Aside from the short training mission at the start of the game, there’s no single player aspect. About 55-60 hours, based on those numbers.ĭirty Bomb is purely multiplayer. To buy a character with credits, you need 50,000. Games vary in time, but can last quarter of an hour. Play reasonably well in a match and you’ll probably earn about 170ish credits on average per game. When I say playing I do of course mean ‘giving up your day job and just playing this instead.’ Characters can cost up to £7.99 apiece, so if you want the whole roster it will set you back quite a few pennies with the additional 9 available for purchase. I like turrets.įrom the start there are three characters available, with more being unlocked when you spend some cash or earn game credits by playing. In Dirty Bomb’s case that means paying for more characters, and items such as Loadout cards, which I’ll get to in the course of the review.īushwhacker drops a turret. That means it’ll cost you nothing to get started, but as with every free to play game the developer has to make cash somehow. Unlike previous titles from Splash Damage, Dirty Bomb is free to play. Splash Damage appeared to have lost their way, along with the magic which made games like Quake Wars such excellent squad based shooters. With Brink being the most recent PC shooter from Splash Damage I’ll admit that I didn’t hold out much hope for Dirty Bomb. Players abandoned it in their droves extremely quickly. I actually didn’t mind Brink too much, but the gameplay, speed, and controls were ‘consolised’ in the worst possible sense of that word, hampering the game’s full potential. That gives them quite some pedigree (especially in my eyes,) but it’s only fair to mention the rather more disastrous mark on their record: Brink. Shooter fans will know developers Splash Damage from classics such as Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and my favourite all-time shooter Quake Wars: Enemy Territory. Plus, let’s face it, it’s near essential for PC-only titles to be on Valve’s service, whether they like it or not.ĭirty Bomb is now open beta, and while we don’t make a habit of reviewing games in a beta state here at PC Invasion, we have been informed that this beta will be the same as the final release version. At the start of 2015 the game launched on Steam, which was an extremely wise move because Nexon’s own launcher was a right pain in the backside to use. I’ve had the opportunity to observe Dirty Bomb’s development from the very first alpha, and in that time the game has gone through quite a few changes.
