Alpha Prime

Runs well but the story and voice acting are so bad it actually takes away from the game. Gunplay is pretty fun but your damage output feels like you're shooting spitballs, while "Arnie" is made of paper mache and will have you back tracking for meds regularly. Love "retro" FPS games but this one is just kind of unfun. I'd leave this one in 2007.

In full transparency, the first time I played the game I considered it and ok game. This is not a novel but a basic shooter game, still there is some story to follow. Now that I am finally able to play it on 3D with superdepth and several reshade shaders on my headset, I can say confidently that this game is under rated.

Я играл в неё очень давно и очень много раз — кажется, я прошёл её уже раз 500, и этот год не стал исключением. Несмотря на то, сколько времени прошло, я до сих пор с огромным удовольствием возвращаюсь в Alpha Prime. Для меня это не просто старый шутер, а настоящая частичка детства. Атмосфера космической станции, оружие, перестрелки, музыка и сама история до сих пор вызывают приятную ностальгию. Да, по современным меркам игра уже выглядит старенькой, но в этом даже есть свой шарм. Особенно нравится, что Alpha Prime умеет подарить то самое ощущение, которое было когда-то в детстве: включил игру — и пропал на несколько часов, исследуя каждый угол, стреляя по врагам и просто наслаждаясь прохождением. Я прекрасно понимаю, что сейчас эта игра может показаться кому-то простой или устаревшей, но для меня она навсегда останется суперигрой из детства, к которой хочется возвращаться снова и снова.

One of the earlier games I played when it first came out and I am going through it again just to feed my nostalgia and my Sado/mass gaming self!:) Seriously screwed game mechanics that force you to play along with the linear "path" and play by the developers scripted rules which are irritating in this rather challenging game as it is with the fast moving robot enemies and armored Merch's tough to bring down. You can't jump properly or double jump when the game will not allow, and there is more frustration then entertainment here. I would not recommend it, but those are my reflections.

It's not a good game. But weirdly, I think people should play it. Partly for the janky charm of mid 2000s sci-fi, and for the ridiculous challenge the game offers. I found this game to be unreasonable. The enemy aim and awareness is incredible, and your guns and health are pretty underwhelming. The shotgun is decent, but you have to be so close that the enemies will nail you well before you can get in range. The machine gun is also not bad but feels really lame to use because you don't get enough ammo and have to play perfectly for it to be useful. I'm almost convinced this game was meant to be played with cheats. This is my main gripe with the game - you have to play pretty much perfectly to be able to make smooth progress. There are so many times even in the first half of the game that I found myself in a tight spot and had to rely on quicksaves to make sure I was making the perfect moves so I could progress. It started to feel like a turn-based game. It isn't fun. The story is kind of interesting, actually very acceptable for an FPS game, although the main character is not a convincing action hero, he is just a regular guy who is somehow capable of overcoming robots and speci…

It's just, not that good. Worth 5$ if you're bored though. Enemies suck. I don't care that they are dumb but they literally fire what feels like the frame they see you. Game thinks it is more interesting than it is. Worth 5$ but I don't know many functional games that aren't
