1971 PROJECT HELIOS

There is much to be enjoyed in this game, so I won't give it a negative. But really, a game with no map, awkward camera angles and no zoom? No positioning before starting a battle, and on top of that the enemies have top positions, leaving you exposed or half covered and nowhere to run. Frequent battles with several snipers or officers that focus on and instakill your weakest character. But, it can be done... I got stuck in a room on level 7, completely overpowered and no cover. So I googled it and found a guy who used 2 melee characters and the switch position skill. Unfortunately I'm not motivated enough to replay the whole level. Tip: if you want to tackle Project Helios: you activate skills through objects you find, so turn that camera and look everywhere. Don't leave the map before having explored it in detail. The story is OK, dialogues are bad and not spoken, sound and music is good. Artwork and lore are excellent. Encountered no bugs.

Not a bad game, but it's buggy and there are better games worth 10 euros. The gameplay gets boring after sometime.

ENG A very poor and boring game; even if they gave it away for free, the price would still be too high. PL Bardzo słaba i nudna gra, nawet jakby rozdawali ją za darmo to i tak cena była za wysoka.

A good and intense indie!

Turn-based, squad-based tactical game - mighty appealing to me! And yet, having played this through, I can't recommend this game for anyone, not with clean conscience. The terrible control system, the linearity, the...uhh..."story", the rudimentary inventory and pathetic pixel-hunting for "documents" which have no bearing on the "game's"...uhh..."story", the necessity of mucking about with the "skill trees" (more like weeds, trees might suggest something larger) because the "game" does occasionally "forget" the choices you made... The fights do pose a challenge, which is good, but since the "game" was, after all, designed to be completed (in a sense), it's usually the case of finding the right combination of actions and moving onwards to the next scripted combat. "Silent Storm", despite its age, outclasses this at every step.

1971 PROJECT HELIOS is not a good game, its problem is a lack of important components: - there is no setting for graphics in menu - there is no character voice - terrible music - combat is boring, cannot loot dead bodies - ankward camera and character control This post-apocalyptic setting deserves much more care and effort to be an enjoyable game.
