If that sounds rather basic, it's elevated by another twist - blue ribbon challenges, which set you a secondary objective to complete for each wave. Finishing off enemies in creative ways earns points and cash - points go towards fighting your way up a leaderboard, while cash can be ploughed into weapon and vigor upgrades at the hub area you visit between waves. Me? I loved the combat in Infinite, so this should be right up my street.Ĭlash in the Clouds is a wave-based arena game, then, where Booker and Elizabeth - now rather mute - team up to see off increasingly devilish combinations of enemies over four maps that have been modelled on, but not directly lifted from, familiar sections of Columbia. If you endured rather than enjoyed the fighty bits of BioShock Infinite, then you might prefer just to look up the secret stuff on YouTube. That will come in two parts, the first of which is called Burial at Sea and should be out later this year, and it's there that your dreams will really come true - Booker's a private dick, Elizabeth's a dame with a problem, the two haven't met before, and did I mention it takes place in Rapture before the fall? The fact I'm not making this up is extremely cool.īefore that, though, there's Clash in the Clouds, a five-dollar stopgap that promises a little bit of fan service around the edges, but which is mostly a set of challenges that aim to bring the best out of Infinite's combat, unrelated to the main game except through shared assets and mechanics.
At the end of each wave, health and salts replenish and you have the opportunity to stock up on new guns or buy upgrades with your money.First things first: this is not the story-driven new BioShock Infinite adventure for which you were probably hoping. For example, a few of mine were to defeat enemies only with the hand cannon, or defeat enemies only using the skyline. “Blue Ribbon Challenges” can also be attempted to earn cash bonuses throughout each wave. Players earn Silver Eagles at the end of each wave, and can also get bonus Eagles by killing enemies in various ways (headshots, vigor combos, etc). Extra lives can be purchased at the office door in between waves, which allow players to spawn at the door with no penalty and at full health.
If the player dies at any point, they can resume the game to continue collecting cash but won’t make it onto the rankings. If players can successfully beat all 15 waves without dying, they’ll be placed on the glorious leaderboards for all to see. The beauty of Clash is that it can be fun for both hardcore arena players or for gamers who want a bit of challenge without the need to be ranked.
