Free-to-play FPS Dirty Bomb officially launches after years in open beta

Free-to-play team shooter Dirty Bomb has been around for yonks now, so it feels weird to say that the game is ‘out now’, but after more than three years of open beta, The competitive FPS has finally reached version 1.0, although the changes in the launch version are surprisingly slight.

Set in a nuclear-ravaged future London, this class-based shooter puts players in the boots of 23 high-tech mercenaries. There’s robo-tanks to escort, people to shoot in the face and no small amount of grind involved if you want to permanently unlock all your favourite characters. It’s also good fun, playing like a blend of Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2, with a little bit of developer Splash Damage’s earlier Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Brink in there too.
