Combat is satisfying once you learn how to time your attacks, manage your health and ammo. Navigation will make you want to punch yourself in the head in my opinion, but this battle I mentioned is absurd. As the battle traps you in a room in a tower where you need to destroy 4 large devices. You can't break these devices. So, you must use a large enemy trying to kill you to break them. The problem is the enemy has been used before, and that enemy is met to be engaged quickly as he kills you in 4 or 5 hits. Now you have to stand in front of device, while dodging him so he can destroy these devices. You will also be shot by 2 or 3 enemies and more than likely hit by the large enemy. So, you will need to feed, but the large enemy will be on you so you can't. So, you need to destroy 4 devices while dodging the large enemy and small enemies shooting at you without feeding. So, once the devices are gone you are free kill the large enemy? I believe so. As if you kill him before he has broken devices the game will spawn a fresh large enemy. Now guess what? Even after those devices are hit by the enemy you will have thrown in a small enemy into each before you can proceed. And there is chance if you kill the large enemy at this stage, you get a fresh large enemy :). Can't confirm that though. You have been warned.

I got through 7 out of the 10 temple runs without dying. The eighth one got "challenging" as I was given shit weapons that even with the upgrades and new weapons in the run, would barley harm the enemies in the temple, coincidentally. Then the curses continue to aid this totally not orchestrated "challenging" scenario, coincidentally. The only weapon of worth was a 2 handed heavy weapon that would give me 10% of the damages given in health, but 1 corruption point per kill. Coincidentally, I avoided the use of the 2 handed heavies as I disliked the opening it gives the enemy, but coincidentally I had to use this is in this totally not orchestrated and "challenging" scenario. There was absence of good relics and loot coincidentally, and only appeared after I had taken massive beatings with enemies hitting me during actions that I previously had no problem dodging? Must be a coincidence. I was forced to either take the stat boosts? Or trade them for in health? I chose health and made it all the way to the final boss of this temple. And of course by the time I got there I had 4 curses due to a coincidentally large amount of enemies that inflict corruption and coincidentally curses that took what little gold was available forcing me to use blood that increased my corruption, coincidentally. And the final coincidence? I had only 20 more points until the last curse which was activated by entering the final boss room. And what was it? A curse that drains my health until removed. Now, tell me I am crazy to believe that I was meant to die before the boss and the game just overcompensated with the final curse? Can be enjoyed if all the "challenges" and totally orchestrated events. Also know as "cheating" and "totally orchestrated".
Fine up until you get to what the fool calls the "Challenging" bit. Better know as the cheating bit. If you like being held in place? Enemies defying physics to hit you by punching through each other? Or those same enemies hitting where you will be after the game gives no choice but to go there? Then enjoy. If not? Buy low or not at all.
Won't change the title cause they did and they can suffer the stain. Will actually edit this to a differnet rationg depending on if I can play the thing I spent $89.95c on. Can't recall a game that crashes before running? Hell, I tried playing Half life 2 back in the day with a truly weak PC. I could at least see the menu before it crashed unlike this broken game.
Run away from the guys shooting as you have no gun and get shot to death. Must have chosen the wrong path. Oh wait, there is only one way to go. Take cover? You die. Run out the open? You die. That's the introduction. Defined by how the system feels instead by what you do. That's not a game, but a broken piece of trash marketed as a game. Age is no excuse as their are older FPS games here that wouldn't acknowledge this crap. Do not buy this.
Get ready for a hard pounding adventure of being outnumbered with only your wits to overcome the circumstances. Then realise that you are just running in a straight line with retarded enemies. Where I left the game I was running from the enemy with only one way to go (straight line) and I get to a dead end. I survive cause a old lady lets me into a house and the chase ends with the enemy baffled. There was only 2 doors in that dead. Where else could I go? Retarded. No aim/movement sensitivity to adjust, terrible voice acting that you can barley understand and no subtitles to compensate the former. Graphics ain't that good up close either. You like running in straight lines? You like stupid enemies? You like chase sequences with false tension? Buy this game.
The game is a failure that will give you unwinnable missions and make YOU suffer for it. You'll have missions in this game that will have too many hostiles to deal with and enemies that can't be killed within the time limit that will cost you later. None of this will be on the player, but on the system setup vs what you have and can do. Mulitiple unwinnable scenarios with nothing to gain except meaningless loss is not a strategy game. There's a good negative review on Steam by Watermelon Sports that I wish I saw before buying this. Check it out before believing the hype and wasting your money.
Reason for one star? A guerilla action in which you're on the back of a jeep with a rocket turret being driven around to destroy EDF structures. You'll be pursued (naturally) via jeeps and AIRSHIPS. The airships are the reason for this 1 star. The ship hovers above you and consinstley shoots you. Raise the turret to shoot and then realise you can't hit it. Why? The developers didn't take into consideration how much you can raise the barrel when versus how close the ship flys to shoot you. You can't raise the barrel high enough to shoot it down. Pathetic. So, now what? Climb out the jeep? Nope. That's a automatic fail. Sit and there die. Now, I am sure that upon a restart I won't have the ship that close, but it should have never been possible in a bloody REMASTER !!!. You can also look towards failure after surviving the hoard of enemies and the destroying the correct amount structures. As the dumb A.I will not prioritze taking you back, but take the route to destroy structures you no longer need to complete. I won't point out the positives. There are plenty here that have already done that. Read those and decide if it's worth a purchase. I am just putting this here to highlight a failure.
Never played fromsoftware games. But if this is a easier version of Souls? Than Souls ain't good, but broken. As this is pathetic and not difficult. Hits register even if their weapons don't hit you and the shield rasing is comparable to child not knowing their phyiscal limits. Bought on sale and cause of the DRM. Wish I bought on steam so I could get my money back. Screw this game.
