Some useful in-game tutorial videos introduce you to the various classes, which will be all-too-familiar to players of Team Fortress 2. It’s a wise choice twitchy one-hit-kill combat would render time-consuming constructs fairly pointless. The game favours a slower pace than most shooters, with more health and a moderate run speed. Unfortunately, the combat side of Block N Load is merely serviceable. While you won’t construct any elaborate monuments that will stand the test of time, it’s great to see a shooter that rewards creativity in addition to skill and teamwork.
Laying down blocks is critical on offense as well: the single-most useful thing you can do is hide a forward base so your allies can respawn deep in enemy territory. Even if you’re not the sharpest shooter, you can still be a great asset to your team by building clever defensive structures.
