Plain Sight

"A 3D multiplayer arcade game with robots, bombs, swords and messed up physics."

Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Beatnik Games
Released: 22 Mar 2010
Genre Strategy
Platform

For anyone whose memory doesn't stretch back to the beginning of 2009 (it was last decade after all), Plain Sight is a multiplayer arcade game set across 13 space-themed maps and features a unique twist on the standard Deathmatch mechanic. Playing as your average ninja robot about town, you begin each game with a sword and a quantum of energy. Leaping across each level leaving a bright trail in your wake, you must destroy other ninja robots to steal their energy. As you get more energy you change colour and get bigger, stronger and brighter. This is where the catch comes in! You only get to convert your hard earned energy into game-winning points if you blow yourself up. The more opponents you take out in the explosion, the higher the multiplier, the higher the score!

  • Battle up to 20 players
  • 5 self-destructive gameplay modes, ‘Deathmatch', ‘Ninja! Ninja! Ninja! Robozilla', ‘Lighten Up', ‘Team Deathmatch/Weakest Clink' and ‘Capture The Flag'
