Not mind for the story, in every other respect is perfect even this days, Pure gameplay, lots of action, items for loot, trinckets and maps you can clean. Post game is a little tiresome but so far, the best way to play ARP for the first time.
I'ven playing this fore quite some time up to know, and still is worthy of my time.
Its wonderful in every aspect, music, gameplay, story, art, everything. Special congratulations for the narrator. Co-op play works like a charm, maybe not online but it works AdHoc.
Just the game is awesome, the combat is gorgeus, the controls are calibrated and the sound is amazing, not to mention the lightning, it´s very immersive. The only complain that I have is the lack of advices about a loot of fine important details, for example, how many power consumption you may need if you install one or another base machine, or what wuld happend if you spend research point in things that are not YET in the next prologue step. I am stuck again in prologue because of this. Well after 5 or 6 hours of gameplay I think I should pass the prologue but is not the case. Not yet. But don´t get me wrlong, I like it, I´ll try again until I made it, (Or they improbe their own tutorial, what happend first) The core mechanics are amazing, I likethem a lot, and the momentum while playing is nice. For the price, this is a Gem! P. S. For a game with such special mechancs like this, I need to suggest the campaign of Northgard, wich has such a stgrange game mechanics, but the tutorial in the campaign guides you throug every core key aspect of the game that, when you finish the campaing, You know everything about how to play. The rest is ist improbe your gameplay, pick your favorite clan and that´s it. Something like thats it´s what this game really, really needs.
Its hard, fun and frenetic. The enemies are real challenges and it´s gameplay is unique, the music is also appropiated and good, but I must say that there are a lot of unnescesary flashing scenes just in your face. After a short playtime session you may found yourse visually tired. Pros: + Fun and responsive game play + Creative FPS with hack & slash mechanics + Viseral and hard combat. (You need to know the enemies to beat them) + Good music + Art style is a blend between fantasy and SCI Fi that works + Low price, excelent product. Cons: + Extreme use of flashing lights while playing and in cutscenes. They may make you feel sick.. (Thats my case while writting this review) You should try this game, is what a FPS should be. And for the price worth it.
The game itself is okay. They even try to build a toony language. Combat is hard enough to keep it interesting. And the world itself looks "robotically" live. But I cant recomend this game for two reasons, the first one is performance. It´s not a demanding game, since you see the configs panel and the ovarall graphics quality it should run flawlessly at any modern computer but that´s not the case. You still need a tank to run this game. The second reason, and the most relevent for me, is the ingame platform puzzles sections. They started as only some rythm-downing puzzles, boring as nothing else I can imagine, but short. As you advance the game you are forced to solve huge interconnected sections. Ech section becomes more and more boring. You may find one or two enemies per puzzle, but I really think that this enemies are included here beacouse the developers noticed that they forced theyselves to make so hard and complex puzzles that they forgot to make them fun, so, they injected enemies. This enemies has no effect in puzzles and they haven´t even reason to be there. Please don´t missunderstand me, I like puzzles, but not when, for a tinny finger mystake, I am forced to run throu them again, and again, and again. I started to feel so tired, that I really think I´ll never come back again. Pros: + Good concept. + Good enviroment and art. + Fair price. + Good combat. + Alliances make real differences in this game + The prologue works as a tutorial, and its well made, very well. Not optional, but well done. Cons: + Unnescesary and boring sections of puzzles, without any reward, story driven connection o game justification. They are there becouse they were developed. Just for that. + Performance, you need a tank to run this game. + Mac version is a trash.
