Evaluation

Particle Mace launched on January 22, 2015, graduating from Early Access. The developer's launch announcement on January 13, 2015 explicitly described the game as "finally done," signaling it shipped as a complete, finished product. All developer news posts are from the pre-launch and launch period (November 2014 through January 2015), covering feature patches and launch preparations. There have been no developer communications since launch day, no post-launch content updates, and no roadmap or announcements of future content. The only DLC listed is a soundtrack released the day after launch — a common companion product rather than a content expansion. The store description presents a fixed feature set (150 missions, 9 ships, multiplayer modes) with no mention of future updates or planned additions. This game launched as a complete arcade experience with no post-launch content cycle.

About this game

PARTICLE MACE is a game about capturing the thrill of classic arcade games with a new, physics based mechanic.

PARTICLE MACE is a game about trying not to die, but that's impossible.

PARTICLE MACE is explosive arcade fun for 1-4 players that pays homage to twitch games of the past, but replaces the typical guns with an unruly physics-based weapon. Take control of a tiny ship in an extremely hostile universe, and defend yourself as long as possible from enemy ships and asteroids using a collection of trash particles tethered to the ship. To survive, you must carefully navigate around the many hazards while building up momentum to swing your weapon into your foes or your friends, all in a field of brightly abstracted visuals and an entrancing procedural background.

Features:

■ 150 Missions

■ 1-4 Player Local Coop

■ 9 Ships to Unlock

■ 2-4 Player Deathmatch

■ 2-4 Player Arcade Co-op

■ Leaderboards

■ PS3, PS4, Xbox One & Xbox 360 Controller Support
