Luna Abyss

В целом неплохо, ниер + метроид прайм. Челленджа в игре нет, просто повествовательное приключение. Местами приятные пейзажи.

This a wonderful little game with fun gunplay, mild puzzle solving and movement. The story is more a small delightful collection of vignettes, but does quite manage to combine into a whole. The ending is rather abrupt.

A solid "Buy on sale". Its a bullet hell fps. There was obviously a lot of budgeting involved in the development, but for the most part they made it work. The combat starts slow to teach you the ropes, then picks up pace significantly towards the first major boss. The game then continues to develop straight through to the final fight in an organic way. My main gripe is that the game feels incomplete. The ending doesn't feel right. Like there was something more that should be there. A "post game" mission of sorts. I doubt we'll see it, unfortunately. Regardless, its a satisfying few hours. I'd say 7-12 hours, depending on what difficulty and how many collectibles you end up searching for. Just wish there was that last push at the end for an ending that was more satisfying.

I originally bought this once I saw the art style and thought the combat looked like it could have expanded into something interesting, but what I learned is I really should read more reviews before I jump in a game blind. The aesthetic looks amazing with some excellent structural and character designs. The game overall ran well in terms of optimization and the platforming movement is quite good. This is all I can really say for the positives though. Combat is bland, mostly due to the limited enemy variety and only having four weapons to utilize the mechanics, which boils down to breaking two types of shields. Given the length of the game clocks around 6 hours (3 if you start using the accessibility features, will cover later), it might be okay for some. The main issue is the enemy attack patterns are similar in most aspects (nothing fancy, shotgun blast, line and spiral tracking) and the rare boss fight (not counting the few that are just normal enemies later on) boils down to flip switch, shot switch, or kill enemies to remove invincibility between minion spawns. Platforming is at least a little more robust, but there are long stretches of level sections that are just simple jumps and falls either acting as loading screens or stretching it out enough to allow dialog to play (and you feel the emptiness of this world after awhile). Even the collectibles felt sanitized with how many white paint symbols there were. Not terrible, but there were plenty of times the motivation to continue died due to the lack of challenge (even on max difficulty settings). The worst aspect of this game was without a doubt the writing. The voice acting was okay, but the dialog constantly pulled me out of the experience. For being set 200 years in the future (even with the story reason for some of characters making the stretch less of an issue), the language just doesn't match the tone or otherworldly feeling of this setting. There are other story issues that felt underbaked or even forgotten by the time the credits roll, which wasn't enough to hide the fairly predictable story beats. Another issue, surprisingly, is the wide range of accessibility features. Some features I can understand (visual ones are desperately needed given how much of a headache the bullet spam can be with particle and screen flashing when hit by certain attacks), but is a teleport function for platforming needed for a single jump? No damage during combat? You are better off making a instant kill option over no damage if the goal was helping progression over learning fights (which is made easier with the lock on setting). I am all for accessibility (I need it from time to time due to my own problems), but this is the first time I honestly had to question the excess of the settings. Normally the combat and environmental story telling can carry a game for me (even if a lot of the areas in the first half are way to dark), but the dialog and writing were enough for me to put this as a don't recommend.

A beautifully unique blend of platforming and shooting in a bullet-hell style. Had a lot of fun with this one, actually sat down for a solid 6 hours on a day off work just to finish it because it was that immersive and interesting. I usually struggle to play games for that long in one sitting anymore without needing a break. Pros: + Surprisingly decent story that gives you a lot to think about. World-building is nice since, for the most part, you don't need to ruin the flow of progression by constantly looking around for secrets. They're usually quite obvious + FPS gameplay is simplistic but doesn't outstay its welcome via not being a heavy feature of the game + Incredible atmosphere and visuals. Very unique mix of industrial/fantasy and an awesome colour palette + Voice acting generally pretty good + Level design overall pretty decent (though rather linear) + Upgrades etc. are well paced and all feel good to use + Soundtrack is good, just nothing to write home about + Appears to take mild inspiration from games like Returnal and Metroid Prime and does it well Cons: - One of the later levels is padded out far too much - Platforming is a bit inconsistent at times due to floatyness (mostly the dash), leading to "deaths" that feel a bit ass at times - The "hub" if you can call it that, feels like a bit of wasted potential, as is the room you're in between missions. Indie dev budget be like that though, so it's okay. - Due to the combination of simple gunplay and platforming, the game can feel a bit tedious here and there - Shotgun (won't spoil the name) sound is ear-piercing lmao Well worth the money. Play it.

[h1][i]Бездна помнит всё. Она не прощает ошибок, но щедро вознаграждает тех, кто способен слушать ее шёпот[/i][/h1] Объективно не смотря на трудности в разработке, и скандального ликвидирования студии сразу же после релиза, Kwalee Labs удалось дебютировать с уникальным проектом (граничащий с искусством). Очень обидно за студию, и за то что общество обделило своим вниманием отличную игру. - В игре шикарный арт-дизайн! Местные пейзажи завораживают, а работа с политрой цветов заставляет меня снять шляпу перед разработчиками. На Oled мониторе я буквально испытывал визуальный оргазм! - Музыкальное сопровождение запоминается, и оставляет эмоциональный отпечаток. Музыка идеально предаёт эмоциональный фон гибнущего мира, а так же передаёт его масштабы. За это нужно благодарить композитора [b]Дэвида Хаусдена (David Housden)[/b] и церковный хор [b]London Voices[/b]. - Сценарий (сюжет) вызывает моё уважение. Редко когда игры затягивают меня, и заставляют углубляться в лор отдавая всего себя ему. Не смотря на то, что встречаемые на нашем пути персонажи имеют пару минут хронометража, они запоминаются своей харизмой, своим дизайном, и в частности личной историей. - Геймплейно это bullet hell, с платформингом. Игра линейная, по этому вам не придётся душиться бэктрекингом как в прочих аналогов. Играется весьма бодро, и легко даже на максимальной сложности, но чем ближе к концу тем больше ваше заднее отверстие будет расширяться. По этому разработчики добавили режим для "терпил" где вам включают GOD-mod и дают возможность буквально скипнуть весь сегмент платформинга! Не смотря на то что Luna Abyss, это инди проект, она ощущается как нечто большее чем просто инди...трудно объяснить! Мой вердикт: Luna Abyss присоединяется в мой список "бриллиантов" и смело встаёт в ряд с такими проектами как: Signalis, Observation, Control, Silent Hill 2, Expedition 33, Metal Gear Solid 3, The Invincible, Soma, и Scorn. Оценка Luna Abyss: 8.2 паровозиков Томосов из 10! Рекомендую к ознакомлению.

muchache, exploradore

Nice fps, mini Doom + Portal. Incredible work with light and shadows
