Red Horizon

Игра "Red Horizon" - это захватывающая стратегия в реальном времени, переносящая игрока в альтернативную версию Второй мировой войны. Сюжет, хоть и содержит элементы фантастики, цепляет своей мрачностью и показывает конфликт с неожиданных сторон. Уникальные фракции, каждая со своим стилем игры и технологическим древом, добавляют глубины и реиграбельности. Графика, конечно, не самая современная, но визуальный стиль выдержан и создает атмосферу технологического прогресса в условиях тотальной войны. Звуковое сопровождение на высоте - эпичная музыка и реалистичные звуки техники погружают в происходящее. Геймплей требует тактического мышления и умения быстро адаптироваться к ситуации на поле боя. Единственный минус - иногда баланс между фракциями кажется немного смещенным, но это компенсируется разнообразием стратегий и юнитов. В целом, "Red Horizon" - достойная игра для любителей RTS, предлагающая интересный сеттинг, глубокий геймплей и атмосферную подачу. Рекомендую к ознакомлению.

This game feels like it was made in the developer's spare time, and whilst it gets some grace for this overall this is not a good game. The game is a shmup with a permadeath system. Whilst the game is fairly short only having 16 levels and a final boss stage, the rogue-like permadeath adds very little to the game only to serve making an already tricky game harder. You can experience all the 5 varieties of enemies and all the upgrades in a single run. The music is a nice little chiptune which works fine and doesn't feel out of place. The art style is a bit simple, but works well to show the differences between enemies. The background feels lacking in some sort of variation, but it is understandable in not wanting to clutter up the play area. The "hyperspace starfield" effect which looks like some sideways falling snow did not look great and added very little to the feel of the game. The upgrades were fine. Nothing too exciting or interesting here, just the standard triple shot, speed and drop increase, and so on. I felt the game would have appreciated more in level drops. Currently there are only health and shield drops, classic upgrades like an invincibility, increased fire speed, or quad damage would be nice additions. The controls are very simple, just forward, backwards, turn left and right, and shields. You ship constantly shoots which can make lining up shots on enemies tricky before you get some fire speed upgrades. I did find it most effective to just reverse everywhere so you can hit the ships that ram at you. There is no weight to the movement and your ship can turn on a dime making fine movement easier. Overall for £0.79 it is a cheap game that can be fun for an hour. However I cannot find myself recommending this game. Red Horizon is a pretty bland game with a lack of variety in enemies, upgrades or challenge.
