Though that might be the point, after all.
Thankfully, UEBS allows for low and even joking potato visuals to compensate for the large number of characters on screen, but even then, it is sometimes impossible to make UEBS visually striking.įrankly, once the novelty of thousands of dinosaurs eating laser-toting spacemen wears off, UEBS kind of just sits there. Camera controls are a bit finicky and the games own framerate simply chugs on higher settings. Movement sometimes barely registers and attacking is a simple click of the mouse when in range against an enemy, which may or may not even strike your foe as hit detection is dodgy at best. The possession controls, for example, are incredibly stiff. Sadly, this is where the fun kind of ends. Another fun bit is the ability for the player to possess any character on screen, getting into the thick of the fray as they see fit. For a few hours of mucking around, you can have mass battles between medieval knights and World War 2 soldiers, catapults against tyrannosaurus rex, and even chickens fighting penguins! Special appearances by hero characters, godly beings with high stats compared to the rank and file troops, also mix things up in epic 1 v 10,000 matchups.
The sheer novelty of a mass battle is what carries any motivation the player would have in the end. The war against the poultry threat continues… The number of troops on screen can also be staggering, with hundreds of thousands of characters generated into about ten different battle maps is, at least at first, impressive. The number of choices is respectable, with standard and oddball stuff mixed in to satisfy any sort of weird fantasy the user wants to generate. Each of the troop’s stats are fully customizable as well so, you want super-powered hulking zombies or tough to kill chickens, that is possible in the simulator. Brilliant Games supplies a ton of options for troop types, broken down into different genres and classes. More of a tool to mess around with, the entire point of UEBS is to have mass armies kill each other in real-time. To be clear, Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator, or UEBS, is not really a game in the truest sense. Some games try to emulate that with odd premises, such as indie developer Brilliant Games and their own strange concoction, Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator. Goat Simulator, Garry’s Mod, even The Untitled Goose Game are comedy titles with funky premises, but even in their strange, broken states, they have an appeal to them that shines through. You get oddball concepts or mechanics that you don’t expect to work, but often do thanks in part to their charm.
