I've been playing first-person shooters for a long time, so if you show me a man wall-running while blasting an enemy, a big smile is going to creep across my face. Empulse's gameplay, shown for the first time at the PC Gaming Show, has me grinning like an idiot, then.
There's a warm, fuzzy nostalgia to Empulse that 1047 Games are no doubt hoping will attract lapsed fans of arena shooter silliness. The trailer, a solid minute of frantic gunplay that ends with a bloke lamping a mech with a sledgehammer, immediately took me back to the glory days of Xbox 360 shooters and left me wanting more.
