Interesting title, bare minimum release
This is a sort of a Russian version of Elite from 2007, but with really weird lore with (bio)mechanical AIs (housed in spherical data drives) piloting hovercrafts instead of spaceships. You have an overarching goal, which is to create the most powerful AI clan and then basically let out in a sizeable open world to complete it. You are given very little direction on how to do it, and you have a fair degree of freedom on how to develop your character. The problem is that the ambitions of the developers were clearly beyond the technical and budgetary limitations imposed upon them, so the game feels very uneven, buggy, and generally unfriendly towards the player. It will also get quite repetitive around halfway, where you are expected to grind yourself to higher levels. However, it does have its charm. What is an issue though is, as the French reviewer noted as well, the game is not really "updated for compatibility with modern PCs", it is almost guaranteed to crash when you try to start the tutorial. There is a community fix that you can find on Steam community forums. Other than that, this is a Russian game from mid-2000s, which means that the translation is dodgy - it is perfectly understandable but wonky. Also the bugs and glitches are largely still there, which means many of the quests will refuse to trigger until you restart the game, and there will be crashes. Another point is that the game doesn't seem to have the option to download a Russian-language version, even though it is advertised as such on the store page, which is probably a GOG hiccup. But otherwise it can be a fun experience, with some very unconventional setting, and a high degree of freedom even today. It looks rather barren, and the controls can be very uncooperative at first until you upgrade your glider, and it will overstay its welcome, but at this price it is not a bad deal.
Hilft dir das weiter?
