Yes, in Microvolts, you can even go and purchase new hands for your toon that is hungry to kill the enemies.
The installation is pretty straightforward as the installation file is quite small in size which is around 500MB’s. You have several graphics options and the game runs very smooth at highest details if you have a decent system. Recommended system is not higher than a 2.4 GHz Dual core with 1 GB RAM and a video card that is equivalent to an nVidia Geforce 6800GT or ATI X800 PRO. DDOGiveAwayCode: 112221

When we looked at the servers, latency doesn’t seem to be a problem. We didn’t experience any lags or disconnections while we played in each game mode for hours.

There are 4 base characters you can choose from when you enter the game. Knox, Naomi, CHIP and Pandora.
CHIP is as you can guess, a robot. He is unique in a way as he has been created using spare parts from a junk yard. Funny enough, his voice system is damaged and he gets mocked because of it. Naomi is a model figure, a charming one... Knox is looking like a hip hop figure and he is known for his tough exterior. Pandora is named after a Greek myth and she is evil. She also hates Naomi.
GAME MODES
There are 6 game modes in the game so far, being Team Death Match, Free for All, Iteam, Capture The Battery, Close Combat and recently introduced mode; Elimination. In the new elimination mode you get hunted in a team-based mode that tactics are more important than aggressive offense. When you are killed, you are out! That’s the most exciting mode of all we have played.
MAPS
There are several maps in the game and we have seen Rockhippo Productions adding new maps to the game. Junk Yard and Castle are the latest additions.
WEAPONS
You got all the weapons you would expect from a shooter game in Microvolts. From a chainsaw to a shovel, to shotguns and rifles. You can go be a sniper who loves stealth and watch for incoming enemies around the corner or you can get your shovel , confront and attack the enemies wildly.

CLUB HOUSE
There is a clubhouse in which you can add friends and write your thoughts to the wall. It also shws your basic stats and a leaderboard that lists the top players.
SHOP
Microvolts is a free game but you can purchase items. There is also a Battery Charge feature that gives you access to unlockable items such as 5000 Mp or a Forum: Signature as well as secret items. All you need to do is verify your email address, Facebook Connect, add details to your Account and then make progress inside the game by reaching higher levels and so on. Everytime you charge your battery, you get closer to unlocking a reward.

GAMEPLAY
With extensive selection of game modes, maps and weapons there is so much to do in Microvolts. It will take some time to master the controls but it is similar to any shooter game if you are familiar with the genre. Weapons are easy to equip and the smooth gameplay keeps you hooked up to the game for hours. The team-based modes are fun to play and challenge other teams. Deathmatch mode is there for the fans of this mode but there are new modes such as Elimination and Capture the Battery.

GRAPHICS AND SOUND
The game met our expectations in this department. Graphics are vivid. There are shortcuts to entertaining voice comments. You could be yelling “help me out” or “great shot” when your team mate gets the enemy. At higher resolutions and with some AA and filtering, the game looks pretty good. Maps are well designed as well.

FINAL THOUGHTS
The cartoony atmosphere with uniquely designed characters make this game the most entertaining shooter you can find today. Various game modes attach you to the game for hours while the game servers provide you with a smooth gameplay without any latency issues. We will look forward to seeing more game modes and maps in this entertaining free shooter game from Rockhippo Productions.
