some quick context
Deformers is a game from Ready at Dawn, the studio known for games like Daxter ,God of war series or their most recent title The order :1886. Deformers is different compared to the game mentioned aboved ,this game is a multiplayer only phisic game.
The idea :
Derformers let you incarnate a blobbly creature called the forms, those forms can be customised in a lot of ways (hats ,glasses ,body ,bags ,props,tags ,emotes ,sound).
In the game you can smash, jump, grab, shoot, block and use special abilities to defeat the opposing team.
The game is composed of 3 game modes ,those modes are :
-Form ball (football)
-deathmatch
-team deathmatch
with the option to do custom games.
The point of form ball is to score as many goals as you can before the timer runs out. Each time your team or the opposing team scores the ball will reset at the center of the field but not the players. In my oppinion the game mode should be change a little bit (like the fact that every time a team score a goal both team should be reset with the ball).
In team deathmatch and deathmatch the point is to score as many points by killing the opposing blobs to win. In this gamemode you can find some power ups that can give you weapons or special abilities or even make the map behave in a certain way (the map will spin, or lose it's gravity ,ect).
For new comers the game has a list of videos explaining the game mechanics, but if you want to master the game it will take a lot of time.
The main issues :
The game is fun but has a lot of issues and things that are quite annoying like :
-the servers are not enough stable or the netcode is not that good
-can't choose the server region
-for some random reason your team or the opposing team is not scoring any points
-when you are playing with a group the game will put the group members against each other or will find a game with not enough space for all the group
-their are a lot of leavers
-the game does not give the option to surrend or event dodge the game
-the game do not likes alt tabs for some reasons
Conclusion :
In it's core the game is simple to understand but hard to master ,but the game is more oriented for casual gamers ,if you are looking for a competitive multiplayer game you will not find that in this game.
I hope at release the game will not have the same issues then at the open beta, those are issues that can be fixed,but if not the game iwill be almost unplayable.
despite all that the game is worth trying ,in my oppinion the game is not worth it's price for the content it delivers it should be brought during sales or when it's price will go down a bit.
