Diep.io
Game info
The variety of games in the IO genre is amazing. The simplest game concept became so successful that a huge number of multiplayer titles were released on its basis. Most are gameplay clones of the first game of the genre - Agar.io. However, it doesn't mean that other games of this genre are dull and unsuccessful.
Diep.io (created by the developer of the original Agar.io) turned out to be quite interesting. This time, we are talking about the most realistic multiplayer tank battles, which take place in a large-scale, two-dimensional arena.
Tanks shoot a missile (one at a time), and with the growth of the level, they increase their damage, as well as critical for survival speed advancement. As in most games of this genre, the map contains not only enemies but also items that can be absorbed (destroyed from a distance) to increase your level.
The popularity of Diep.io is explained by the presence of many cooperative modes, as well as the ease of control. The entry threshold is quite low, although you'll still have to strategize for a successful game.
How to play Diep.io
The tank is controlled with WASD keys, and you need to shoot with the mouse (moving the mouse turns the turret, shooting - the left button). One click - one shot. The following interface elements are on the screen:
- The green bar below the tank shows the number of remaining hitpoints;
- Tank Statistics is located in the lower left corner;
- Tank upgrades (given after reaching 15, 30, and 45 levels) are located in the upper left corner;
- Tank information (level, type, and nickname) is located at the bottom of the screen;
- In the upper right corner are the statistics of the top ten most successful players;
- In the bottom right corner is a mini-map showing the location of the player and bases.
As mentioned above, in addition to enemy tanks on the map, there are objects destroying, which you can get points for level growth. There are three such objects in total:
- Square - 10 points, low number of lives;
- Triangle - 25 points, average number of lives;
- Pentagon - 100 points, large number of lives.
Each of the above figures can restore lives if it is stopped shooting. After the "demolition" of all HP, there is an "explosion," and points are awarded to the destroyer.
In addition to the single shooting mode in the game, there is an opportunity to shoot in bursts, for which you need to press the E key on the keyboard. It should be remembered that each shot is accompanied by a recoil, slightly affecting the trajectory of the tank.
Among other figures, we can single out "alpha pentagons" - especially large rectangles found in the center of the map. You get a lot of points for destroying these objects, but it's not easy. In addition to a large number of lives, these objects also have an "entourage" of small pink triangles called "crashers".
These guard objects collide with your tank and deal damage. But they too can be destroyed from a distance, earning 10 or 25 points (depending on the size of the "crasher").
Finally, you can randomly encounter and destroy a green figure on the map for a special reward. These encounters happen unexpectedly and are quite rare.
