Ritual: Crown of Horns

[u]Summary[/u] Fast combat with different weapons and spells, but feels more like a 2000-era flash game than a full standalone title. If the combat looks fun and you don't mind mandatory auto aim, buy it on sale. [u]Likes[/u] 💚Top-down Shooter action. 💚Dark Western theme. 💚Offers unlockable weapons and spells to fit your playstyle. [u]Dislikes[/u] ❌Story is delivered primarily through tedious text-based conversations. ❌Underwhelming meta-progression via purchasable gear. ❌Auto-aim is permanently enabled. ❌Level loading pops in and out in a jarring, unfinished way.

I picked this up in the last few years and have gone back and forth on it. It didn't grab my interest right away but its feels better coming back the last few times. One thing I am sure it is much easier with a controller on this one keyboard is kind of slow and makes dying quicker. The art is decent better in some areas then others . Its a twin stick shooter with td elements. Its not bad and fun in small doses but for me can't do more then that. I understand why but having to shoot kind of takes the steam out of a twin stick shooter. I am sure there are many who adore this game but for me its ok. I am not saying not bu but if you can pick it up on a sale.

Pedorro. Mecanocas malisimas, tan malas que hacen que el juego sea un desafio, por eso lo pasé. Pero este juego es un rotundo NO, como el dedo en la c0l4

Это исключительно строгий и захватывающий экшен, основанный на игровом процессе, основанном на орде, действие которого разворачивается в альтернативной, антиутопической версии Дикого Запада. Повествование отличается чрезвычайно тревожной и сюрреалистической атмосферой, вызывающей всепроникающее ощущение адского пограничного запустения. Действие игры разворачивается в постапокалиптической среде, где традиционные элементы Дикого Запада парадоксальным образом сочетаются с пустынной, разрушающейся реальностью. Этот уникальный и увлекательный игровой процесс значительно отличается от традиционных западных игровых сюжетов, предлагая самобытный и захватывающий игровой процесс, который перекликается как с исторической достоверностью, так и со спекулятивной фантастикой.

The long and short of it is that this is a top-down shooter with arcade gameplay spread across a handful of different enough levels and a smattering of story that feels like it's punching way above the weight of its presentation and having too little of an effect. Equip three weapons, three spells, a few pieces of equipment that modify them individually, kill a ceaseless (or, at least, for the duration of the 2 to 5 minute time limit ceaseless) flow of cultists with axes. Rinse, repeat. This game, at its best, reminds me of the high octane, low use brain action of classic Crimsonland. Which is gunfortunate, it doesn't quite hold up in comparison and it's really not often at its best. Games don't need to be clever but when the gameplay relies on pleasures this simple, they need to do a better job at feeding back into them. A couple choice combinations (more ammo and faster aiming for the basic six shooter, for example, or a freeze bomb and a rapid fire weapon) are so effective there's little reason to experiment with anything else, but not effective enough to be particularly fun to deploy. It was good enough to play through while I listened to some weird west appropriate podcasts, but it's difficult to recommend as anything but filler when you want to turn off your brain. Oh, and the ending is abysmal, like it's reaching very hard and very far for something clever but simply is not. And immediately undermines itself by spitting you back into the hub area to continue doing some stupid shooting.

Gra szybka, trudna i bez błędów.
