Elemental

⠀

[h1]Before I played Elemental, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

This game was so good that i dreamt that I placed 1st in the ELEMENTAL ESPORT MAJOR 2002.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Elemental" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is one of those incredibly lazy cases of someone thinking they're a game developer because they stole some placeholder assets off the Unreal Marketplace and dumped them on a basic third person platformer game blueprint. Steam Direct lets you publish anything on Steam for $100. This game is a great example of why that's a terrible thing. This is an incredibly badly made platforming experience, full of jank, horrendously mismatched misused assets, incoherent design... it seems to have been knocked out in the space of a weekend and published as soon as the first successful project build completed. There's a co-op feature that's implemented even worse than the platforming is. So, "Elemental" is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other…

Elemental is a compact indie platforming experience that builds its gameplay around the familiar opposition between fire and water. Developed and published by Ali Kaan BAŞHAN, it favors straightforward mechanics over complicated systems, placing players in colorful obstacle courses where understanding elemental properties is just as important as movement and timing. Its combination of action, platforming, cooperation, and environmental challenges makes it approachable, although its relatively modest scope means it is best treated as a casual diversion rather than an expansive adventure. The defining mechanic involves choosing between Fire and Water characters. Environmental obstacles are associated with particular elements, and players must pay attention to which surfaces and hazards their character can safely touch. Making contact with an incompatible obstacle results in being returned to an earlier starting position. This simple rule gives otherwise conventional running and jumping sequences an additional consideration, since success depends on identifying a safe route rather than simply reaching the other side as quickly as possible. Environmental interaction adds another laye…

Игра "Elemental: War of Magic" - это амбициозный, но, к сожалению, сильно недоработанный проект. Теоретически, это пошаговая стратегия с элементами ролевой игры, предлагающая глубокую систему создания королевства, управления ресурсами и развития героев. Идея сражений магов, повелителей стихий, и захватывающих исследований мира выглядит многообещающе. Однако, на практике игра страдает от огромного количества багов, нестабильности и скудного AI. Интерфейс перегружен и не интуитивен, а скорость работы даже на мощных компьютерах оставляет желать лучшего. Процесс развития кажется затянутым и утомительным, а бои, часто решаются простым перевесом сил, нежели тактическим мастерством. Несмотря на потенциально богатый мир и интересную концепцию, "Elemental" так и не смогла раскрыть свой потенциал из-за технической неготовности и плохой оптимизации. Рекомендовать ее можно только самым терпеливым фанатам жанра, готовым простить ей многочисленные недостатки в надежде увидеть проблески былой славы, обещанной разработчиками. К сожалению, в текущем состоянии игра больше разочаровывает, чем радует.
