hey everyone this is Steve from gamers Nexus tonight and today we were looking at a game called SCARA the blade remains please avert your eyes from the image to the left of the menu it is uh this game is currently on a Kickstarter there are no other players online and we're gonna have to play with BOTS this is effectively think of this as a sort of like quake or unreal except with melee combat in its current form and more of a fantasy environment so more similar to the likes of fury and scope and there are a couple other games out there that were like this but they're not very popular and I really wish they would be more popular so we have only two maps we can choose from this is only in Kickstarter right now it is not really ready for the public yet and we've got free-for-all and team deathmatch let's do FFA first so we can choose our character we only have two options I'm gonna go ahead and set every other one there to der no all right so we are loaded in the game this is it it is running on Unreal Engine 4 which is why some of the lighting effects and the the I guess I suppose that might be bloom but I'm not sure it looks kind of pretty it looks a little nice not too bad for you efore and ue4 of course now available for $20 a month which means you're gonna be seen a lot more games like this but that that doesn't necessarily mean a good thing because it actually makes the game market more saturated so let's look at the gameplay you can see here things are pretty slow paced in terms of movement I've got a shield I can hold it up with control and we can swing with click now here's here's where you're gonna hear me starting to tear this game apart the game has a very interesting combat and that I excuse me an a very interesting idea and that I want it to be quake or unreal accepts melee and fantasy but it's so slow in terms of movement and that's about that's about as fancy as it gets right there so our swings that's a swainton two three four that's a swing so pretty long space in between them you really only have those two attacks I just showed there that is right-click and left-click and then they can interrupt by hitting you with one of those one thing I have discovered is that once you hit an enemy one time if you keep hitting them while they're I just I just died that was a little bit a little bit strange but if you keep hitting them after that first hit lands they're never gonna be able to retaliate because of the way the cooldown works with the place that we start I was laughing because uh my camera went into the wall there so yeah this this is this Escarra it's uh it's definitely incomplete truth be told the mechanics need a huge amount of work because we've got two types of attacks movement is very slow as you can see here I can just keep swinging he's never going to be able to retaliate can you imagine how infuriating that would be as a player and a server it's it's just not uh it's not very balanced it's what it comes down to here cuz he's never gonna be able to move as long as I keep hitting him and then we get the killing blow which is very violent never uh never a bad thing in video games I suppose but that's I that's really it you've seen the game now deathmatch or team deathmatch rather also exists as you would expect at whoa whoa whoa what is that oh that guy is breakdancing so it's team deathmatch same thing except with teams of four so it is built for multiplayer it is a built with servers in mind you can host a server but right now of course no one has the game except for a handful of media and maybe some Kickstarter backers I'm not sure on that the game currently has I believe $25,000 toward it on a kickstart like at that but look at that rag doll 25 grand I think they want another 10 I think they want 35 at total and it's got a couple it's got about 10 more days maybe 11 more days of the campaign so here's what I think I quite honestly I think the developers should have waited a bit longer before unveiling this demo to the public because as you can see I've already grown tired of it oh that's that's Pleasant that is excellent right there sir such BM trying to try to give an overview he's using my strategy against me by the way so it was released little too early because it's it's a really the concept is cool it's just it's not there and I don't know that it will be there this this demo doesn't really instill confidence and that's why I think it's ok to wait through these a demo because of I saw something with a bit more mechanical intuition I would I would perhaps feel a bit better about this but just the way it feels feels everything in a game of this type it does not feel great actually I think getting away from this really slow brawler combat and moving toward something more twitchy would be better suited for this type of game and I actually would really like to see that fury did that and unfortunately fury I suppose the match is over unfortunately fury died very early because I had tremendous amounts of defects in the game so there's a gap in the market and it should be filled let's let's just get a really quick look at Team Deathmatch and then we're gonna close up this review okay so team deathmatch on the other map this one is a bit prettier Unreal Engine 4 is capable of doing phenomenal things with very little effort to get started of course it takes a good deal of effort to get something really truly optimized and and pretty but this is an indie title on ue4 it looks pretty damn good it's just all in the gameplay at this point so we were gonna try it and right click there we go got a good right-click in there and now he will never be able to hit me again and he's dead so this is team deathmatch is for before I believe I don't think these do anything I tried earlier they glow from the outside maybe pickups in the future maybe it's just a box I think I think red is bad so we're gonna hit red it's very violent and and I mean really that's that's it that's all there is to it so this is SCARA if you would like to read more about this game hit the link in the description below I'm just exploring right now excuse me hit the link in the description below you can read a little bit more see some screenshots you've seen everything there is to see if you're interested in it you can back in on Kickstarter I am personally going to say that I just don't I don't see it right now it needs more and and should have been withheld a bit longer by the developers so that's what I think you can disagree with me and give them the extra $10,000 if they need if you so please I will not stop you please subscribe to the YouTube channel if you found this content useful of course check out our Hardware reviews as always and I will see you all next time peace
