Speed Crew is a brand new co-op social gathering sport that permits gamers to take the function of a pit crew on a race observe. You and your crew will repair all types of mechanical issues on varied automobiles, as quick as you possibly can. The sport follows the identical form of mechanics as Overcooked and Moving Out, and is far more enjoyable to play with associates than alone. But does Speed Crew take first place relating to gameplay? Let’s test it out!
In the sport, gamers transfer across the pit space and use the varied instruments supplied to carry out upkeep on the automobiles that want help. For instance, you might want to vary a foul tire. This entails grabbing the jack, jacking the automotive up, eradicating the tire, grabbing a brand new tire, attaching it, then eradicating the jack. You will even do issues like substitute bumpers, repair dents, substitute elements underneath the automotive, put out fires, and so forth. This seems like lots, and it is should you’re enjoying solo, however Speed Crew actually shines when you will have two or extra gamers within the Pit. When a automotive pulls up, you’ll diagnose its points which will likely be highlighted in yellow so you realize what it’s good to work on. Splitting up and specializing in totally different duties is your finest wager.
It appears extra frantic, however lots simpler when you will have a number of teammates. This will help you get by means of extra automobiles quicker, and full every degree with a better rating. It’s additionally simply extra enjoyable on the whole whenever you’re not enjoying alone. I assumed it was humorous that gamers can get hit by the automobiles in the event that they’re not cautious and out of the best way once they pull in to the storage. This made for some humorous moments, seeing my teammates fly throughout the display screen. No want to fret although, as they are going to respawn after 3 seconds. You also can slap your teammates for some cause. This is simply one thing foolish the builders added for a little bit additional enjoyable.
The controls felt a bit sluggish for such a fast-paced sport. Having to seize all the instruments and put them again the place they go earlier than I may transfer on additionally felt irritating; it form of slowed issues down when all I wished to do was transfer quicker and get to the following automotive. This can also be a gameplay mechanic that’s much less irritating with extra gamers, as you possibly can assign duties to your teammates, like placing the instruments up or eliminating the scrap/rubbish. Don’t fear if you’re missing native associates to play with; Speed Crew has a web-based multiplayer mode that can help you be a part of three different gamers for the varied ranges. So, there’s actually no must play alone except you need some observe otherwise you like a solitary problem.
As far as graphics go, I really feel Speed Crew may have appeared a little bit higher. The approach it seems to be form of jogs my memory of a wise cellphone sport. It’s nothing horrible, however I wouldn’t name it interesting when it comes to character design or environments. It has moments the place it seems to be good, however different instances it simply seems to be a bit generic. The music isn’t a lot better, nevertheless it works for the theme of the sport. Overall, I believe the principle attraction with Speed Crew is the enjoyable you may be having whereas enjoying with associates.
If this seems to be fascinating to you, in I extremely suggest testing the demo on the eShop before you purchase it. That approach you may get a superb really feel for the controls and multiplayer mode. Speed Crew is a enjoyable sport to play with the household, a bunch of associates, or on-line with three strangers. However, I don’t assume it’s very enjoyable whenever you play it alone. If you’re searching for a enjoyable, co-op sport, positively add this one to your listing.
