Introducing the mech combat game from Double Fine, headed to Xbox Live Arcade. In Trenched, a tower defense shooter from Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions, you join The Mobile Trench Brigade and protect humanity from the evil Monovision menace. You can use a combination of mobile firepower and stationary defenses to turn the tide of war in our favor. You can customize your trench with thousands of possible loadouts and you will march side by side with allies from around the world as you fight your way through Europe, Africa, and the Pacific.


Stolen from XboxReviewtv on Youtube.

Since it's A) a Mech Game, and B) From Double Fine, I'm getting it.

Alright, I have Trenched, and am giving a review.

Spoiler:
If you don't buy this game, I will find you. It is funny, fast, witty, and above all, a hell of a lot of fun. four player co-op is a blast, and with seven+ hours of Gameplay for 15 dollars? You'd have to be insane to pass this deal up!


Anyway, Slarg, do you have it yet?

It's a blast. Get it so we can all play together. I just got a automatic Sniper Cannon known as "Baby Nasty". It's awesome

I was going to be so over this.

But I live in Britain.

Hopefully the issue with the copyrights or whatever it is will be sorted soon. Then I might have a reason to turn my 360 on again.

Yeah yeah.

Oh, and just so everyone knows, I'm a level seven, and I run:

Karlsson Mk1

Left Side: "Baby Nasty" and "The Ripper"

Right Side: Changes on situation. Usually "Baby Nasty" and "The Ripper", but I've been trying out "Lieutenant Archie", a disgusting Flak Cannon, and will also have a Massive Artillery Cannon on hand.

Yellow Paintjob

Standard Tripod Legs (Fortify/Quickload)

Advanced Machine Gun Turret

Advanced Repair Crane



If you couldn't tell, I play a very support heavy role, filling in as long range firepower.

Gathering the Informations.

You two will want to add Nick Risley to your XBL friends list then so I can come join you.

Europeans will have to wait to play it though, since there's a copyright issue because of a board game named Trenched.

We'll add ya, Kan. Don't worry.

Anyway, what Trench do you usually run?

Yup, I'll have to add you too, Kan.

I run a Sprinting Engineer Trench with a focus on getting as many turrets out as I can, along with a Ripper and some Flak Gun with Shred I just found while playing with Chowder.

Good lord, I don't even know. I played with Spyfunk when the game released, and we'd swap roles.

I had a pretty nasty Heavy with a pair of heavy sniper rifles(ones that have the 'Ricochet++' perk) for awhile.

I think what we should do is grind for some Heavy Weapons in Africa. That's where you get Gunginir, a 300 damage Sniper Cannon.

Sad, it's xbox only, which means I will never, EVER play it unless an XBLA emulator comes along.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Oh wow, I've only ever found "Ricochet" as a Perk, I can't imagine what ++ would do to it.
