Blockstorm is gunning for Steam Early Access and the combination of Minecraft-like voxels and FPS destruction puts this in a all to full genre. But Blockstorm seems like it has a lot of customization options going for it based on the teaser shown here to give it that edge.
The character and level creator seem to be easy enough for anyone to use while still allowing you the detail you need to pull of some impressive voxel based recreations no matter if they’re fantasy or reality. The big thing I see is the destructible terrain, it’s always nice to build up an awesome level and the see players destroy it in ways you never imagined, like a giant Rube Goldberg machine in action.
Right now you can pick up Blockstorm right here for $9.99 until June 1st 2014 after that it will be going for $15.00. The game has yet to hit Steam Early Access but buying it directly from the developer will give you a copy right now, pretty sneaky!

May 29 2014 – Rome, Italy – Today GhostShark Games is proud to announce that their voxel based PvP FPS, Blockstorm, is available on Steam Early Access.
BlockStorm is an FPS set in a world that consists entirely of destructible blocks and with the in-game editor, it allows you to fully customize your game and quickly share your creations with other players. You’re free to create your own maps and characters from scratch or simply customize existing ones.
‘BlockStorm is our first commercial production and we hope you will appreciate our efforts. After a year of work, we have built a basis on which to develop, following the varied opinions of our community,’ said Davide Barbieri, game director at GhostShark Games, ‘BlockStorm will be available on Steam Early Access and this means that the game will change as you play. Based on your feedback, we will update, add content and ultimately evolve. It’ll remain in development until we feel the community believes the game is ready for a full commercial release.’
The maps and characters included in the game are made with the same tools that are available to the public, so you’re only limited by your imagination.
Weapons range from precise rifles to heavy machine guns or even explosives capable of destroying hiding places and creating tactical advantages. So now, there really is no hiding place that a pesky camper can hide in and stay safe in the game’s 3 modes – Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Assault.
Pick out your own load out, choosing between a set of weapons configured by the creator of the map.
You can build anything and everything in Blockstorm, and best of all, it can & will be destroyed!.
