While the reasonably-priced classes allow for a variety of team tactics, the lack of voice chat (planned to be added in the future) holds back the team-based element. The generic light-medium-heavy classes are free, but if you’d rather play as a stealthy infiltrator or defensive engineer, for example, be prepared to play for hours and hours or shell out a few bucks. And the battles that take place between players attempting to outmaneuver each other are like no other.Ĭapture the Flag is the main attraction, and the varied class system fosters some interesting team tactics. Combined with the universal “skiing” ability, allowing players to maintain momentum by sliding across terrain without friction, movement becomes a meaningful skill in “Tribes.” Maintaining speed across the game’s massive levels is challenging but exhilarating when done properly. The big hook for “Tribes” is that every player has a jet pack most encounters take place while flying through the air. Thankfully, even without paying a dime, “Tribes: Ascend” is pure adrenaline and a breath of fresh air for multiplayer shooters. Independent of how great the game might be after you’ve shelled out some cash, its popularity will be based on how strong the purely free experience is. You get all the maps, but only three classes to try out. What this means is that when played for free, “Tribes: Ascend” is basically a demo.
