Download recoil tank game

On a side note, the best graphics of the game are when you make another vehicle explode -- that really is the high note of the game.

Ninety percent of Recoil's audio revolves around explosions and things dying and melting or just plain getting destroyed. The computer hackers that lead you through the game via your tank's communication system are pretty good.

Other than that, there is not a whole lot to the audio. Let's face it, how much can you do with the audio when it is mostly explosions? I like manuals that spell it out for you very quick and precisely, especially if the game you're playing is a shooter. The Recoil manual does just that. It gives you pictures of all enemy vehicles, and weapons that you can pick up throughout the game. By just reading the first couple of pages you can be up and running around this futuristic world in no time.

I love first-person shooter games; there is no better game to play after a hard day of work. Unfortunately Recoil misses on that note greatly. I judge a shooter by how much I think of tactics and ideas when I'm not playing.

Not once while Recoil was in my possession did I find myself thinking of tactics and ideas for the game. I'm also pretty sick to death of this "computers take over the world" crap; can't anybody come up with fresh ideas anymore? There are some great possibilities for a first-person tank shooter -- just take a look at SSI's Panzer Commander ; that was a great first-person tank game that was believable.

Some of you out there might find this game very engrossing, or maybe I'm missing the point, but either way I recommend you wait for this game to hit the close-out bin until you buy it.

Recoil for Windows 10 Hello guys, I was wondering if someone knows how you can install Recoil its an old game from I guess, Its a tank game but its really fun I have been searching the whole web for the fix but never found it so any help is amazing.

Each level is densely populated with enemy vehicles and fortifications, and you need to employ a lot of hit and run tactics to survive. Also, some of your weapons have awesome range, and you'll need to take full advantage of this.

The enemy AI is not overwhelming, but it's marginally detectable. The enemies do try to evade your attacks, but otherwise its existence is well hidden. This isn't really a complaint, however, as a killer AI has little place in a shoot-em-up like this--their shear numbers will keep you on your toes. The locations of the mission have good variety, and each mission offers a balanced combination of open landscapes and winding corridors.

The addition of aquatic scenarios is also interesting and the underwater excursions in sub mode add another dimension to the action. The underwater environment isn't too convincing but it does a nice change of scenery. Perhaps my only true complaint with the gameplay is that there isn't enough of it. The missions are on the long side, but even at 30 minutes a piece, there's only 3 hours of gameplay. Granted, you'll need to replay some of the missions several times, especially at the higher difficulty levels, but you can easily finish Recoil over one weekend.

The game's vast selection of weaponry is definitely one of its highlights. The standard blaster is supported by a whole host of offensive gadgetry that includes mortars, mines, lasers, and missiles. Each type of weapon comes in a couple of types, offering great variety in your arsenal. There's also a Freon Cannon, a flame thrower and a lightning gun called the Arc Sabre. The Arc Sabre is one of my favourite weapons as it targets automatically without error, and damages multiple targets at once.

However, ammunition for the more exotic weapons is hard to come by and you'll need to rely on your standard-issue blasters quite a lot.

Other interesting weapon choices include the tether-guided missiles and nukes that allow you to guide the projectile as it flies through the air. I had many gleeful moments guiding tether-guided nukes around obstacles towards my hapless victims. Recoil 's graphics feature a lot of glitter and bright lights but it's been done to death.

We've been treated to the same pink and purple explosions in every action game released in the past year, so please excuse me for not wetting myself at the first sight of coloured lighting. The game's huge arsenal of weapons lends it plenty of opportunity to show off its repertoire of special effects, and shoot-outs are almost always spectacular light shows, but it's all just visual fluffery. Beneath this superficial eyecandy, the game is rather weak in the graphics department.

The levels are fairly varied in appearance, but everything is too blocky and the terrain is uninspiring and devoid of detail.

Some areas seem composed entirely of a couple of basic geometric shapes and even fewer textures. This may sound bad, but to be fair, this deficiency isn't too noticeable while you're blasting your way through the levels since the aforementioned explosions tend to hog your attention. In all, Recoil is fine looking game--as long as you don't look too closely. The audio in the game is above average. The light techno soundtrack isn't going to win any awards, but it gets the job done. Techno music is a popular choice of game developers for these futuristic shoot-em-ups and I'm sure most action gamers have heard their fair share of grating soundtracks.

Recoil 's musical selection is well suited to the game, complementing the game rather than disrupting it. The sound effects are also decent and the game makes every attempt to take advantage of sound cards that support A3D. The weapons are all accompanied by believable effects and the explosions pack a punch.

Recoil makes use of Westwood Chat,the familiar online service used by Red Alert , to support net play. Your results will vary with the quality of your connection, but I managed to play a few relatively lag-free game sessions. Other connection types allowed for multiplayer games are IPX and direct modem connections.

The game provides a selection of multiplayer maps, however, I was disappointed to discover that the game only supports deathmatch and a strange racing mode that's reminiscent of Carmageddon.

I would have really liked to play through the game missions in a co-op mode, and I can see no reason why this option should not have been offered. This definitely puts a damper on Recoil 's multiplayer playability as the deathmatch play only has limited appeal and the racing mode is more of a joke than anything else.

Recoil won't wow you in any way, and there's no one feature to write home about.
