Long Gone Days

This game is a total rugpull. If you thought you were going to play an exciting RPG about soldiers on the modern battlefield, guess again… it’s basically an angry leftist simulator with all the basic talking points you see in every “anti war” story. In short: Military bad War bad Authority bad Hierarchy bad Questioning authority good Rebellion ALWAYS good Normal family bad Found family good Imagine playing Call of Duty, or Metal Gear Solid, basically any military themed game, but after they set the scene and you have all this cool military type stuff going on, it quickly switches to a Bong Rip simulator where you have to waste time talking to disgruntled leftists who are living out their fantasy of being chased down by the military? It’s crazy how RPG players will eat this slop up and imagine it’s deep and meaningful. As if ignoring the importance of conflict in human history, even its importance to the human soul, is somehow less important than being an angry anti-authoritarian goofball with no direction in life. Thanks but no thanks. What are the chances that this is another fake “indie” game getting tons of money from NGOs and government sources? Do I even need to take the time to find out? Or is it a safe assumption at this point?

Estamos aqui diante de um jogo que merece receber muito mais atenção do que ele têm. Um JRPG narrativo onde a barreira de idioma é parte central da experiência e ajuda a construir essa sensação constante de isolamento em meio à guerra. A premissa por si só já desperta curiosidade. A partir daí, o jogo mergulha em temas como propaganda, desinformação e o custo humano do conflito, sempre com foco nas pessoas e nas relações que surgem no caminho. É uma experiência relativamente curta (terminei em cerca de 12 horas) e muito mais voltada para exploração e interação do que para combate. As batalhas estão presentes, o sistema é básico, mas cumpre seu papel sem atrapalhar o ritmo. Recomendo entrar sabendo o mínimo possível. Descobrir a história aos poucos faz parte do impacto que o jogo propõe.

Story is fine , short jrpg , too much yapping at times , no voice acting which is a big minus for me , overall 6/10 buy on sale.

Long Gone Days is an old-school, grounded RPG story, with just as much old-school, grounded RPG gameplay. Sadly, that also makes it feel a bit lacking for the modern day. This is perfectly shown by the game's archaic resolution limit of 1080p. The whole game really feels like it isunapologetically about going back to an older way of playing video games. There is very little tutorial, although to be fair, the game doesn't necessarily need a lot of it. The way its systems work can definitely feel quite old, though. Health and action points don't regenerate at save points, and instead have to be recovered through items, defeated enemies, or the environment. It's a very old-school approach that can take some getting used to. The turn-based combat system itself is very standard, but it does its job. There is a good, moderate challenge, with managing resources like health, items, and action points being a big part of the game. That said, I would say the game is overall pretty light on combat. It's often spaced out, with sections of more and less combat, which gives you a bit of time to breathe and recover your resources. All of this points towards the biggest strength of the game: its really grounded feel. This shines especially through the story. Without spoiling anything: you play as Rourke, a soldier in a cult general's private army sent on a mission for power. The game tackles this maturely and unflinchingly, nationalism, militarism, radicalization. Raising uncomfortable questions and, more importantly, refusing easy answers. It commits to the unease. Overall, Long Gone Days is a game I would recommend for its story and its human element. It is really a game that tries to go for uncomfortable conclusions and actually deals with them in a mature and grounded fashion. The old-school RPG gameplay may feel dated in places, but alongside the story it creates an experience that I enjoyed for what it is.

игра, от которой у вас растрогается сердечко. История персонажей рассказана на ура, причем всех. От обычных гражданский , до наших двух солдат снайпера Рурка, и врача Адаира. Прошла игру на одном дыхании, правда когда была на финале я удивилась когда Койла не удовлетворил мой , как мне казалось, один из нормальных вариантов ответов, чтобы тот примкнул к нам. Пришлось этот момент перепроходить... причем с чуть - ли не с самого начала после прибытия в Польшу. По этому сохраняйтесь частенько если : 1. Вы хотите сразу все достижения быстро 2. Если вдруг концовка вам не понравится , выйдите на плохую так сказать( дух команды мой был на максимум, у меня лично была бы хорошая концовка если бы просто убедила бы Койла присоединиться к нам). И да, нужно дух команды держать на максимально хорошем уровне, желательно не открывать в Красноярке(вроде бы не ошибка с городом) ), письмо парня, который написал прощальное письмо , если вы захотите полностью закрыть область по заданиям на 100% для галочки. Так как дух команды будет низок , вы попросту не сможете пойти на поиски девочки, чья мама попросила Ивана с его друзьями найти ее до прибытия корабля для бегства из города в другую страну ( Германию).

Beautiful game. Worth replaying for Adair alone. 10/10
