Soviet Soldier

I have backed this game on Kickstarter, so my opinion might be biased, anyway... This is the most awkwardly made FPS game I've played in years. Controls are clunky, animations are stiff, gun-play is alright, but might be better, voice acting is a combination of semi-pros, AI and amateurs (kickstarter supporters; yep me included) so it's rather 'eh', but, man... Man, this is some absolutely awesome storytelling right there. So firstly, the setting is quite unique, WWII, Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and Soviet-Afghan War seen from the USSR perspective? Yes, please. Secondly, "make-your-own-story" kind of moral choices in the dialogues? And sure, they mostly affect the dialogues, but it's building up so much immersion, which is constantly being broken by awkwardly put together environments and clunky gameplay. But man, if Go Up Gaming had more money and an actual team (this is a one-man-project) behind it, how brilliant it could have been... I am going to recommend it.

I back this one because it seemed to be interesting . It has a decent story but mechanics , models and such are all over the place. Model collision is not great since some go through others . As well has character models who look at best like the are skating but mostly gliding when walking. I have not issue with jankiness most of the time and with this being a first project for solo developer . As far as being an asset flip i am not sure but the character models are pretty stiff and look unnatural. It is 16 which is not a bad price point for a first game but I do I think the developer needs to do some work on it before it become a completely viable game. I am not going to give it negative rating but advise you know its rough but it does have heart.

Not sure why everyone else is leaving reviews like the they have been handed a drawing by a retarded child and are trying to act like they think its good. This is a product we all paid actual money for, from what I assume to be an Adult. The game isn't done. The models barley move. The floor is made up of tiles too far away. Everywhere just had JPegs of a random photo of Stalin. It Guns feel awful. The game takes control away from you every 3 minutes for a long AI-voiced conversation, of some of the worst dialog ever recorded. Really heavy handed anti-soviet history, like its been written by a high school student who sat through exactly 1 history lesson on the Battle of Stalingrad. This "game" honestly feels like its been made over a weekend.

Awesome job for a Solo Developer. Engaging story!

Overall it was a fun little game, and as some have stated, it's a decent effort for a solo developer putting out his first game. It ran smoothly and was fairly challenging at certain times. If you can look past the awkward animations, A.I voices and somewhat frustrating gun control, then I think you would enjoy it, even more so if you pick it up on sale like I did. Fixing the auto aim would have gone a long way, but in saying that, after a little while, I got it down pat. Looking forward to Go Up Gaming's next release. The only thing that would of made this game that little bit better, would be to have Boris Yeltsin doing a drunken dance! :P
