A Quicksaver's Paradise
Essentially Desperados or Commandos 2 set in early 17th Century Japan. Like those games you control a set of characters with different abilities whom you utilise to work your way through a level crammed with enemies to achieve a set of goals, while quicksaving your game after nearly every action you take. The character's abilities allow for a different approaches to be taken depending on the obstacle to be overcome. The solution, however, will always be stealth or ambush. There is no forgiveness for direct attacks in this game as you will always be heavily outnumbered. While different approaches are possible, the game mechanics essentially boil down to watching the movements and zone of sight of enemies, avoiding them and moving into position to perform a sneak attack or ambush. Levels may also contain situations you can utilise to your advantage, a falling crate for example, but these are few and far between, leading to monotonous gameplay within a few levels. The difficulty is further increased by spawning additional enemies if you are discovered. Many of which station themselves in the exact same positions as the enemies you've just cleared. Personally, I found this game to be tediously difficult, even on the easiest setting, and little more than a grind of sneak attack after sneak attack interspersed by almost as many quicksaves and quickloads. Gameplay was further marred by unresponsive controls using mouse click options, for example selecting a sword attack, often not working to the detriment of the character and resulting in yet another quickload. Keyboard actions did, however, work every time. In summary, this is a well constructed game with some simple yet effective game mechanics. Unfortunately for me, the difficulty and constant need to reload after an action went awry made it an ultimately an unenjoyable experience.
