In their ongoing mission to capitalise on reminiscences of PC gaming 1992-2006, THQ Nordic have introduced a brand new Comanche game. The publishers say that is “based on” Novalogic’s Comanche sim sequence from the 90s, although the one similarity appears to be having helicopters. THQ Nordic say this right here new Comanche is a “modern, team-based online multiplayer helicopter shooter” the place gamers may even fly wee drones combating one another. Okay. That’s tremendous and all however this does sound far sufficient past the unique idea that utilizing the Comanche identify may largely remind folks of what the game will not be. Weird.
I can not deny: these are certainly helicopters. Here, the similarities finish. Novalogic’s Comanche games have been on the arcadier finish of the sim scale however certain didn’t have drones or cloaking gadgets. And have been primarily singleplayer. And agh, why would you not give this game its personal identify? It comes throughout as a insecurity within the game standing by itself deserves. But are individuals who fondly keep in mind a decades-old sim sequence the kinds to now be searching for 4v4 multiplayer with dronefights? Weird.
Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug, I suppose. That’s the guideline of THQ Nordic, an organization so eager to capitalise on nostalgia that they purchased and put on the identify of a lifeless firm.
Made by Nukklear, this right here new Comanche is because of enter Steam Early Access in early 2020, by the tip of March. No agency phrase but on how lengthy early entry will final, or how massive the plans are. WEIRD. See the game’s website for extra.
