Tripstone linked me this a week or two back. This update will be absolutely amazing for the game especially if there is some advertising to go behind it. I feel it has the potential to (excuse my Trump) make Toribash great again.
More than 1v1 play appeals to friends that are looking for a game to play which is always a good plus. But right now what Toribash lacks is a reward system to keep people hooked and playing, unfortunately game play alone doesn't cut it as seen in the decline in players over the very long span that Toribash has had. This update will bring in many new players but also look to keep them for the long term!
Good luck with this hampa I am sure it will turn out great. As for anyone saying this will kill the game you have not been around long enough to understand that this game is not what it used to be community wise. Peace
