Offline/single player modes?

[Melody-Mae]

Hi all

As per the title, does this game offer 'any' sort of single player/offline chomping?

Hello :-)

As per the Steam store page, only the tutorial operates in single-player / offline mode. This is unfortunate as I very rarely buy/play online multiplayer centric games. I simply don't have the free time to git gud and getting eliminated in a matter of seconds over and over again isn't my idea of fun :-)

I ultimately decided to pull the trigger and it's been a decent experience so far, likely since the human player counts are low and most of my sessions have been predominantly with bots.

the game is populated mostly by bots anyway at this point. I'm not being mean it just is what it is. I'm not a big multiplayer guy but i jumped into this one on Stadia and here and it was a lot of fun. Sometimes ya get eaten. Sometimes you do the eatin. :)

I can't believe this game has no LOCAL mode, I am so damn disappointed I still can't believe they wont be adding it. It is a must, or at least an Arcade mode for playing alone from time to time.

I hate the idea of a game that requires connecting to a server just to play it, sooner or later they'll shut down and it'll become a brick. Really disappointing they didn't bother with a simple offline vs. AI mode.

If most players online are bots anyway, it makes even less sense to not have a offline mode.
If you are playing vs bots online, then why can't you play vs bots offline too?

It's 90% off now, but without offline mode the game will be unplayable when servers are shut down.

Other online only games got offline modes to increase the sales.
Deathsprint 66, Suicide Squad, The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest among others.

Knockout City and Marvel's Rivals got offline modes when they shut down servers.

As for Knockout City, the developer even made a free server program for it for offline and online play as they didn't want all their work go to waste forever.

Developers should by now know that a paid online game usually don't sell well without offline mode.
