Paradox @ PAX EAST
The Showdown Effect
G4TV
“Not only can your tiny hero pull off the always appreciated dive and shoot move, he can also grab ledges to pull himself up to higher levels, slide down walls, and even do cartwheels and backflips Matrix-style, to avoid incoming rounds.”
Ten Ton Hammer
” From the moment I sat down until the end of my demo time I had a total blast playing the game, and have no doubts that it will prove to be another hit for Arrowhead.”
GamerAnx
“The Showdown Effect may be the most viscerally fun game I’ve played so far.”
Chronogamers
”The best thing about Showdown Effect to me, is how tight the controls are.”
The Gamer Access

VG Revolution
“For the longest time I have been waiting for a studio to have the courage to innovate genres that focus on non-shooting combat. Sure you get the occasional hack-n-slash adventure but no developer has dared to create a multiplayer focused title of that caliber and that is why Paradox Interactive may have the jump on everyone.”
GamingUnwrapped
“It’s deadly.”
GameZone
“Though the game is still in pre-alpha state, it looked damn good.”
TheGamerAccess
“…I was advised to check out War of the Roses and I left beyond impressed with what Paradox Interactive had to show.”
BlastMagazine
“A new title from Paradox Interactive may just be the sleeper hit of the convention.”
GKick Network
“War of the Roses is a very interesting twist on a typical game and with the ability for players to customize their own maps, the 32 player cap can be easily exceeded even to a point of madness.”
Kotaku
“War of the Roses Sure Looks Like Battlefield: 1455 To Me”
RockPaperShotgun
“Every time I see War of the Roses it appeals to me more.” [DEV DIARY VIDEO]
