What is Toribash?

I'll explain it with pictures:




Confused? Fine, i'll explain a bit more.

Toribash is, at it's core, a fighting game. What makes it unique is that you move the joints of characters, contracting and extending them to swing and attack. By doing so you can kick, punch, or rip off your or your opponents head.

It also has a huge amount of mods, from Lightsabers to Knives, i'm sure one of them will be to your fancy. Before 3.00, this game costed about 20 bucks to play.

Now, it's free. 3.00 is stronger, faster, better than the previous versions all for no cost!

So get to playing, you've got some heads to smash.

This is a video I found... I think I'll give it a try.

Probably the most complicated game I've ever played. I remember spending almost a whole day trying to figure out how to jump.. Then I go do some multiplayer and have someone dive over me and rip off my head with his thighs as he passes over me. Getting it again now.

Deswa

My favorite was beating someone to death with their own body parts. That and ripping off both of the opponents arms at once with a triumphent look.

this game is so awesome, although the learning curve can be a little steep

It's even better to rip off you're own body parts, throw them at someone, then beat them to death with your detached limbs.

Zzulu

I had a hard time being successful in this game

Houk

This game is crazy hard to get the hang of, but good god is the multiplayer fun.

Downloaded and will probably spend all afternoon playing.

Then its always embarrasing when you detach your own head. Dont forget about your detached arms attached to the other person and you flail them to get more damage on them.


Also... BREAK DANCE!

In the original, there were always a couple 'main' starting moves that people would use. It was usually something like 'throw both hands forward while pushing back to avoid their hands' or something. And my greatest enjoyment came from doing something totally different, like 'jump straight up and torque your body to do a pinwheel then grab their arms'. It didn't always work, but it led to some really cool replays, win or lose.

It's a shame you can't really have the dudes textured properly. As when two fighters get into a horrible "hug fight" ripping eachother apart, it becomes very difficult to see what's even happening.

But the squares/spheres are needed to easily click the joints.

Excellent game, but as said above, your first couple of hours with this are going to be mind numbingly frustrating.

Goomba

I loved doing my flipping kicks to start out with.

Then people figured out how to grab.

Houk

I always thought a Toribash type game but with weapons would be awesome (say, samurai swords). It wouldn't be as bloody, but the parrying would be cool and victories would be pretty sweet to watch, I wager.

arcath

mods?

lightsaber mods?

where?

Cheezy

The are sword mods bundled with the game.

EDIT: On the main menu, go to mods.

I could swear you stole that idea from me.

If I did, which I didn't, then I perfected it.

But I didn't steal anything you liar.

Yes, I just found that. Definitely playing this all day.

Clearly you cant keep your lies together. Perfected yet beatable is not perfected.

Houk

You can perfect a tactic which, itself, can be beaten by another tactic, even when perfected.

korodullin

Awesome, I get to spend the rest of the day with a game I hate, suck at, but can't help but play.

OtakuD00D

So. Is 3 more accessible? I remember hearing something like that.

Wyborn

I...wow.

I really wanna download this. About how long does it take to learn the ropes?

Well the controls are super easy, you'll get those in like 5 minutes. Learning how the momentum and joints work takes maybe half an hour. Learning how to put it all together and do totally badass stuff - that's what takes forever.

Well, there's a tutorial and stuff in there, but the game itself still takes a while to really get the hang of. As far as I can tell, the game is pretty much the same as it's always been, except now all the stuff is available to free users.

Speaking of which, why'd they make it freeware, anyway? If nothing else, it really makes me glad I resisted the temptation a while back to register it.

Veevee

3.0 Released?!@ Finally!!! I've been playing it lately and have been waiting what seems like years for 3.0

Get this and play it.

Goomba

So can we play or what?

MechMantis

Define "Free".



Because the last ones were free.



But gimped.

taliosfalcon

man..if i sit at the server select screen for more than 5 seconds or so it stops responding and needs to be force quitted..i need to get into games fast =(

darleysam

downloading now, even though i sucked so hard at learning to play it before. But free's free, and when you do something awesome, it feels so good.

Goddamnit, THEY WERE ALL FREE.
Anyone who says otherwise is just silly. You had to pay to basically get "Premium" mode (hosting games and all that), but the game was fully functional without paying.

taliosfalcon

Yeah, but now demo users can go into every room, not just demo rooms, and use mods..the only things they cant do as far as i can see is host, and use their own names..which kinda sucks..i'm playerID2361 right now =/

Indeed. Although there was a lot of stuff you couldn't do in the "demo" version, such as tweak the match settings, play on non-demo servers, play mods in single player, save replays, etc.

The new version includes all of that, as far as I can tell, which is amazing. I'm having the same problem as taliosfalcon with the game crashing on the server select screen, though.

MechMantis

Likewise.



And Goddamnit, I have a head in the folder somewhere. MechMantis.tga. I STILL can't use it?

I'll consider it free when I CAN USE MY GODDAMN HEAD!!

Differential equations have a learning curve that's a little steep. Toribash is worse.

Let it sit for about 30 seconds and it starts to work again.

I just let it sit for 5 minutes and it didn't unfreeze oh well as long as I get into a server before the list freezes its all good

Zombiemambo

I can't wrap my head around this game. I can only do the head decap in the tutorial.

Goomba

It seems to be working better now. At least for me. Is there a way to direct connect if you still can't work the server list?

And Zombie, once you start thinking in terms of the game (the big side is the side that the parts will move to) it gets a lot easier.

I've found that trying to do something in particular (head decap, kick, punch) really only works when you're practicing against the dummy. In a multi-player game, you're really pretty much adapting to the new situation after every turn. Instead, just play around and get a feel for what the different joints do as far as movement. It takes a LOT of getting used to.

The server browser seems to be working now, and I've been enjoying having more selection as far as servers go. Just played a few rounds on one where you were fighting on this big platform sitting on this tiny little pillar. The fun part was that the platform wasn't attached to the pillar, so you could tip it over. Ended up saving a few good replays where I managed to grab the platform with one hand, grab the other guy with the other, then roll the whole thing over so he ended up hitting the ground first.

Really going to enjoy finally being able to save replays .
