HUNDRED FIRES: The rising of red star - EPISODE 1

metal gear solid if it was actually good

Metal Gear Survive walked so Hundred Fires could run. Kojimbo could never make this good of a game, David Amado Fernández is my god now 🙏 🙏 🙏

This is a satire of Metal Gear Solid. The game is set in the early 60's and you're in control of Montenegro, a former cuban revolutionary who quit. Montenegro tried to live peacefully, afterwards, but to no avail, for he was forced to enter the battlefield once again. Your current mission? Assassinate a japanese developer. A developer of what? As Montenegro, himself, would say. We are not sure but, apparently, it is a developer of *nuclear weapons*. The plot is funny but the portrayal of JFK (yes, he is in the game) is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious. It reminds me of Handsome Jack from the Borderlands series. The gameplay is very fluid, pretty damn similar to MGS. You can sneak, crouch, roll, go prone, crawl, hide on boxes, choke people to death, aim (and shoot) on first person... The standard. The controls itself are wonky, though, if you're using a controller. Right Trigger does not work so you have to remap it somewhere else or play with the controller + the keyboard, which is what I did, due to laziness. The sound, even if the volume is set at 100%, can barely be heard. Only once did I manage to hear anything at an acceptable volume and it was at random. There's also an extremely ann…

For a Metal Gear fan, this game makes for a nice indie-style addition if you haven't had enough of the series yet. The cutscenes are well-animated for an indie title. One thing I find a bit odd is the control scheme for the sniper rifle: you zoom by holding down the Triangle button while firing with Square. Also, the weapon sounds are very quiet and lack impact; I often didn't feel like the weapon was actually dealing damage—especially with the tranquilizer pistol. Additionally, the assault rifle gets cut off at the edge of the screen in first-person view. The weapons also look a bit "glued" to the screen; they could use some subtle movement animations. Another annoying issue is that while lying prone in a ventilation shaft, you can't move the camera vertically while aiming; I could only shoot enemies in the legs. I tried to cancel aiming, but unfortunately couldn't, so I ended up firing unintentionally. All in all, though, it’s a solid game, so I definitely recommend it. It’s just a bit short, unfortunately.

HUNDRED FIRES: The Rising of Red Star – Episode 1 is the opening installment of an independent stealth-action trilogy developed by David Amado Fernández and published by Naili Studio. Built around infiltration mechanics, Cold War-inspired political tension, and tactical gameplay, the title aims to deliver an experience that values patience and planning over raw firepower. Rather than following the formula of traditional military shooters that reward aggressive playstyles, Episode 1 places players into situations where caution, awareness, and careful decision-making become the keys to survival. The story introduces Valero Montenegro, an operative pulled into a dangerous mission connected to international conflict and nuclear threats. Set against an alternate Cold War backdrop, the narrative revolves around covert military operations involving secret weapons programs, hidden agendas, and escalating geopolitical instability. Montenegro enters hostile territory with objectives that quickly evolve into something far larger than a simple infiltration assignment. The game uses this backdrop to establish tension while gradually introducing mysteries that serve as the foundation for later …

"Mom can we have Metal Gear Solid?" "No honey, you have Metal Gear Solid at home." The Metal Gear Solid at home in question: This game. Of course I've played the original Metal Gear Solid game, so I can appreciate what this one went for, the voice acting is laughably bad and peak schlock. Controls are sluggish and janky, par for the course for an indie attempt at an all time stealth classic. Pretty much, if Snake retired prematurely and called up his friend (or cousin) from Cuba to do the legend's work, this is the result. Ep. 2 and 3 should be interesting. Not much to do after beating the campaign, so wait til this is on sale at least. MGS Vets need not apply.
