Toribash 3, and Free!

Toribash 3.0 has been released to much fanfare. So much that the site and forums have been down for much of this week. (But now they’re back up.)

There are many major additions to this version of the game including shaders, environments, and the possibility of 2-on-1 or 2-on-2 matches. And best of all, the game is absolutely free to play once again! Yay, alternative business strategies!

mots - it’s basically a donation system. If you like the game, donate money to the developers (who ARE giving it to you for free), and you get a little in-game detail to differentiate yourself from other players in return.

It’s not like you can buy ways to win easier.

a couple of cool game modes added to version 2.0… but this alternative business strategy à la Korean mmorpg is a little stupid.

cool, green blood.. for $20 , or some insane price. there better be a way to bet on matches.

Speaking of good free games, the new version of dwarf Fortress JUST came out.

Feel free to delete this post I just don’t have a forum account… yet,

All I can say is a capital “Yay” in its most pure and clear form - Yay! I only played the first few version for a while and I never got to be actually doing something really cool on purpose, but it was worth the experimenting with the unique and awesome movement/fighting system alone. Now if just I’ll be able to get a friend to play this with me again… :)

Well there goes my free time for the next week or so. :D

Can’t get the shaders to work on my crappy computer, however…

Blood, blood! Blood everywhere! Love it! The set of mods and replays is really cool. Script making opponent a bit alive in single player is fun too.

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN. And once more - DAMN! I got some stupid shell32.dll and user32.dll error when trying to run this. The windows help centre didn’t help either :(

Verz - the same could be said of any game that goes down in price over time. As in almost all of them.

If I buy a game for $50, then see it for $5 in a bargain bin a year later, I can’t ask for a $45 refund. Live with it.

Toribash has its own currency, called Toricredits, which you can spend on things for your character in the game. You can pay real money for it, or, now, it looks as though they have a deal going on with Cherry Credits where you can buy a scratch card to earn some Toricredits.

I don’t understand the alternative business strategy. Can someone explain?

Fantastic! I gave this up when it went to a paid model. But it is awesome.
