Trapper's Delight
" Chaotic action-strategy with fun multiplayer sabotage but small online community limits matches "
Trapper's Delight Review
Trapper's Delight is a lighthearted multiplayer party game centered around setting traps and outsmarting friends to reach the level's exit. Players place traps simultaneously in a building phase, then attempt to navigate the perilous map filled with their own and others' traps. The game offers both local couch co-op and online multiplayer modes, though the online community is currently very small, making it difficult to find matches without friends. Single-player challenges exist but are considered less engaging compared to multiplayer chaos.
The game features a simple yet charming blocky graphical style and includes a level editor with Steam Workshop support, allowing players to create and share custom maps. The gameplay is easy to pick up but hard to master, providing a fast-paced, fun, and often hilarious experience. Despite being in Early Access, it runs smoothly and has active developer support. Overall, it’s highly recommended for groups of friends seeking casual, mischievous fun, but less so for solo players due to the lack of an active online community.
Highlights
Players praise Trapper's Delight for its engaging multiplayer gameplay, which combines strategy and humor in trap-setting and sabotage. The level editor and Steam Workshop support are appreciated for adding replayability and creative freedom. The game's friendly, blocky graphics and intuitive controls make it accessible and enjoyable. Many highlight the fun of local couch co-op and the chaotic, laughter-filled sessions with friends. The developer's responsiveness and smooth performance also receive positive mentions, enhancing the overall experience.
Criticisms
The main criticism is the small and mostly inactive online player base, which limits matchmaking and multiplayer opportunities for those without friends to play with. Single-player content is seen as lacking depth and less enjoyable. Some players note occasional loading issues or disconnects in online matches. Others wish for additional features like AI trap setters for solo play or more varied multiplayer options. The game could benefit from more levels and community engagement to sustain a larger player base.
