City of Brass

CITY OF BRASS - купил случайно, еще давно, для выбивания карточек. Но вот недавно решил посмотреть на игру повнимательнее и она однозначно развлекает! В ней красивая картинка, очень удобное управление и разнообразные враги! Из минусов: игра хоть и не плохая, но в ней нет какой-то изюминки что-ли, которая заставляла бы в нее вернуться!

This game is fun from the start, when you have no idea what your doing, to the moment you really get used to the whip and mechanics. It's one of the few games where I actually use the environmental hazards against enemies because this game makes it feel cohesive and simple. Got this while it was on sale but in hindsight, it's worth it's full price. Overall, one of the best FPS roguelike game's I've played.

Гра має цікаву концепцію, але швидко втрачає свою привабливість. Управління здається незграбним, бойова система одноманітна, а генерація рівнів часто повторюється, що робить геймплей нудним. До того ж, баланс складності може викликати більше роздратування, ніж задоволення

Too slow and annoying. Why do you have "walk/slow down" on shift instead of some kind of dodge?

TL; DR: a solid rogue-like that, while outclassed amongst the best of the bunch, is unique and satisfying enough to have players keep coming back to play "just one more game". Pros: -unique, engaging, and at times stunning art direction -satisfying gameplay loop with interesting characters/class types and good risk/reward "wish" system (use a wish on the genie that disables traps as soon as you find one, trust me) -combat, while not wholly necessary (you can run past enemies every level if you possess the skill), is still fun and varied enough to be enjoyable learning the nuances with each character and their upgrades -while no in-game map, the "compass" that guides you to the exit is accurate enough to allow you to follow it blindly if you don't wish to explore Cons: -due to their mechanics most of the bosses can be cheesed; the first and final boss fights are the only two that can't be, and the other three are easily beaten from a safe distance well outside their "arenas" using the right character or throwable object -the movement is awkward at first, as if the devs originally wanted to make this with movement shooter capabilities but then nerfed player speed and responsiveness, and even once you get used to the dodge, whip, and traversal mechanics to blow through levels it never really feels "right" -while reskinning enemies to have more powerful variants in later levels is standard practice, the enemy variety is quite low overall and makes those later reskinned enemies feel like cheap inclusions instead of part of a balanced bestiary; especially when each set of levels only has one or two truly unique enemies -no in-game map with no real reason to explore each level; defeating enemies does not normally net you anything in-game, and collecting gold is only important in effecting if you can buy equipment/upgrades from the genie "shops" that are scattered in each level...while combat and gold do factor into your post-death XP gain, gaining levels only rewards you with the occasional character and meager equipment unlocks, so the mechanic is more a cumulative score rather than character improvement Overall, this rogue-like possesses a unique hook, solid execution, and great art direction. Is this amongst the best in the genre? No. Does it possess the almost addictive ability to have you keep playing past when you should? Yes. Buy this on sale if you're skeptical of its staying power in your library, but especially with the soundtrack combo I think it worth a full-price purchase.

прикольно
