Room War

Visually stunning but mechanically shallow toybox shooter

Overview

Room War delivers a visually stunning freeware experience that immerses players in miniature space battles across a meticulously detailed bedroom landscape. While its core flying mechanics and sci-fi toybox concept earn passionate praise from many players, the experience is tempered by significant gameplay limitations that leave others frustrated. This Alienware competition winner excels in presentation but struggles to maintain engagement due to fundamental design choices that reduce challenge and long-term appeal. The result is a visually impressive but mechanically shallow arcade shooter that divides its audience.

Room War was the winner of The Game Creators Alienware Competition. You only need to play this game for a few seconds to see why it won.

The game takes place inside a brilliantly modeled 3D bedroom. The details in this room go way beyond what you expect from a freeware game.

The idea behind Room War is extremely simple, but very effective. You fly around the room, protecting your multi-display Alienware computer from the other evil aliens flying around.

To protect your computer system you will need to lock onto the alien ships with the right mouse button and shoot them with the left. You must do all this while pulling off impressive maneuvers and dodging obstacles in the room such as a guitar, a HiFi system, a TV and many other well designed objects.

There are 2 green alien ships. These are on your side and if you get killed you will repsawn into one of these.

Besides the well designed graphics, the gameplay itself is awesome. You will notice this if you get in a situation like I did when you are trying to lock on to a spaceship and you fly under the guitar and suddenly need to pull up at a 90 degree angle to avoid hitting the back of the couch.

I recommend this game to anyone who is looking for some fun and excitement. You won’t be disappointed.

One thing that Acidic picked up and I didn't, is that when you fly into a wall or any other object, you do not get damaged. This is probably the main flaw in Room War.
