The only area where the game seems a bit lacking is the actual shooting mechanics, as they are a bit wonky, with shots sometimes seemingly missing the target but then registering as a kill, and the sniper rifle's scope sway and reticle speed being just terrible for now. There are even editors in the game that enable you to go wild and create your own playable character models, as well as to add to the variety of the maps available, by either creating an entirely new one from scratch or modifying the existing templates. Your loadout affects your movement speed, making for a pretty organic scout/heavy class differentiation, as carrying lighter weaponry makes you more nimble and thus able to get out of harm's way when spotted by a sniper in the distance. You can use different weapons, from rifles with a slow rate of fire but higher accuracy over long distances, to close-proximity shotguns that won't even scratch your foes from afar, but won't require that much aiming when you're in close quarters, in addition to sidearms, grenades, mines and rocket launchers, and, of course, your trusty shovel and some building blocks of your own. You can even build your own ramps and stairs to access previously inaccessible areas, and because bullets leave their mark on the scenery, hiding behind a couple of blocks won't offer you immunity to enemy fire. You can always cut two blocks from a nearby wall in order to get a good vantage point that also offers some protection, or dig through the floor so that you can get to a certain area faster, without having to bother with a detour in order to take the stairs. If you play it like you would just any other shooter, you're severely missing out. Of course, it doesn't yet have the physics to make buildings collapse under their own weight or topple if you damage their support structure, and you have to completely cut every last piece of supporting terrain, but once you do that, they'll come crashing down, taking whatever unfortunate souls happened to be there with them. In addition to this, Blockstorm also features completely destructible terrain, meaning that if you don't like how a sniper is always hiding out in a tower, you can always take it down. The game's main appeal comes in the form of the extensive opportunities for sidestepping the boundaries of the shooter genre by digging trenches, making new corridors and shortcuts through walls, and erecting your own fortifications. The premise of combining gunplay with voxels and building sandbox mechanics is not new, but Blockstorm is probably one of its greatest incarnations yet. Blockstorm is definitely one of the games that the initiative was made for, as it already offers an exciting gameplay experience, in spite of it not being yet complete. The voxel-based shooter seems like a very solid offering, in spite of the Early Access stamp and the program's association with less than stellar experiences.
