i could build my OWN vehicle weapon! AND i can use OTHER PEOPLE'S vehicle weapons TOO! :)
This Is Definitely A Hidden Gem Of A Game. Seriously, I Have Never Destroyed A Building Legally Before (Come To Think Of It, I Haven't Destroyed Any Buildings Ever), But This Game Lets You. I Am Working On A Cube That Can Transform. And It's So Satisfying!
Thanks to the realistic destruction I don't have to commit "the crimes" Thanks Game :D
