DEAD TRASH

parabens pra quem mixou o volume das armas

corny but in a good way

Not a triple AAA title but, something about it just grabs you and pulls you in. Guns sounds great, and can definitely feel the punch. Enemies are variant and don't feel dull. Secrets to be found along the way. Map design is meh but I am not complaining. Long enough to kill some time and not take up the whole day. Well worth it, especially when it is on sale.

Really cool and fun. I prefer the base game over the DLC campaign, but I love the soul in it all and I hope to see more from Crowhill Studios.

Отличная игра. Как будто смешали фильм Street Trash и Manhunt. Всем любителям подобной эстетики - обязательно к приобретению

This setting deserves to be a movie or even a novel. This is one gross post apocalypse.

[h1][b]Recommended:[/b] Dead Trash[/h1] Every once in a while, it's nice to take a little break from long, complex games like Far Cry 3 or Citizen Sleeper 2 and do a bit of a detox with something short and sweet. Now, I was necessarily expecting that to be the case with [b]Dead Trash[/b] - I finished the game the same evening I bought it - but what I ended up getting was a nostalgic and compact boomer shooter with atmosphere to spare. The story of Dead Trash takes place in an unnamed city that was site zero of some kind of deadly epidemic. In an effort to combat the disease and halt its spread, the government decided to wall off the city and declare it a quarantine zone. Years later, the once prosperous city is in ruins. Vicious gangs of mutants and psychopaths rule the streets, and government hazmat teams regularly patrol the city, killing anyone they come across. Through all this, our nameless protagonist, convinced there's a deeper conspiracy surrounding the epidemic, is trying to survive the roving gangs and government goons, uncover the secrets buried deep below the city, and find his way out. If all of this sounds strangely familiar, it should. The story borrows pretty heavily from Escape from New York, mixing it with horror classics like The Crazies and The Purge. Derivative? Maybe, but who really cares - the game is all about mowing down hordes of creeps as you're fighting for your life. In keeping with this, the gameplay of Dead Trash takes a lot of cues from boomer shooters. You'll be using an arsenal of deadly weaponry to make your way through the fairly linear levels (with a few secret areas thrown in here and there), taking out anyone standing in your way. However, there are a couple of areas where Dead Trash diverges from the standard boomer shooter formula. The first is the movement controls. Boomer shooters typically feature fast-paced movement and snappy, responsive controls, which are kind of necessary to facilitate the "combat chess" gameplay most of these games are trying to achieve. Dead Trash gets this only halfway right: the controls are responsive, but the protagonist's movement speed is much slower than I expected. You probably won't notice this during play, since the most of the enemies move at the same languid pace, but there were a couple of moments of traversing longer distances where it became really obvious. The second is the choice of weaponry. The game features a total of 8 weapons, but unlike most boomer shooters, there isn't really all that much to tell them apart. Most can be paired up either by function [i](the hammer and axe as melee, the nail gun and .45 as pistols, the pipe gun and AK as automatic rifles, and the shotgun and super pistol as close range, high damage solutions)[/i] or by damage [i](for instance, the .45 and AK have the same damage output)[/i]. You'll also figure out fairly quickly how many shots with each weapon is enough to take down the different types of enemies. During my playthrough, I was mostly going with whatever weapon I had the most ammo pickups for in a given level. I feel like this was a real missed opportunity: I would've much rather seen 3 or 4 unique and memorable weapons than 8 that feel like they're there just because that's what you put in a boomer shooter. However, both of these are really minor gripes for what is, ultimately, an extraordinarily well-balanced game. There's a good mix of melee and ranged enemies, and the game does a great job of using audio cues to let you know what you're up against. Sure, the game will often try to freak you out by having screaming enemies rush you from around corners, but it never becomes unfair or throws more at you than you can handle. In fact, quite the opposite - the hitboxes are pretty generous, and even gun-toting enemies take a second before they start shooting, giving you ample time to assess the situation and prioritize your targets. All of this is presented in a style that harkens back to the era of classic shooters, with low-poly 3D environments and photographic 2D sprites for enemies, weapon pickups, and other sundry objects, like trash bags and barrels. The art style is just as moody and grimy as you would expect from a game called "Dead Trash", and the whole thing has a charming east-European-jank vibe to it. The comic-book-style "cinematics" between levels look like a low-rent version of Max Payne, which works perfectly with the overall dingy aesthetic. That's Dead Trash in a nutshell: a really solid effort by an indie developer to make a dark and moody homage to classic shooters. And considering it'll cost you about as much as a large bag of chips (probably closer to a candy bar, since it's frequently on sale), if it looks like something you might enjoy, and you have some 90 minutes to kill, getting it should be a no-brainer.
