    Slam Bolt Scrappers is packed to the brim with risks. And it's also full of rewards. Despite the chaotic nature, the infrequent failures followed by "Wait, what just happened?", and the lack of online multiplayer, you should still go spend money on Slam Bolt Scrappers right now.

    Slam Bolt Scrappers is definitely unique and original, but not without its share of issues. Still, you will be hard-pressed to find a more chaotic and fun experience, especially if you have three friends and four controllers. I dare you not to get wrapped up in the insanity.

    With four-player support, you could do a lot worse than Slam Bolt Scrappers. [Issue#204, p.97]

    Slam Bolt Scrappers is an interesting concept hampered by trying to do too many things without focusing on delivering a solid, overall experience.

    It's sad you'll spend more of your time fighting to make sense of it rather than simply fighting with your friends.

    If you're in college or live near lots of friends who regularly visit your abode as a group to play games, Slam Bolt Scrappers is perfect for you. Unfortunately, I don't have either of those luxuries. If you're in the same boat, you may want to think twice before laying down your money.

    You may have a modicum of fun with Slam Bolt, but with its short length and unbalanced mechanics, you're mostly in for a bland experience.

My lone datapoint for giving this game a ten is simple: We've been playing SBS every day since we started working on it. To this day, we still play it constantly in the office. I'm not aware of any other developers that play their own games for fun as much as we do. So I'm giving SBS a 10. I hope you all have as much fun playing it as we do!… Expand

    Brick-stacking puzzler with a competitive twist. As you build, squares turn into weapons like rockets and screws which you can use to attackBrick-stacking puzzler with a competitive twist. As you build, squares turn into weapons like rockets and screws which you can use to attack you opponent's tower. And to get the jigsaw pieces, you have to fight monsters and (bear with me) ninjas, which leave behind special power-ups. It takes a short time to get to grips with everything that's going on, but then it's a frantic, often stressful, but also mega satisfying building battle. It's also at its absolute best in multiplayer, where you can gang up on mates for maximum shouty outrage. Low on longevity, but Slam Bolt Scrappers is loud, brash and brilliantly blocky.… Expand
