An online, multiplayer, pottery party brawler from Double Fine Productions. Grab your friends to assemble a team of colorful spirits, then sculpt ceramic battle armor on a pottery wheel. The size and shape of your pots determine their play-style and abilities—work together to douse the enemy's kiln!
You can't help but get the feeling that the game's multiplayer-only focus, combined with its limited launch content, unpolished gameplay, and weak marketing, will bury it before it ever gets a chance to flourish.
Double Fine has made a lot of money out of the absurd concept, and the pot fights can be more fun than you might think. The question remains, however, whether a small multiplayer game can keep enough players. It's a shame the game doesn't include a singleplayer.
Kiln offers a highly entertaining experience that blends creativity and art with gameplay mechanics. The fast-paced, short matches played with friends make you lose track of time. The variety of pottery and different maps add depth to the game; however, having only a single game mode can quickly create a sense of repetition, especially for solo players....
Kiln looks great and has a creative idea at its base, but it gets old fairly quickly and doesn’t seem, like it’ll have the longest shelf life. Making pottery is incredibly well-realized and satisfying, and the team-based matches have their moments, but the main gameplay loop gets tiresome, and the lack of stages and content beyond Quench mode makes...
Much like the pottery it's based on, Kiln is a game that has some creativity but is pretty empty on the inside.
