Dustwind: Resistance

The game is definitely not an RPG, not a Tactics and not a Strategy. Action-Adventure? Maybe. Anyway, I can't recommend it. And I don't know who were all these folks giving positive reviews. Do you want some post-apocaliptic tactics RPG - better check "Dead State". [b]Scenario and the world:[/b] The scenario is not just childish, it is absurd. On the first slides you've been told that villagers are veterans, few moments later they are helplessly wiped out by a couple of raiders. You lived your whole life with those folks, but you don't even know their names, they are not "Jack" or "Tom", not even "asdf" or "fghj", they are "citizen" and "villager". The village is soo poor and primitive that you has literally nothing to take there, not even a rotten apple, but your dad brought you a whole bunch of robots just on a daily training. And where they disappeared during raiders attack? Your wife supposedly was burned alive, and then some prick told you to leave her corpse rot and go save the world. And you like "ok, I go". Ohh, man, that doesn't work in a real world. The farm is wiped out by raiders, but the farmers have intact machinegun turret in their storage which then shreds a whole army of them. Wut? And I tell you, a real-life raiders won't burn and kill everyone just for a sake of total destruction, its a dumb cliche; they will rob money and food on a regular basis instead. A rubber plunger used as a club. The dog walking up and down vertical ladders (yeah, like a witcher's horse). The same dog planting mines, using stimpacks? The machinegun raiders wandering around or running straight in a front assault. Tl;dr: cliche, absurd then even more absurd and then even more cliche. [b]Weapons and combat:[/b] The place where adequateness has been brutally murdered for the "balance". A sport rifle is a light weapon like a pistol and a sniper rifle is a heavy weapon like a minethrower? A knife doing the same damage as a pistol or a rifle, really? Your dog is shredding raiders like a paper? [b]Role-playing aspect:[/b] no, none exists. A handful of stats and inventory won't make your game "RPG". There are literally zero choices you can make. Even "dialogs" - you just click through them without any ability to interact. [b]Tactics:[/b] the one big no. Covers aren't working, enemies aren't using any advantages, so - no. [b]Save and load:[/b] you will do it a lot, there are important things which you cannot know upfront and which will just kill you.
