on the PS4 VR. The failures from the PR and
Marketing firm make no logical sense.
