Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds Story

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Dev promised a free remake 3 years ago due to the poor reception. Didn't expect him to deliver...and he didn't. Do not buy.

Really bad controles, the could have been programmed by a 3 year old. The Checkpoints seemed bad placed sometimes and the story was not interesting at all.

*Higly* recommended, *BUT only* if you can apply C.E. cheats I post below: Starts poorly the prologue and first farm level, then gets surprisingly, almost epic. Keeps getting better and most interesting all the time, to some stellar moments, to my great satisfaction at the end. It's stealth, not my thing. I recommend as I played with C.E. as a 3rd person bomber: bombed the heck out of foes with Rubber Bombs. Plus health galore, as some levels are difficult. But one with tripods in particular is directly impassable otherwise I believe (turn green 4 laptops). And the following one is worse in difficulty. Fixes: The menu has problems, from menu to submenu some keys or left mouse stop working and must guess and use others. Even in the same menu, some items respond others not. Trick workaround, works the most: Tab encloses items in a rectangle, space implements. Sometimes you have to try other keys. But after that didn't have problems. Just a couple times in all the game the keyboard borked, just quit and reloaded. Once with the sound, same fix. Don't get why they didn't take the trouble to fix this, as the game has the *exact* same mechanics of their much more polished, and …

Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds Story is a science-fiction survival adventure that attempts to bring the terrifying atmosphere of H.G. Wells’ legendary invasion tale into an interactive format. Rather than transforming the source material into a loud action shooter filled with explosions and nonstop combat, the game focuses on fear, uncertainty, and the emotional experience of surviving a world that is rapidly collapsing. Players follow Harper, an ordinary woman trapped in the middle of the Martian invasion, as she searches for safety while witnessing humanity’s helpless struggle against overwhelming alien forces. The game’s slower pace and narrative-driven design immediately separate it from many modern sci-fi titles, giving it a more personal and grounded identity. The strongest aspect of the experience is undoubtedly its atmosphere. The devastated English countryside feels bleak and oppressive, with abandoned villages, smoke-covered roads, and strange alien growths creating a constant sense of dread. The iconic Martian Tripods are presented with impressive scale, towering over the environment like unstoppable mechanical gods. Their eerie sounds echo across the landscape and oft…

if you like wasting time and having a plot weaker than wet bread this is the game for you

One of the most unimaginative War of the Worlds games ever, level design is bland, autosaves are painful you can get almost to the end of a level and if you die you go all the way back to the start of it. Supposedly this game was getting a "remaster", but I have no idea if they actually did it or not because it's still broken. The enemies are so simple you can literally run past all of them and finish the game in a couple of hours, tripods look cool i guess but that's it. No explanation for why all the enemies in the game are humans, there's about 2 scenes with tripods in and other than that you're dealing with human enemies that teleport in front of you just so you have something to avoid but like I said you can just run around them and pick up all the items you need to get through the levels. The part I find the funniest is that this game has a "New Game+" so you can keep all your "upgrades" for the next playthrough, as if anyone will willingly play this game twice.
