Have you ever wanted to throw your monitor across the room? Well, fear not; LASERS has you covered. This Title was Developed and published by Straight Back Games. Now let us get into it, and Dodge some lasers.

Usually, I would now start talking about the plot. Still, the game LASERS was precisely created for its brutally hard multiplayer and surviving deadly lasers until only one person survives or reaches the end goal.

Right out of the gate, you are faced with a tutorial to show you the ropes, after completion, you have three options to choose from when playing. You have public, which is essentially multiplayer, but we will talk about that later.

Next, we have custom games making it adaptable and challenging your way through, an unknown limit of players to face off against on maps of your choosing, difficulty, timers, and the number of rounds to win.

Public/multiplayer was essentially dead at the time of review, but I found two games to give me a decent perspective. Yet, I found this mode less desirable and thrilling at the same time, while seeing all the people around you get sliced into pieces. Still, with multiple players, it’s almost impossible to know what you’re doing, let alone run, dodge, and flee to escape those pesky lasers.

LASERS controls essentially are with the WASD for movement, SPACE for jumps, and SHIFT for sprinting. C and Z are used for crouching and going prone, and the mouse cursor is for looking around, easy enough controls to get around quickly.

The graphics look somewhat rudimentary, with design features that give it that little bump it needs to almost look like the real deal. Static anomalies are in the sky to make it seem like a simulation, along with a vast amount of lasers that are static, moving, and straight-up aim bots filling your screen with a vast light show beckoning you.

The music in LASERS is tame until you’re fighting for your life, with a punchy and catchy beat that fuels your blood to try your best until the lasers spill all that fueled-up blood. There is also sounds from the lasers cutting, your shoes squeaking on the ground, and alarm bells warning you that you don’t have much time left.

Overall, my thoughts on LASERS were up and down, as the game needs a lot of work to be playable and fun, but in its current state, spending time with it is just not enjoyable. I understand it’s a free game, so it’s essential to consider that LASERS has a cool concept. I liked the game, but too many little faults turned into a big ones, I look forward to seeing improvements soon.
