Sargon's Lair

⠀

"Sargon's Lair" is a godawfully bad 2D retro pixel top down twin stick shooter. That's it. I'd talk about plot or whatever but this is so generic, it's not beige, it's grey. What do you do in the game? Twin stick shooting, negotiating through glitches and bugs, or, more popularly, uninstalling it. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive a…

Игра «Sargon’s Lair» предлагает атмосферный фэнтезийный сюжет и увлекательный геймплей, но с рядом недочётов. Погружение в мир древнего царя Саргона насыщено квестами, головоломками и боевыми механиками. Графика сдержана, но стильна, а музыка добавляет драматизма. Однако слабые сценарии диалогов и повторяющиеся мобы снижают ощущение глубины. Игра подойдёт любителям классических RPG, но требует терпения к техническим шероховатостям.

[h1]Italian[/h1] Il gioco in sè non è malaccio, ma non lo consiglierei perchè il gameplay è molto ripetitivo e noioso, i nemici anche se vari non sono molto stimolanti, e la schivata, oltre che inutile perchè passando attraverso i proiettili si prende danno, ha un range ed un cooldown che variano di volta in volta. L'unica cosa bella sono i boss, +1 rep [h1]English[/h1] The game is not bad by itself, but I wouldn't recommend it because of the boring and repetitive gameplay, even if there are many enemies they're also really boring, and the dash isn't really useful because dashing through projectiles lets you take damage, and its range and cooldown are pretty much randomic. +1 rep for the bosses, tho.
