Clonk Rage

Clonk Rage is a game that blends several genres into one, creating a complex title with loads of depth to it. It’s a rather odd game that has retained its original look from way back, but it’s an interesting game none the less.

In the game, you get to control a number of little humanoids called Clonks, and you must use them to complete a wide number of missions and challenges. The game can be played in both singleplayer and multiplayer modes, with emphasis being put on the latter because it’s a lot more fun when up to six people battle each other on a small map using all kinds of weapons and contraptions.

Clonk Rage was created with the intent of offering you a new addiction thanks to the wide variety of content. Apart from the default theme, the game offered several others meant to diversify things a bit, to experiment with different mechanics and gameplay. For this, it provides several extensions, Knights, Hazard, Far worlds, Golems, all of which are built into Clonk Rage.

Clonk Rage comes with a large and detailed voice-narrated tutorial that makes understanding the game a lot faster than you would normally expect. The downside, it’s from the initial stages that you experience some of the bugs that Clonk Rage comes with.

For example, double-tapping a key will issue a commands to the little Clonk, but at times, it just won’t work. Other times, the controls feel messed up. Combine that with the outdated graphics and you get a game that loses charm when it doesn’t work as it should.

To end, Clonk Rage is, or rather was, a nice game to have. It features a lot of content and the multiplayer feature certainly comes in handy, but it feels left behind on a lot of things.
