ARMAJET - Another Soldat inspired game

So they've been advertising this game all over reddit in arenaFPS and indiegames sub sections, saying it's like Unreal+Quake+Soldat. I don't see armor pickups anywhere though so I don't think it's gonna be like Quake/UT at all. Ah, never mind, seems like there's some. It could be like Soldat without the butter smooth aim/movement and trickjumps.. I don't know. Visuals look nice, but the movement looks wonky. What do you guys think?

Nope, for the movement. Map graphics - nice, player's not so much...mobile support? Blah.

Looks like storm2D with movement. It actually reminds me of Crust which is a nice multiplayer space shooter for mobile devices but unfortunately lacks popularity... well my wooden phone and tablet can't handle it anyway. I think people tend to play simple but inovative (usually stoopid, just to kill time) games on their phones. This one might be aiming on gamers who aren't afraid of "more complicated" gameplay. Hopefully not p2w and similar bs. This is how good mobile game might look like in my view and tbh I don't expect any quake/soldat-like mechanics in this field. But yea, mobile gaming ain't much entertaining. The best experience I've had was playing games like worms, crust, airhockey on single device with friends... that was just hilarious.
I'll give it a try anyway. I might be actually getting a new phone by the time alpha comes.

maybe someday someone gets it right. Soldat has just always had something no other 2d combat game has.

So I've just remembered about this game because I got the new phone. It's a bit late unfortunately because alpha was 2weeks ago :/.
Has anyone tried it? Seems good, you can check saved broadcasts at mobcrush.com/armajet

This "something" might be the movement/player physics that make the game control like no other game, and lets you perform a wider variety of moves than most games let you. Though it's also harder to learn, which is probably what the other games' devs are scared of, so they opt in for something simpler so it's easier for new players to get into.

They probably used something like unity or unreal engine to build this game, and these things have physics implemented in a rather sane manner. I guess if MM were to write soldat today, he'd also use some game engine instead of writing all by himself and we'd end up with a very different game than we did.

Nice game btw, might give it a try.

Yeah totally agree, SOLDAT has soul! It nails its atmosphere amazingly well, but it's sadly very underrated. Soldat is seriously incredible, the gameplay and its movement, the atmosphere, it all lives up to the hype. It makes me very excited to see how much devs return to their regular updates and i hope they keep doing it and improving it even more so maybe one day we'll have far greater playerbase, account system, anticheat, steam and other cool stuff. I really do believe in this. This game is worth it because once you play it, it takes over your soul and you're done, you're forced to stay here forever. This game has soul and sucks you in like Jumanji. No other game has this and no other game will ever come close to Soldat because no other game has a real soul. You have to understand. Soldat is alive while other games are just games.

And you don't sound biased at all.

Well, this is a smartphone game so you can't really give players possibility for advanced moving because they got only one finger to move their character. The other one goes for pointing the targets with weapon and shooting.

Seems okay as a casual game to play from time to time when bored but nothing more imo
