While I love the randomness and craziness of Clustertruck, it actually contributes to the only significant issue I had with the game. If Clustertruck develops a strong community of level creators there could be tons of additional levels to play which will really add to the length of the game. The game includes a level editor where players can make their own levels and share them with other players. The real length of the game may come from the Steam Workshop though. While I have almost finished the game, I can see wanting to go back and replay quite a few of the levels since as you acquire more special abilities and actions you could approach the levels in different ways to improve your score/time. Unless there is a drastic increase in difficulty I expect to be able to finish the game in around 4-4.5 hours. There are apparently around 90 levels included with the game. I have currently completed 76 of the game’s levels. With enough practice and some luck (more on this soon) you shouldn’t have too much trouble beating any of the game’s levels.Īt this time I have played Clustertruck for around 3.5 hours. There are some levels where you will die a lot but with how short the levels are you can quickly restart the level and correct your mistakes. While I haven’t quite finished all of the game’s levels, I don’t really see Clustertruck becoming a really difficult game. You will get a couple easy levels, then get some more difficult levels, and then it is back to some easier levels. The game doesn’t really have a steady ramp up of difficulty from level to level. Regarding difficulty I would say that Clustertruck is a little uneven. Most of the levels are quite good but you will occasionally find a dud Some of the levels are kind of dull though and kind of feel like retreads of other levels. These levels find unique ways to use the different mechanics to create a truly entertaining experience. Some of the levels are fantastic and are action packed as you are constantly trying to avoid obstacles. Overall I found the levels to be a little hit and miss. With everything going on around you, you always need to be on your toes since one truck crash can easily cause a chain reaction that affects many other trucks. The game relies on quick thinking and reflexes to avoid dangers that pop up in your path. Pretty much every level is only around 15-20 seconds long. The basic setup of the levels are quick little scenarios that introduce and utilize the different mechanics introduced throughout the game. While it takes a little while to adjust to jumping between trucks, once you get a hang of it the game is actually quite easy to play due to the responsive controls. While the game may look like chaos to observers, the game is more straightforward than you would think. In a lot of the levels there is chaos everywhere. As you are speeding along, trucks are crashing and exploding all around you. The game feels like you are in an action movie. The main reason why I believe Clustertruck is so enjoyable is the game’s feeling of speed and action. How could you not be interested in a platforming game where you are forced to jump between speeding vehicles? After playing through most of Clustertruck’s levels I have to say that even though I had high expectations for the game, Clustertruck ended up meeting all of my expectations. When I first heard about Clustertruck a while ago, it was a game that I was really interested in trying out. In the world of Clustertruck you are only allowed to touch the top or sides of the trucks since touching anything else will automatically lead to you failing the level. In Clustertruck you have to jump between speeding semi-trucks that are constantly getting destroyed by various traps. In a normal game you could run, walk or drive from one point to the other. In Clustertruck you play an unseen hero that is trying to make their way from point A to point B. Well Clustertruck decided to take advantage of this action movie staple and ended up creating an original, exciting, and fun platformer. This is a great premise for a platforming game since you are just replacing your typical platforms with moving vehicles. What I find interesting is that there really aren’t many video games that have tried to craft this idea into an action game. From jumping between vehicles to fighting the bad guys this idea has lead to some exciting moments for action movies. We at Geeky Hobbies would like to thank Landfall Games and tinyBuild for the review copy of Clustertruck used for this review. Other than receiving a free copy of the game to review, we at Geeky Hobbies received no other compensation for this review.Ī staple of the action movie genre is the idea of performing stunts on the top of moving vehicles.
