Hello, dear lovers of text versions! The last few years, the so -called indie, has hit the game industry in a large wave. Among the games from independent developers are both bad or mildly strange projects, and good, in their original and even excellent. Indie entertainment, have already reached the level of old large projects of large studios, at least visually. Of course, there are a lot of good good games. I will only write about some, which, in my opinion, stand out, something in particular or can the sum of all components of the components.
I appreciate your time and try to briefly talk about games, so some details will not be mentioned or weakly affected. And so, in front of you is another team of a hodgepodge on the topic "Old Games, which the Industry Industry could learn" or another "The ancestors Indie."
Comics have a fairly formed cell in world culture. And of course the games did not disregard such a tidbit. In this work, comics are a skeleton on which everything holds. But we will not run ahead and perhaps we will start with the beginning of history.
Plot: Turner Sketch-an artist from New York, who calmly sat and painted another project in his apartment, on a rainy night. Suddenly, unexpectedly, a painted villain crawled out of the comic book and said that he could become real only after Turner’s death. And with these words he dragged his creator into a comic book to kill him there.
The main character will jump on the pages of comics, while effectively defeating enemies. At the very first location, the player get acquainted with the assistant who, as a curator, will help the character, prompting and cheering him throughout the journey. Still next to the pretty special, you can notice three subjects. If you choose them, then they will appear in the inventory of the sketch. In total, the main character is able to place everything necessary in three cells at the same time. Let’s take a closer look at the usefulness that can be carried away.
In the first zone, we are pampering to meet a pretty general and three items.
A bottle of non -alcoholic liquid is an indispensable thing, because it is the only object in the game that fills the life of the protagonist.
Rat is a useful assistant who arrived with the owner from the real world. The rodent is able to find objects and switch levers, in places where Turner will not crawl, and even attack enemies. But the latter can end poorly, because the tail of the assistant can be pushed from the comic book page and then the main character will lose the animal for a while.
The rest of the items can be attributed to weapons. Things such as: a dagger, a hand grenade, dynamite and a fist that kills all the enemies on the screen, I think they do not need a detailed explanation of the purpose. I will only mention that by the killing of enemies, dynamite and grenade, you can also destroy some objects.
However, the inventory is of course a good help, but basically Turner will roll, jump and climb on some surfaces, simultaneously destroying enemies with the help of arms and legs. Just about the combat system and I want to write, because it is not the last component of the game in the genre “Beat’ Em Up). You can deal with enemies in the usual way and fast. The usual one is when the player simply clicks the impact button and the main character little by little the enemy, and at the end makes a beautiful finishing way. Or you can deal with living problems-two, three super blows, which a noby player who uses the previous way will only see when finishing off. Demonstrates their sketch only with the correct introduction of some combinations, since they are not too intricate and fingerprint. Also, the main character of Umet to make a block, which will definitely not hurt him when passing his not easy path.
Exclamation signs on the boxes, drawn for a reason.
The beauty of the back plans and the drawing as a whole – delight the eye. In some locations, various weather conditions can be observed, including precipitation. It happens that a page is like drops of heavy rain with needles, then light snowflakes are not in a hurry to land under the feet of the characters.
Of course, in all other things, the main feature of the game is an interesting mechanics perfectly implemented visually. Mentioning comics in the title of this product – no coincidence. The main character moves along the pages of the comics, simultaneously breaking through the boundaries between the columns, destroying the drawn enemies from which paper particles fly away, and even in one case runs away from the real fire that destroys the page. You can still recall in the appendage that conversations are shown on the screen in the form of comic clouds. Well, such examples as: a trace of an abandoned dagger, a paper aircraft and the way the rat finds objects, rushing paper — add the effect of immersion to the paper atmosphere. By the way, in the way there are forces shown by the arrow. The choice, although slightly increases reiglabia, but affects only the complexity and variety of zones that the main character will fall on. There are also two endings in the game, but the outcome depends on how professionally the player will control the sketch in a decisive battle.
Music: In musical compositions accompanying the main character on the path of the main character, you can often hear fatal notes. In general, the sound in the game stands out enough among its brothers in a good way.
Flaws: Achilles fifth is a work, you can probably call it only a short passage.
If you want to push the monstrik like a ball – it is possible here.
Some gaming projects tried to get close to comic book style, but to jump the bar that this work put – so far no one could. Not every game can boast of such a devoted army of fans. High -quality sound accompaniment, a good combat system diluted with a unique and visually stylish mechanics – deservedly made this game a cult.
By the way, if you want to learn more about "Comix Zone", I can recommend you to go
(Stop page.Game.Ru.), to the user "Dart_emugamer". They will tell you about the history of creating this wonderful game and a lot of interesting things.
Spider-Man and Venom: Separation anxiety
A large number of games were created BOF Casino review about Spider-Man. So why do I want to tell you about this? Gain a little patience and you will understand everything.
Plot: The organization called the “Basis of Life” captured Venom and using it, created five symbiots. The new symbiots wanted to destroy their parent, but Venom managed to escape. And now he is forced to unite with his old enemy-Spider-Man, to defeat his, not quite ordinary offspring.
The picture speaks for itself.
As it became clear from the previously described, in this game the famous Spider-Spider will have a partner. Moreover, one of his sworn enemies is Venom. But as the proverb says “the enemy of my enemy is my friend."Although it is not necessary to go through the game path together. After all, you can choose one of the characters provided. And what, black or red-blue-the player decides.
The genre belonging of this game belongs to the "beating of them all", so the description without mentioning the combat system will not do. The techniques of both characters are almost the same, but Spider-Man is more dexterous, and Venom is stronger, his current partner. Of the skills of Alter-ego, Peter Parker has the following: a simple blow, a blow in a jump, a blow with a shoulder from a run, there is still a blow in both directions with your feet or a spinning blow, but if the latter hit the enemies, the spider is taken away from the spider. Venom can also carry out such techniques, but instead of a turntable with his foot – he attacks his hands. You can also attract the enemy with the help of a web or temporarily immobilize it at a distance, as if firing it with it. Sometimes there are abysses in the way. You can easily and safely overcome them with the same weaving of spider-person or substance of the Venom. But on this, the implementation of the spider network does not end. For example, a stenolasis block is implemented as a shield from it, and in alter ego Eddie Brock-in the form of his substance and hands. But those who want to kill, an unusual duet, strive to surround and therefore the block does not guarantee complete safety. Although if you press the block and at the same time there are enemies on both sides, any of the main characters will attract them and encounter each other – this will take a good life from not friends. It is worth adding that the heroes have a super blow, he gradually appears in the interval between simple blows and when it hits the ordinary enemy on the right. If Spider-person beats not someone specific, the blow will follow from the turn and can hook several enemies. Venom, under the same conditions, to perform a powerful blow to the ground and, accordingly, the enemies who stand on their feet within the screen, with a blow, will receive significant damage. Any of the heroes chosen by the player may not get a super blow to enemies. In this case, a powerful attack will appear quickly enough and you can repeat the attempt. More subjects of wishing you death, you can throw at each other. Also sometimes there are objects that can also be used as a throwing gun. This includes a garbage tank.
Back to back.
In the most difficult minutes, other heroes, the so -called help, can help in the fight against enemy forces. You can collect it at levels. The call of the main characters can respond: heroic captain America, a well -aimed falcon (falcon eye), a mobile daredevil and a demonic ghostly racer. The essence of their help is to appear on the screen of their persons, which then attack all, interfering with an unusual duo of the main characters. Probably the only one who can miss the attack is Captain America, since he throws his unusual shield strictly along the X axis, that is, horizontally. The rest, with almost one hundred percent probability, will damage all the enemies on the screen.
Forces opposing the New York superhero and his black partner, also not bast. And in the following simple gangs and ordinary enemies, supervisor will certainly meet on the way. The latter of course are represented as bosses.
Oddly enough, the creators of the game gave more preference to the "ricochet" more famous as Spider-Man. The fact is that he, unlike Venom, has secret rooms. Of course, enemies are waiting for them, but they all die from one blow, and the reward serves life and the previously mentioned help, “comrades in the workshop”.
Captain America poses even when his ally receives by … a heroic face.
Music: In my modest opinion, the melodies sounding throughout the passage are not particularly distinguished by anything and are not remembered accordingly. The exception can be called only the score.
Cons: Perhaps you are waiting for more use of the web from the game about Spider-Man. But given the chosen genre – the creators did not do badly.
Spider-Man is one of the most famous comic book characters and the Marvel universe in particular. And the world has seen his game incarnations decently. Of course "Spider-Man and Venom: Dangerous Separation" -This is a good representative of the genre “Being of them all,” however, not the only one where the main role is a superhero from New York. But it was in this product that the first was implemented in the first, thanks to which you can not only choose Spider-Man or Venom, but also see how they fight side by side against a variety of enemies. And several fairly iconic characters of the Mardel universe help them in this."
There was a time when large mechanical robots enjoyed great success.They could be read about them in books, see them in cinema and games. It is about one of the game incarnations, I want to write. Of course there are a series of games that are still alive and use these mechanisms.
Plot: Future, on the battlefields, in addition to very familiar soldiers and wheeled equipment, you can see huge combat robots. The player will use the role of the pilot of the mechanical giant. History is a kind of mission briefing. In the course of receiving the assignment, the receipt will find out that he will fight against the Dragonis clan on the planet Alcheh. When performing missions, at the first stage, the player needs to: destroy some buildings, rescue his person out of captivity and at the same time will have to encounter defense in the form of: tanks, robots, helicopters, stationary guns, etc.p.
This is how the weapons selection menu looks like.
First of all, before landing on the planet, the player is confronted with the choice of weapons for his mechanical ward. In total, you can take three types of weapons to perform a mission. And for each type – there are three options. At the bottom of the screen, in the form of abbreviations, the names of the weapon and the number of charges for it are indicated. As you might guess, the first weapon is the most powerful, the second is the weakest, and the third is the golden mean, which serves as a complement to the first two. I believe it is worth considering in more detail the arsenal of combat fur, as the Japanese call them.
You can put in the first weapon cell: Particle Projection Cannon, abbreviated PPC, Gauss Rifle and Arrow 6.
PPC – These are powerful balls flying at a fairly decent distance. There are 10 units in stock.
Gauss Rifle – these are the balls that look like PPC, which, when in contact with the surface, cause damage to a large square area. In stock 20 units. A very cool thing for cleansing and the collapse of buildings. When using PPC and Gauss Rifle – a scale appears, focusing on which, the player decides which a segment the projectile flies. But you need to be vigilant, because if you overexpose the button of the shot, the gun will explode and there will be no possibility of fixing it. It can be restored after losing life or at the beginning of the next mission.
Arrow 6 – These are self -advanced missiles. A convenient thing, but it ends quickly. In stock 10 units.
The second cell can be busy: Large Laser or abbreviated Laser, Machine Gun, Auto Cannon /S.
Laser – small shells that cause good damage and quickly amaze the target. In stock 100 units.
Machine Gun – rapidly flying shells, but with weak slaughter force. In stock 350 units.
Auto Cannon – medium -sized balls that are in power between Laser and Machine Gun. In stock 150 units.
The third cell can be located: Inferno Short Range Missile or abbreviated – Inferno, Long Range Missile 20, abbreviated Missile, Thunder Mine Field or Thunder Mine.
Inferno – These are fire balls that, when clamped, can be turned into a firing fountain. Very effective against living and moving targets. In stock 70 units.
Missile – These are missiles. Good weapons, but small ammunition grieves a little. In stock 40 units.
Thunder Mine – mines, unfortunately quite quickly exploding, but not take away badly. In stock 50 units. Replenish all weapons, you can find it at levels. For example, at the beginning of the first stage, the entire arsenal and cooling (the return of armor to normal) are not far from the place of landing of the robot.
The game created all the conditions for the "warm" reception of the robot. By the way, small soldiers can be crushed.
Each new level is a new zone and unknown trials. Their abundance, although not large, but diverse. In addition, it is worth noting that, depending on the battlefield, not only the appearance changes, but also natural (and not only) obstacles. It’s good that the steel giant is equipped with a radar, by which you can navigate. In addition to the radar, there is also a menu of the status of the state of the robot and the purpose of the nearest mission.
The good quality of this game is the opportunity to force the player not to relax. For example: at the first stage, the player has to deal with large robots that will endlessly attack if the factory for their production is not destroyed. And it will not be possible in one place for a long time, because from time to time an attacking enemy flies. At the second stage – you need to complete the task for the allotted time. In winter conditions, the player will have to temporarily do without a radar, and then even more curious ..
Before shooting, standing on ice, you need to think about the return.
Music: During the mission, musical sounds are mainly absent. Although you can hear a vigorous composition after completing some task. Well, otherwise – the melodies in the game serve as soon as possible with the back background and are not very remembered.
Cons: Unfortunately the game has a small duration. But during her passage, the player will experience enough emotions.
BatTletech – This is a very good game with an isometric look and the ability to control a large combat robot with unusual weapons. But the main advantage of this project is good game dynamics and unexpected difficulties, as well as a variety of locations.
Fatal Labyrinth (deadly labyrinth)
There are many labyrinths. Some of them are created for a regular walk, others, as the legendary maze of the Minotaurus, can destroy their visitors.
Plot: As if a huge castle grows out of the ground, and a daredevil is heading into a massive and mysterious stone structure for the murder of the legendary monster and returning the sacred bowl. The castle is essentially a deadly labyrinth with many enemies ..
So, the main character finds himself in an unknown room and possibly with enemies or with equipment lying nearby. The main word in the previous sentence is possible. Since the representative of the genre "Rogalik" and "RPG" in one bottle. Of course, the technical levels have already been created, but which one will fall and in what part of the level the main character will be, with or without enemies, with whether it is a unit of not constant. The fact is that at the beginning of each zone, only the room in which the daredevil is known. The rest of the level, which is essentially one of the floors, is hidden by darkness. The zones themselves consist of rooms and corridors. As you study, the protagonist sheds light on the dark corners of locations. In order to advance further on the game — Wrestler with evil, should climb the stairs to a higher and difficult floor.
The tenth floor is a huge room with a bunch of usefulness and enemies.
Well, I think it’s time to talk about equipment, because without it the main character will not live for a long time. And so, with the right press, you can cause the menu consisting of items: one -handed weapons, shields, helmets, chest armor, magic stoves, potions, scrolls with spells, rings and small arms. Nearby weapons are expressed by fairly standard things such as: axes, swords, daggers, spears. But the Japanese rarely do without attributes of their homeland and, as a result, you can see shurikens next to the cold weapons in the menu. From ordinary objects of killing, axes have the greatest damage. But the problem is that using them easily miss or not to break through the defense of some enemies. But the spear – does not cause great damage to the minions of evil, but breaks through their protection well and misses less. And therefore, sometimes it’s better to slowly, but confidently to deal with the enemies with a long peak with a sharp tip. Swords, in terms of efficiency, something between axes and spears. Well, with the help of throwing stars, it is possible to hit opponents at a distance. In other things, the main character can throw enemies with everyone. And such tactics is very useful, because many items in contact with the offspring take their lives from them. The truth is to throw out unnecessary trash with the mind. Rings increasing characteristics of the character, for example, can make the enemy stronger. And the ring of frost – on the contrary, inflicted the shelter and possibly deadly damage to the monster in which it will fall. Whereas scrolls with spells and magic stoves are better to use than to throw them into enemies.
The combat system is simple as five cents and at the same time a little unusual. The fact is that there is no blow button as such. That the main character attacks the opponents, the player needs to send him in their direction. And when the daredevil reproaches the enemy, he will immediately begin to attack him. It is possible to damage a long distance using the use of stains or the same shurikens, or small arms. Of course, you can apply the previously described tactics for throwing unnecessary objects in monsters.
Some enemies easily attack both near and distant distances.
By the way, there are plenty of opponents here. Some of them at first do not leave the limits of the rooms, which is very convenient, but it is worth climbing several floors higher and the enemies will already pursue the protagonist even in the corridors. I’ll write that on some floors there are alarm buttons, when you press the alarm, and all the monsters are gathering for the outrage of the calm. In addition, there are tiles, becoming on which, the main character will fall on the floor below, and this is not fraught with the most pleasant consequences. For the murder of monsters, a controlled brave man, receives titles. When assigning the next rank, a funny melody plays and the numbers are added in the table and lives. So that the more enemies you kill, the higher your title. Another not unimportant aspect for the game is the life of the main character. It replenishes them automatically, when walking. True, for this, there should be at least something in the food section. If there is zero – a fighter with evil, it will be hungry and, accordingly, when walking, life energy will begin not to increase, but to decrease, up to the death of the hero. Overeating will not pass without consequences either. For this, the character should be fed with more than 79 units. And at the same time, he will walk more slowly and attack accordingly. Well, the players forcing their heroes are especially gluttonous —- the inscription "End of the game" (Game Over) is waiting for.
Not all potions are equally useful.
Music: In fact, there are not many musical works in the game, only about 4-5. While walking on the maze plays a short but very vulgar melody. It changes every ten floors, so that the musical accompaniment is remembered quite easily.
Cons: One of the main advantages of the game is an accident, it seems to someone a minus. After all, sometimes, Madame Fortune turns away from the player. Perhaps perhaps a small amount of time spent to pass this creation can be considered a disadvantage. Although, the circumstance that the genre of the game "Rogalik" — implies the reiglable. And besides, the style of minimalism will not everyone like.
Despite your venerable age, Fatal Labyrinth, can please lovers of non -hasty “RPGs” and for one to dispel the confidence of some personalities that the Rogalik genre appeared only a few years ago. This work cannot boast of a strong and intriguing scenario, but this is compensated by the presence of decent equipment, a lot of enemies and the reigree that His Majesty is the case.
For today – it was the last game, so I think it’s time to finish. And I write to you – for now!
