![]() ![]() Finally, an unnamed cave map was also shown. Tiki Towers is a solid blend of action and platforming and features the Uka Uka Epic Relic. Calamity Canyon is a vertical map with Nitrous Oxide firing laser blasts from his UFO. Just Beachy is a little flatter with its Epic Relic boosting Wumpa Fruit collection. In total, we got to see four, all of them inspired by locations from across the franchise. What Relic Stations appear and how much platforming is involved depends entirely on the maps. For example, one such epic relic we saw involved summoning Uka Uka and having him rain asteroids on the field. Each map contains an Epic Relic Station capable of swinging a match if activated. These stations introduce unique factors like encasing your character in a beach ball that allows you to easily knock enemies about. An additional wrinkle to the game are Relic Stations, which are powered by collectible relics littered throughout the map. These pads create a game of keep away, generating a balance between fighting over them and collecting fruit. These pads boost scoring when all are captured, but enemies can also easily turn them to their side. Pretty straightforward, but the game also incorporates various Crash elements to make it more strategic.įor example, each map is littered with Gem Pads to encourage platforming. The first team to bank 2000 Wumpa Fruit wins the match. The objective for each match is to collect Wumpa Fruit and bank it. Matches are fast-paced and take place on wildly-different arena-sized maps. In actuality, it’s a 4v4 competitive game that utilizes its platforming roots to create something unique. Developer Toys for Bob came up with this multiplayer concept during Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time’s development with the goal of taking the Crash DNA and marrying it together with competitive gameplay to create something that, in their words, is fresh and exciting.įirst and foremost, Crash Team Rumble is not a MOBA as the reveal trailer may have led you to believe. ![]() Crash has dabbled with different genres before. We recently got to check out the upcoming game to see how well this platforming franchise transitions to multiplayer.Ĭrash Team Rumble is a departure from the original formula, but not unprecedented. Crash Team Rumble may be the third party game from the Crash series, but it’s the first to feature competitive online multiplayer. Now Crash and friends are venturing into uncharted territory: online multiplayer. The Bandicoot has proven flexible with a number of successful spin-offs, though. Across numerous entries, players have smashed crates, collected Wumpa Fruit and spun Crash across various levels. Originally teased at the end of It's About Time and on the TV in the game's first level, development on the project seemed to stop as Toys for Bob was moved over to work on Call of Duty in the midst of the allegations made towards Activision Blizzard last year.The lovable Crash Bandicoot series has been, first and foremost, a platforming franchise since its inception. Each hero has unique skills and abilities to strategically use to work together to battle the opposing team, defend their own Wumpa bank, and capture key points around the map to help their team."Īs we've written about before, the tale of Wumpa League (now Crash Team Rumble) is a pretty strange one. The website for Crash Team Rumble has this description, "Crash Team Rumble is a 4v4 team-based competition where the iconic heroes and villains of the crash universe battle to capture more Wumpa fruit than the other to claim victory. The trailer for Crash Team Rumble also revealed several of the characters that will be playable in the game, including female Nitrous Oxide, Tawna, N.Brio, Dingodile, Neo Cortex, Coco Bandicoot, and an unnamed bat character who seems to have appeared in the ending to It's About Time. ![]()
