Research and Destroy Review

Darren Edwards

Xbox Game Pass really is a brilliant innovation for games and gamers alike. Certain releases come along which may potentially get missed, however the on-demand service from Microsoft gives them every chance to fulfil their potential. Research and Destroy is one such game.

Humanity has fought and lost against an army of supernatural forces, which has left the world something of a desolate wasteland. However (as with most things) science holds the key to salvation, namely in the form of three unlikely heroes; Barry, Larry and Marie. That last one very nearly rhymes, depending on how you pronounce it. The path to victory looks impossible, however thanks to the three clever boffins dissecting their enemies and researching more efficient ways to dispatch them, there is a glimmer of hope.

research and destroy review 1

The single-player campaign puts you in control of all three super scientists as they jump head first into battle across different regions of the newly occupied world. These play out as turn-based affairs, however each character can be freely controlled for a very short amount of time, seconds in fact. Moving, attacking and using abilities all eats up time, so carefully planning your strategy is key. Helpfully, you can hit Y to enter a drone mode to survey the battlefield, and X to access a birds-eye view map of the situation.

Each of your super scientists in Research and Destroy come equipped with a weapon that has two firing modes, alongside a gadget which vary greatly in their abilities. These can of course be upgraded, and new items can be unlocked as you play (but I’ll come back to that). You start with some pretty nifty firearms such as a humble rifle as well as a cluster grenade launcher, which are great fun to use but do also require a little skill to get the most from your shots. 

You’ll be given several objectives per mission, and it isn’t just about blowing up zombies and other supernatural nasties. There are several items you’ll need to interact with which will also take up your time, including research stations, satellite nodes and more. This introduces some choices for your strategy. Do you rush the objectives, or move forward carefully ensuring your enemies don’t overwhelm you? It’s fairly straightforward but throws some variety into your playthrough at least.

Once you’re done, it’s time to see what the crafty forces of evil have up their sleeve. In Research and Destroy you’ll be facing off against various monsters including; zombies, ghosts, werewolves, phantoms, poltergeists and loads more. Each of them have different ranges of movement and attacks, which you will do well to learn. After the existing units have done their thing, reinforcements usually spawn but aren’t able to move in the same turn (you’ll be glad to know).

research and destroy review 2

On the ground battles are linked together by a larger strategy, that being on the world stage. The regional map details who controls each territory, pointing you in the right direction to explore. The main aim is to close down several portals around the world to stem the tide of supernatural invaders, but you need to find them first.

As well as attacking in Research and Destroy, you will find yourself having to defend your captured regions. Every so often an area at random will come under attack, and you will need to defend it in a tower defence style scenario. In order to research new tech and unlock new items, you’re required to build a university in each safe region. This becomes the prime target for your enemies, and if you lose the battle they will destroy it.

You can install several defences in and around your universities, as well as researching new weapons and gadgets and upgrading them, unlocking new abilities. Gadgets can prove really useful in a battle, whether its jet boots to rush an objective or throwing a boombox to distract your enemies by having them unable to resist dancing to the beat, it adds options for your winning strategy.

research and destroy review 3

 It’s also at the university where you can study the remains of your enemies more closely. All of this activity costs time, which exposes you to another potential attack on your captured regions. It will also cost you cash, which you earn in battles as well as completing additional objectives across your campaign, such as researching varying amounts of different creatures. Again, this introduces a simple layer of strategy with the option to press forward and conquer, or slowly advance with an upgraded arsenal and reinforce your safe territories.

As a result no two campaigns in Research and Destroy will play out the same. However, despite the core battle gameplay being really good fun, it doesn’t have enough depth to warrant a second playthrough straight after your first. This is because you’ll have been exposed to everything pretty quickly, so by the end of the campaign you’ll know how it all works back to front. The repetitive nature isn’t a bad thing, but it does have its limits. Some players will hit theirs sooner than others.

Research and Destroy looks pretty good, its cel shaded visuals matching the wacky tone of the game itself. The monster designs are the most interesting part, and there’s something hilarious about looking at a contorted zombie down the lens of your rifle before blowing its head off. The opening menu and loading screen look a bit dodgy, but this isn’t indicative of how the game is when you’re playing (thank goodness). It’s all pleasing on the eye when things get going.

You can also change your characters in terms of outfits and how they look, or just randomise for something completely mismatched. This can be done before heading into each battle, alongside changing up your weapon and gadget loadouts. If I’m being honest, I stuck with the default styles but it was nice to have the option.

research and destroy review 4

As entertaining as the solo campaign is, the biggest pull for Research and Destroy is the drop in and drop out multiplayer. You can team up with friends locally or with anyone online, even part way through your existing campaign. The second player will take control of their own team acting simultaneously with the other player. It’s great fun and builds on the complexity of the scenarios, something that the single player campaign misses at times. 

Research and Destroy feels like a refreshing change of pace thanks to its blend of turn based strategy and real time action. However, you’ll need to play with others to get the best from it.

8 Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting Research And Destroy

Research and Destroy is a wonderfully charming and creative turn-based shooter that pits you against a horde of classic monsters. You’ll come toe to toe - not literally in some cases - with zombies, vampires, trolls, and ghosts. How spooky . It is an extremely engrossing game and by far one of the best turn-based RPGs on the PS4 .

RELATED: The Best 2D Games With Turn-Based Combat

However, while its tutorial does a good job of explaining certain elements, there are a few things we wish we’d known before jumping in. Knowing just how deadly bouncing into your mates can be or how long it takes until you can play with a friend would have been helpful for us. So, we’ve broken down every tip, trick, and piece of advice we wished we’d had so that you don’t have to worry.

8 Collect Time Fragments

Who doesn’t want more time on their hands? If only we were able to extend that quick break at work for just a minute more, or avoid an awkward situation just that little bit longer. Unfortunately, in the real world, time doesn’t work like that. We can’t give ourselves more time to meet a deadline, no matter how hard we try.

However, Research and Destroy says no to that, and lets players gain extra time by simply collecting Time Fragments. What we wouldn’t give to get our hands on these magical fragments! By running through these, you can extend your character’s turn time allowing you to perform more complex actions. If you see these blue floating vials, then you should absolutely grab them.

7 You Can Bounce Off Each Other

Flying through the air can be exceptionally fun. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of wind rushing through your hair as you hurtle through the sky at top speeds. Fortunately, Research and Destroy allows your team of super scientists to experience such joy.

By bouncing on the blue tarp, you’ll launch into the air. However, you need to be careful, as if you aim the wrong way, you’ll end up hitting a brick wall - literally - and tumble down to the ground. You also need to be careful that two or more of your super scientists aren’t jumping at the same time. Should they meet in the middle their faces will smush together before being catapulted in the other direction. Suffice to say, it’s not fun for anyone.

6 Stick Together

You will often have to complete multiple objectives during a mission in Research and Destroy. Whether that’s holding a point for a certain amount of time or activating a device, these objectives tend to be scattered across the vast maps. It can be extremely tempting to split up your squad and send each character off to complete a different objective, but we’re here to tell you that’s a terrible idea.

RELATED: The Best Open World Games With Turn-Based Combat

If you’ve ever seen a horror movie, you should know splitting up never ever works. Getting swamped by a multitude of monsters in Research and Destroy is unsurprisingly rather easy. You’ll have ghosts swooping at you from all directions - and unfortunately, no one to call to help - and vampire assassins popping up out of nowhere like the sneaky ninjas they are. If your super scientists are separated, then there’s a very good chance they’ll get killed rather quickly. So, just make sure you all stick together.

5 Can't Play Co-Op For A While

One of Research and Destroy’s best features is the ability to play with a friend. This can be online or on your couch sharing a bowl of overly cheesy chips and ruining your perfectly good controllers. However, while you should absolutely get Research and Destroy if you want a fun time with mates - it is easily one of the best co-op games on Xbox Game Pass - you need to be prepared to play solo for a little while first.

Research and Destroy’s tutorial is fairly lengthy, comprising an initial tutorial level as well as a handful of full-blown missions and moving around the campaign map. You cannot play co-op until you’ve beaten this tutorial, which is roughly two hours long. Of course, if you’re a pro Research and Destroy player, then you may be able to get through this a tad quicker. However, it’s fair to say that you’ll have to play alone first before you can rope your friends in with you.

4 Two Sides To Every Gun

Guns in Research and Destroy are surprisingly nuanced. That’s not to say they all have their own personalities, struggles, and adversities to overcome. Rather, they have two functions that are equally enjoyable to shoot zombies with. However, it is quite easy to forget that there is a second function at all, especially when the first is so efficient at killing monsters.

Remembering to switch between modes is incredibly important, especially on guns that offer defensive bonuses to your team. You may have a gun that can shoot grenades in one mode but an enormous shield that can protect you from projectiles in another. Learning which mode does what is incredibly important and will definitely save you from your impending doom.

3 Aiming Takes Time

As we’ve established, everything in Research and Destroy takes time. You walk, talk, breathe, or even cough, and the clock will keep ticking. It's ruthlessly relentless in its mission to make each of your turns feel as intense as possible, so you will really need to keep an eye on just how many seconds you have left. Unfortunately, this is particularly difficult when you’re aiming.

Aiming a gun in Research and Destroy will eat away at your seconds. You don’t have time to line up the perfect shot, so getting good at 360 no scoping or whatever the cool kids used to do in FPS games back in the day is a great idea. You’ll really need to make sure that you’re completely ready to take the shot before you aim your gun, or else you could run out of time before you even pull the trigger.

2 Understand When To End Your Turn

Research and Destroy only gives each character a handful of seconds before they can’t move anymore. Utilizing each precious second is of course incredibly important. You’ll likely find yourself taking shortcuts, quick scoping, and various other techniques to save time.

RELATED: The Best Turn-Based Co-Op RPG Experiences Ever Made

However, while using every second is important, knowing to end your turn early is just as important. Pushing your scientists as far as possible just to save time can result in them getting ambushed or attacked by those nefarious ghosts. So, learning when the best moment to end a turn is can be incredibly useful, especially if you want to keep your band of maniacal scientists alive.

1 Multiple Enemy Types To Master

It’s fair to say that if you are looking for a game like XCOM 2 , then you should play Research and Destroy. They share a lot of the same DNA - an expansive overworld to conquer, monsters to dissect, and turn-based battles against an onslaught of invading enemies to scrape through. However, it is that last part - the whole lots of enemies that want to kill you part - that makes Research and Destroy so engaging.

The monsters you’ll face throughout your time with this indie gem are varied and even a tad scary - that Vampire Assassin is a pain in the backside, it’s no joke. Their abilities and health differ from one another, making each one a challenge to master. You’ll have to learn their skills, patterns, and movement range to best overcome these difficult levels.

RESEARCH and DESTROY gives you the option to fully customize your team of Super Scientists. When playing online this helps you avoid that awkward feeling of turning up at a party in the same outfit as someone else. More importantly, it lets you show that you’ve got this fashion thing down to a science.

If you’re seeking to expand your Scientists’ wardrobe beyond the ready-available selection of stylish-yet-functional lab coats and hazmat suits you will be thrilled to learn that Larry, Gary and Marie are known to occasionally indulge in cosplaying as other video game characters from the following titles:

RESEARCH and DESTROY is set in a continent that resembles Europe and Northern Africa, or rather, what’s left of it in the Supernatural Post-Apocalypse. The classic home of Vampires, Trolls, Werewolves and such, they’ve reclaimed their birthplace after ridding it of pesky humans. Some might consider your missions to be home invasions, but we think of them as scientific field trips.

The RADvan chauffeurs you around twelve territories, and each territory has up to three missions in different areas. For example, on the Foggy Isles you may be tasked with gathering data from a […]

What’s the point of building all of those lovely, shiny, productive Universities in conquered newly-liberated territories if you meekly retreat at the first sight of an invading Supernatural? Sometimes the best form of offense is a good defense–Universities are the backbone of your efforts to reclaim earth and sometimes they need defending.

University defense missions play out just as you’d expect. One moment you’re kicking back, sipping margaritas and reading back issues of “Superconductor Monthly,” and the next minute there’s waves upon waves of Supernatural hordes trying to overwhelm the campus.

There’s an adage in the post-apocalyptic Scientific community that goes a little something like this: “It’s always better on the second try”. Propelling humankind out of darkness requires that kind of never-give-up-and-constantly-redo attitude. This gives rise to the ability to upgrade gadgets, weapons, universities and their defenses.

Before you can do any upgrading you need to do the researching. Not just the “open a book and read for days” kind of research; you also need the “fill a Supernatural full of scientific lead and stuff its corpse in the Van for study” kind of research too.

Of course, research for one piece […]
