About the Game
Brink is a multiplayer shooter set in a future in which almost the whole earth is flooded by water. The Ark is one of the last inhabitable places left, but there is a conflict between the security guards and the resistance. Now they are in open conflict and try to get the upper hand. A major part of the experience is two single-player campaigns, but those are practically the same as the multiplayer, just with bots and cutscenes.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Every map has several areas, all with their own goals. Brink utilizes an automatic mission system, meaning if a player soldier starts the mission "planting a bomb", all other players receive the mission to defend him. Performing those missions rewards experience points which can be used to upgrade players characters and unlock new abilities for them. If there is the need for a specific class, players can always change his class from an in-game terminal. The latter also has access to the so-called "SMART" system, which allows them to climb over obstacles or slide over the ground when holding a button.
Standout Features
- All those goals need the use of one of the four classes: the soldier is responsible for brute force, medics heal their buddies, engineers can use gadgets and operatives hack computers.
- Overall there are four basic mission types (escorting, destroying, defending and using a device) along with class specific goals.
- When creating a new character, the game offers many options for individualizing; but this has only optical effects.
- The one exception is the body measures; a big guy can use big guns while a light character is faster.
