Gear Up

Gear Up is an online multiplayer game that looks exceptionally fresh, it’s vivid, dynamic and most important, it’s about tanks that blast the paint off of each other using a wide range of high calibre weapons. It’s a game that looks rather harmless but in reality, it packs quite the punch.

Right off the bat, in Gear Up there’s no time to stand still and take your sweet time to aim and eventually shoot. Each map is a warzone and should be treated as such every second.

There are three game modes (so far), Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Conquest and each one takes the cake when it comes to quality tank fights. One thing that you’ll get to notice is how often you’ll have to adapt your tank maneuvers according to both the environment and your opponents.

You see, in Gear Up you get to customize your tank in a lot of ways and propulsion is not an aspect that has been overlooked. You can fit your machine with fans, hover discs, spider legs, turbines, vintage gets, buggy wheels and even a slimeball can be used to roam around. When equipped, these give you battlefield adaptability and mobility enabling you to easily chase enemies, get vantage points and if it’s the case, retreat. This aspect alone skyrockets the fun factor in Gear Up.

Since you get to ride into the battle on a ball of slime, why not equip your tank with a dragon cannon, a large revolver, a Tesla gun, a vintage laser or a harpoon gun. They are all available for purchase with in-game earned credit, as are all the rest of tank parts and accessories.

Each weapon does different damage, it has it’s own fire rate, impact radius, mass and maximum available ammo, properties which really matter when you choose the weapon according to the rest of your tank’s configuration. In all fairness, Gear Up is a very well balanced game when it comes to combat mechanics and arsenal design.

And speaking of design, in terms looks, Gear U is great. It doesn’t overdo it with details but those that exist are very tasteful and really make the game unique.

There is much more to Gear Up than what has been mentioned here. A lot more. To summarize, Gear Up looks great, gameplay is dynamic, tank customization offers plenty of variety and it all results in quality fun.
