Dystopy

"Dystopy" is another school project, this one from Campus ADN in Montreal, Canada. And, weirdly, just like the last game I reviewed, it's another one of those games where the developers seem to think Dance Dance Revolution is the pinnacle of gaming and try to shove QTE/rhythm mechanics into every other game genre they can find. And, as always, it fails disastrously. This time they decided that retro platforming would somehow be better if you had to play Dance Dance Revolution while you platform. This does not make platforming better. No, this is not a good idea. Do not do it, game developers. And this is even more disgraceful because the teachers at the college allowed the students to think this kind of thing is okay... how are these guys going to get jobs in the industry if the teachers teach them wrong on purpose? The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening h…

- is negative + is positive = is neutral x is horrific + The first thing i saw when i started up the game was some pretty neat looking graphics, nothing fancy but very nice for something that is a basic indie, and especially for a school project. + The game is free, that always helps = The combat mechanics and movement feel janky at first, but once I realized that hitting a button while in a combo just prolongs the combo it became easy to readjust = the puzzles are ok, the plot is also ok - there was almost no sound, the one sound i did hear was the electricity, and i had to literally take my headset off cus it hurt my ears. (x) - its super easy to get softlocked, and if you get softlocked you have to start all over again. This is the game that exists when you ask for metroid, and you mom says "we have metroid at home" I know its free, but the getting softlocked repeatedly and starting on chapter one 3 times just took all the fun away.

Good concept but there are a lot of issues.

Игра "Dystopy" — это атмосферный симулятор выживания с элементами киберпанка. Графика умеренная, но стильный дизайн мира и мрачная атмосфера создают глубокое погружение. Геймплей сочетает ресурсный сбор, строительство баз и борьбу с враждебными группами. Система управления немного запутанна, а диалоги с NPC поверхностны. Однако сюжетная линия заставляет задуматься о будущем человечества. Подойдет любителям мрачных сценариев и стратегического мышления.
