"The Mutational" is an unusual 2.5D arcade shooter where you just run around and twin-stick shoot stuff, but you can also drop a couple of turrets and stuff. There's nothing amazing here, it's a bit of an obsolete genre. The game lacks polish and there's a few problems getting it to launch, then it runs your system up to 100% (I don't think this is malicious, it's just not optimised). There's a 1990's era military action film kind of look to this but that feels just like a skin on a basic shooter engine. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. 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 here. This game is fairly dated at 6 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. They have their hand out for a $3 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to give them money from buying …

Игра "The Mutational" зацепила своим мрачным сеттингом постапокалиптического мира, где выживание зависит от мутаций. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, держит в напряжении благодаря интересным персонажам и моральным дилеммам. Механика мутаций реализована неплохо – выбор влияет на геймплей и внешний вид персонажа, предлагая разные стили прохождения. Боевая система, к сожалению, немного однообразна, но компенсируется необходимостью тактического планирования. Графика, выполненная в мрачных тонах, отлично передаёт атмосферу безысходности. Минусы игры: некоторые миссии повторяются, а прокачка может показаться затянутой. Тем не менее, "The Mutational" - достойный представитель жанра, предлагающий интересный опыт выживания в мире, где мутации - единственный шанс. Любителям постапокалипсиса и игр с элементами RPG однозначно стоит попробовать.
