It does not have single player mode (unless you want to arena fight bots), but really, there is no story, no anything, they could have at least make some effort and make 5 hours go-trough single player sotry mod. Without it, for me it is waste of time and money..... Very Fun Top down shooter. Reminds me of the good ol days of Glory shooters like UT and Quake with gloriously violent weapons and twitch play. Nice innovative style with music that feels appropriate. Bought the 4pack and shared it out.. So far I've only been playing this offline with bots due to lack of players, but here's a quick summary:Good:+You can use up to 15 bots (I would recommend using less though)+Colours, music and SFX are great+Alternative view settings (screen rotates with camera for an FPS feel or the classic fixed camera)+Weapons are satisfying to use and visually appealing+There is a simple melee attack +It can actually be quite challenging (unless I'm just crap)+There's a map editorBad:-Good luck finding anyone online-Map variation is just different ship interiors-Can get repetitive. Best for 10-15 minute games every now and then.-The 40% off sale price at \u00a35.39 still feels pricey compared to other games. It's good, but there's not a lot to do.Misc info:> 9 weapons (Machine gun, shotgun, bounce baby, hot stuff, big mama, railgun, disperser, blaster, flamethrower)> You can tweek the camera position (how far ahead or behind of you it is), toggle an aiming line and crosshair> Skirmish mode has 4 game types; deathmatch, TDM, CTF and last man standing.> Highscore mode pits you against one opponent. Shooting\/killing him increases score, dying decreases it.> Basic graphics, sound and control options - nothing special> You have several player skins to choose from and a few other options> It's a top down arena shooter, in case you missed that :)Score: 8\/10I like it and think it has fine quality, but the price is a little steep for the amount of content\/replayability. Great in short bursts.. Buy it. Dont even think about it.. This game is alot of fun to play so... thank god for bots?. This is a top-down multiplayer shooter with play style reminiscent of Unreal or Quake (but in 2d, obviously). There's a decent variety of weapons from plasma guns to flame throwers to rocket launchers and the line of sight mechanic is pretty well executed. Overall, technical execution is good.On the flip side, the game play doesn't hook me. I like shooters like 1942 and enjoy a ton of bullet hell shooters and such, but I don't really enjoy playing this one. Aside from weapon effects, the colors are pretty dark and the visuals are somewhat drab. I tend to get stuck on walls quite a bit -- not really the fault of the designers, just a quirk of the gameplay style or map design I guess. Some of the pathways are pretty narrow.With the tight corridors and limited field of view, a lot of battles end up as whack-a-mole as you strafe in \/ out of a hallway, circle strafing or spinning your mouse around to fight in a larger room. It's kinda disorienting and anyone trying to watch you play is going to get sick.Unreal Tournament introduced a lot of Z-axis action (jumps, multiple elevations, vertical maps, etc.) to try to make the FPS experience a bit more dynamic and I think with only 2 axes you miss out on the opportunity for really cool environments and varied pathways to fight in.. Just like the description: Alien breed top down experience mixed with an Unreal Tournament FPS arena gameplay. Also good for those 5 minute break instant skirmeshes with bots.Double kill! Triple Kill! Rampage!. My friends and I have taken to calling this game "Tremor". Daedalus is Quake 3 Arena put through a blender and distilled to its core elements. It's great for quick bursts of action gaming, with games usually only lasting 5-10 minutes. Hence the moniker, as it's a mini-Quake.It's a lot of fun, and has a map editor and various game modes to keep it interesting.A recommendation for new players: The default control scheme is set to "FPS" mode, where the view rotates in the direction your character is facing. I found this control setup to be clunky and difficult to use. I recommend switching the control mode to "Classic" and checking the "Always face crosshair" option. This locks the view rotation, and the movement keys move you in an absolute direction, not a relative one. I.e., W will move towards the top of the screen, regardless of which way you're facing. It's much more intuitive for me. Always face crosshair allows you to more precisely control your character's facing, which is useful as you can fire faster, you move quickest when facing the same direction you are travelling in, and visibility is always a concern.Another thing that's not made explicitly clear: Hit 'F' to turn on your flashlight. It's a bit of a double-edged sword, though. It'll illuminate darkened rooms and corridors, but it will also cause you to stand out to anybody else in the area. I recommend using it short bursts. Turn it on, survey the room, turn it off, and then immediately reposition.. the game is awesome, but no one playing it!. It's pretty much what it promises - Q3 \/ UT in a top-down perspective and an environment that reminds one of Alien Breed. Could use some more players though.Highly recommended if you like old school arena fragging!
