Crash Team Rumble had a new video posted showing off an area called Tiki Towers. Crash ran around the area and gave a quick glimpse at the obstacles you will contend with when playing. However, after this and the official reveal at The Game Awards a couple of months ago, people are still very confused about what you will be doing in the full release of the game.
About all we concretely know about Crash Team Rumble at the moment is that it is a 4v4 team-based competition that revolves around collecting Wumpa Fruit. From what we can gather from the reveal trailer and this short video of Tiki Towers is you will have to run around the arena and grab as much as you can and deliver it to your base before the enemy team can attack you and presumably make you drop your inventory.
For this being the first time actual gameplay was shown for the title, it seems that people want to be excited for this game, but are unsure what to latch onto here. We see Crash put on Uka Uka, which Coco did in the reveal trailer, and call down a rain of fire balls, but him just running around on an empty island with no other combatants doesn’t really show us anything. Also, with Crash Bandicoot being such a beloved name that has been making a comeback recently, it’s a bizarre situation seeing Activision being so secretive for what could end up being a really small party game.
From a graphical standpoint, Crash Team Rumble looks pretty close to on par with Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, but given how small the arena is that we just saw and the miniscule content shown so far, we are kind of worried if this is a game that can keep people’s attention for more than 20 minutes. It could end up being Crash Bash with less variety.
