Element Z

TLDR: Bottom of the barrel. ----------------------------- This shouldn't be sold, but some indie devs have no pride whatsoever. First of all, the game severely needs to be translated into English. If you're comfortable with pidgins, or Engooglish, you'll make it out more or less, but it's shameful nonetheless. Of course, if you're into Point n' Click games, you can finish one in an alien language. More specifics of this one: - A backwards interface. E.g., the mouse isn't enough, you absolutely need the Tab key. - Music off by default (I like that; my ears are very picky.) I turned it on, softly, and kept it on. - Almost silent (very few background sounds or feedback signals.) - No animations, except for the protagonist's walk. - Decent GUI, basic features available, large fonts. - Pixel hunting (no hot spots key,) not too bad though, as hit boxes are large enough. - Hot spots appear arbitrarily, or must be clicked again later for different effects. Not a bad concept per se, but badly done. - Glitches. No breaking bugs, but past actions keep becoming available again. Without their sprites. Conclusion: I wouldn't recommend Element Z if it was free. There are decent (and even good…

Element Z is one of the lowest grade point and click game I have ever played. It's a shame, because although it has good graphics, a lot of things have not been fine tuned. It's a step backwards. Not to mention the broken English translation used throughout the game. I'd say from the outlook that it's still under construction.

The graphics are great. That's about the only positive thing that can be said. The interface is truly horrible. You have to press tab to open an inventory, walking around is slow and using items together is not intuitive. But the worst thing by far is the translation. The English is so bad and broken that it's sometimes almost impossible to understand. It's so horrific that I'm not even sure if the game deserves "English" as the language option. Plus: There IS NOT voice acting, even if Steam claims there is. Really sad. Don't waste your money to this.
