![]() There are no 'Dollar Bill' vending machines in it. Some interesting unlockables and Easter eggs.Ĭons: None of the maps are especially well designed for straight combat and they do get extremely hard quite early on. Batophobia 'Clash in the Clouds' is the name of the DLC for Bioshock Infinite. Pros: Survival mode suits the game’s wide range of weapons and equipment well, and the Blue Ribbon challenges are a clever incentive. In Short: A good excuse to experiment with BioShock Infinite’s often underrated combat, but the overall experience still feels somewhat underwhelming. An interesting but ultimately forgettable starter before the main course of more ambitious expansions. If you never liked the combat though this isn’t revolutionary enough to change your mind, even if it might convert a few undecided voters.Ĭonsidering the worthlessness of most downloadable content this actually comes across very well by comparison, but there’s no getting away from the fact that it is just a distraction. Their confusing design can also increase the frustration over the purposefully high difficultly level, which reaches the level of 1999 mode by the time it gets to the last two maps.Ĭlash In The Clouds is not a complicated proposition and if you enjoyed the combat in the original game, and would’ve liked to see it broadened out to make better use of the more esoteric weapons, then this a good way to waste several hours of your time. They’re decent enough stages but their complex design still seems better suited for a story-based game than a score-based mode like this, which is basically multiplayer without the other people. The other three maps are larger and more complex though, with Duke and Dimwit Theater based on the Soldier’s Field section of the main game, Raven’s Dome on the Raffle Square location, and Emporia Arcade on the later sections of the game when the upper class district had been ransacked. In terms of the four maps Ops Zeal is the smallest and simplest and set around an industrial area that relies heavily on the roller-coaster like Skylines to get around. There are also more traditional rewards such as concept art and instant access to the glorious old-timey cover versions of modern pop songs. There are some Easter eggs and titbits back at the hub area though, with new kinetoscope videos and voxophone recordings to add some new story details and a bit of fan service. ![]() Again it’s a simple, very common, gameplay device but it’s exactly what BioShock Infinite’s combat needs when there’s no story around to give it context. It is included with the BioShock Infinite Season Pass, BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition and BioShock: The Collection, although it can also be purchased individually for 4. ![]() To further encourage experimentation there’s the Blue Ribbon challenges, Achievement-like objectives that are issued before each new wave and which range from simply adding time limits to having to use specific vigors or knocking enemies off the level. BioShock Infinite: Clash in the Clouds is the first downloadable content pack for BioShock Infinite. ![]()
