[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] Relik is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. There's only a superficial "game" here. I will preface this with a note that the developers abandoned this before it could get approved for the mobile app stores, but the game was clearly intended for iPhones and Android (hence the cash shop). The developers were trying to make a player-versus-player puzzle strategy game where competitors solve puzzles against each other. Gameplay involves head-to-head matches focused on completing these challenges. It offers a basic competitive puzzle experience. But the players never stuck around and the developers apparently discovered gamers on Steam aren't mobile peasants that will throw money at them in the cash shop. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a na…

Игра "Relik" оказалась приятным сюрпризом. Визуальный стиль с его пиксельной графикой очарователен и напоминает о классических играх, но при этом выглядит свежо и современно. Игровой процесс затягивает: исследование мира, решение головоломок и сражения с врагами – все это выполнено на достойном уровне. Сюжет, хоть и незамысловат на первый взгляд, постепенно раскрывается и заставляет сопереживать главному герою. Особенно хочется отметить музыкальное сопровождение, которое отлично передает атмосферу игры и создает нужное настроение. Из минусов можно отметить некоторую сложность в управлении, к которой нужно немного привыкнуть. Также, иногда встречаются незначительные баги, но они не критичны и не портят общего впечатления от игры. В целом, "Relik" – это увлекательное приключение, которое заслуживает внимания любителей инди-игр и ретро-стиля. Рекомендую к ознакомлению!
