Diabotical
Diabotical, développé et édité par The GD Studio, est sorti le 3 septembre 2020 sur PC (Microsoft Windows). Il s'agit d'un jeu de tir et d'aventure free to play, jouable en multijoueur et au rythme rapide, se déroulant dans un univers coloré de robots. Les joueurs peuvent créer leur propre Eggbot et évoluer sur plus de 30 cartes à travers plus de 15 modes de jeu, le tout fonctionnant sur le Glitch Engine.
L'accueil critique est mitigé, avec une note agrégée de 44,88. PLAY! Zine a salué un « solide concurrent pour le titre de meilleur shooter de style arène de la nouvelle génération », tout en relevant un concept étrange de petites boules qui s'affrontent. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic considèrent Diabotical comme l'un des meilleurs FPS rapides du marché, clairement inspiré de Quake 3 Arena, tandis que d'autres rejettent le jeu en estimant que l'eSport y est une blague et que personne ne souhaite un retour à Quake 3.

« A solid contender for the title of the best new age arena style shooter. Weird concept with little balls running around, shooting at eachother, but other than that, solid fun, good weapons, nice mechanics and free to play. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Diabotical is one of the best fast paced first-person-shooters right now on the market. This game is inspired by QUAKE 3 Arena and it gets obvious real quick. It has an infinite skill ceiling, which makes it really fun to learn and get better in. It's free, you should try it out. It is one of the most polished indie shooters on the market with a bad player counts. If you are thinking about trying this game, I would recommend seeking out help for newbies since the current players are quite experienced. »
« eSports are a joke. So was this game, no one plays Quake 3 today, so who would want it again? good riddance lmao »
« A great basic gameplay formula (quake live) for a competitive shooter not based on heroes, abilities, or battle royale. Responsive developers with regular updates, not afraid to experiment. The evolving arenafps these days, wow! »
« Extremely feature rich, smooth-running, fun and vibrant arena shooter built mostly on the fundamentals of Quake. Map Editor, Hud Editor, tonnes of configuration options, plenty of game modes, and in-game lobbying/queuing/parties. Some little bugs and shortcomings but overall the game is great. »
« It's a solid Quake Live clone with a few modern improvements. Overall, the game is ok but is a bit buggy with very small player base. Hopefully will improve in time with updates. »
« Very good arena fps game. Fluid and responsive controls, runs well for most, super active devs, and no pay-to-win or FOMO bull... Tonnes of maps as well. Some original modes like Wipeout. Fast gameplay and verticality; it's what TF2 should have been! »
« Game modes are bad, movement is awful, maps are so big for duels, no server browser, no marketing, bad patches, wipeout and aim arenas made this game looks like multiplayer kovaak. »
« Best Arena First Person Shooter you can find now. The game is still under development and can only get better. Anyone who has played AFPS should definitely try it once »
