Apr 18, 201378There's elegance in ShootMania's simplicity, and it's great and refreshing to see some new ideas brought to a genre that's been largely abandoned by the big-name games. It does, however, lack personality and variety in weaponry.
-
Apr 20, 201375ShootMania Storm's sleek action is an invigorating return to the days of speedy, purely skill-based shooters.
-
Apr 11, 201374ShootMania Storm is a breath of fresh air in this world of carbon-copy military shooters. It’s a new take on an old genre that will satisfy anyone who grew up alongside the early shooters.
-
Apr 10, 201390What really delivers now, however, is Elite mode. Forget the needlessly intimidating name; this is shooter-as-sport par excellence, an exquisitely balanced and enormously fun mode unlike anything else in the genre.
-
Apr 16, 201370Despite its bland and overly simplistic exterior, ShootMania Storm is like a blank canvas for FPS fans' creativity.
-
May 30, 201376A fast, balanced multiplayer shooter, but one that will live or die by its community. [July 2013, p.82]
-
Apr 10, 201380ShootMania Storm is fast, immediate and skill-based. The gameplay could appear too simple and poor for many players, but those who want to explore their skill limits have a nice place to do so.
-
Apr 16, 201382A simple, fast and addictive shooter that TrackMania fans will love. It's focused on its community, since there's absolute freedom for mods and sharing users' creation, so it's up to the players shaping the future of this game.
-
May 20, 201380An unpretentious, sharp-edged thrill of a skill-based shooter. And we haven't said that in quite some time. [Issue#135, p.123]
-
Apr 15, 201375ShootMania Storm is a simple to play game, with tons of fun inside.
-
May 13, 201385Shootmania is a fast and fun shooter that is a blast to play. For the $20 asking price it gives you more than enough content to play around with and the games growth in terms of content is only limited by its playerbase's imagination. If you are looking for a FPS that is different from your typical Call Of Duty and Battlefields, which dominate the market today, you cannot go wrong with Shootmania.
-
Apr 18, 201380Though the menus are clunky and the game doesn't do much to welcome new players, the core game of Shootmania Storm is so wonderful to play that I can't help but want to always improve. It has a remarkably high skill ceiling, even if the basic controls seem simple at first. I believe the phrase is "easy to understand, difficult to master."
-
May 5, 201375At its core, Shootmania Storm is a competitive multiplayer shooter, but differs from its competitors via subtle twists. Outside of its gameplay it leaves many opportunities out cold though. The maps are boring, menu's unclear and the arsenal of weapons generic. Fortunately it leans on its followers and user generated content, which will hopefully fill these gaps.
-
Apr 12, 201370An impressively ambitious attempt to open up game modding to everyone, although at the moment the action is curiously backwards.
-
Apr 13, 201370ShootMania Storm is a shooter in every inch of the game. To get the best out of this game it is advisable to play with a group of friends, since the game is heavily focused on eSports and teamplay. ShootMania Storm lacks a few features like voice-chat and outdated graphics. Despite that, it is a great game for people that just want to play a fastpaced shooter.
-
May 6, 201385If you are looking for an arena FPS, simply, fun but at the same time able to offer an high level of challenge, then make it yours.
-
Apr 16, 201380We feel confident that Shootmania Storm will be worthwhile more for the future user-generated content than for the actual gameplay offer. Buy it if you want to invest in an interesting old-school competitive FPS.
-
Apr 29, 201373It does get a little tiresome, however, with so few options and - more importantly, perhaps - the lack of variety in the look of the maps.
-
May 1, 201370The biggest disappointment about ShootMania is how confused the game is, and the lack of direction will almost assuredly be the death of it.
-
Apr 15, 201380A pure shooter, a game that must be seen as a progressive challenge in order to compete. Its appeal is limited to only certain types of players but those who embrace it will have a really good experience.
-
Apr 10, 201365If Shootmania can gather creative types into its playerbase, capable of bringing it new modes, weapons and maps then it could turn out to be a varied and lasting experience. But for now it feels like a shell or wraparound for a game that hinges on players engaging with the myriad tools available.
-
Aug 27, 201270Shootmania Storm certainly has all the tools to build an amazing community, but it does at the same time lacks a real identity.
-
Apr 23, 201370Completely aimed at eSport, Shootmania offers a gameplay that will not please everyone. The weapon system will be hated by many, loved by some, who will praise that skills is everything in this FPS. A good title but aimed at a niche market.
-
Apr 21, 201380Shootmania Storm is essentially an old-fashioned “arena shooter", accessible but hard for beginners at the same time.
-
May 14, 201380If you want to shoot people in a different way and have a tolerance to learn, then ShootMania is the place to go and do that, and the future can only look brighter once the community floods the game with their creativity.
-
Apr 24, 201380The creators of Trackmania turn to the FPS genre, with a fast and direct game focused on multiplayer.
-
Apr 16, 201378ShootMania Storm is a game that strives for perfection, but misses out on a few important elements. The gameplay is excellent, but the level design and amount of levels spoil the fun a bit. As soon as you can look past this, you've got yourself a very good skill-based game that should keep you busy for weeks, heck, months even. There's a mode for everyone, so if you're looking for a multiplayer game where skill is the main focus, ShootMania might just be the thing for you.

Apr 11, 201370A faithful recreation of the rapid-fire FPS’ of yesteryear, with Nadeo’s usual sturdy foundations for community development.

Apr 17, 201375Shootmania Storm proves everybody wrong who thought that there are no innovations possible in multiplayer shooters. But with the focus on competition, the potent editor as well as gameplay, the visuals suffer tremendously.
