SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising

A lot of things aren't explained at all, which makes the game a lot more confusing and frustrating than it has to be

Отличный шутер с видом сверху, который способен сделать игрока богом (хотя некоторые варианты это тупо абуз механик) или дать по щам толпой противников потому что ты слишком поверил в себя. Из минусов для себя считаю мультиплеер поскольку игра становится чуть ли не раза в 2 динамичнее за счет увеличения сложности и количества противников на уровнях когда вас двое, да так что мне просто скучно играть в соло. Поэтому сначала пройдите игру в соло и потом уже в мультиплеер. Про рогаликовую часть могу сказать что вариантов одной и той же пушки масса и понадобиться много часов чтобы поиграть со всеми, разве что спустя уже забегов 10 увидишь что уровни примерно одинаковые. Но я захожу в игру лишь за расстреливанием боссов и толп врагов с пулемета за тяжелого пехотинца потому что мне нравится просто нажать пкм потом лкм и нонстоп делать бррррр пока босс не умрёт. Кстати бронированный транспортер это тупо damage check вашего билда

I found out about this game thanks to sseth and had it in the backlog for months before I delved into it. ...this game is crack. I've been playing for months & It's reeled me in as hard as Noita has. After 108 hours I finally completed the game which seems absurd that it took that long but I was playing on 220%, refusing to lower the difficulty. I uninstalled the game to stop myself from delving any further. I had a lot of fun with many of the classes with my favourites being Breacher, Assassin & Engineer, the latter being the one I managed to stop Armageddon with, only to die one loop in due to dropping the shard. Thanks for this awesome game!

Con: Increasingly high risks of lobby crashing once you master the game and the more you break it, particularly in coop. That's it, there's nothing else negative to be said. Absolute gem; decent lifespan on singleplayer and virtually infinite replayability on coop.

Incredibly addictive gameplay, in one of the best top-down shooters ever released, PERIOD. Rich and complex skill-tree, and the ability to unlock and customise everything from combat modules (skills), guns, initial loadout and equipment. There are eight playable subclasses, and it plays a little like a roguelite with procedurally generated maps and encounters that never seem to end in variety. Each class has a LOOOONG progression arc, meaning you’ll be unlocking new content even at thirty or forty hours in. I’m truly astounded by just how rich and complex the gameplay is. It runs awesome on the SteamDeck, and if you’re a PC user you definitely have an advantage with an external controller over keyboard. There is a sequel game, Synthetik 2 that’s been in early access for over five years. Skip that entirely and play the original. It’s fully complete, has good support for multiplayer, and your character/achievement unlocks are transferable to the FREE Syntheik:Arena game. You definitely have an advantage by playing Legion Rising first, and levelling up. Full disclaimer: You will find this very addictive - its fast become one of my favourite ways to kill five or ten minutes in a session. You will rage scream when getting slaughtered over and over and over again, dying in brutal hails of gunfire or fiery infernos. And Doombots? Thermonuclear explosions that even the fastest legs can’t run away from fast enough. I *hate* those Doombots. You will too.

Ehhh... I mean it's alright. Too many complex things for a co-op game. And also yeah, if you're planning on playing this solo, don't even bother. Like the amount of enemies that this game spams at you is insane. I also don't like how there's a devil offering mechanic in this game. Especially when it doesn't even tell you from the jump like I opened 2 red crates and then out of nowhere I take crazy damage (aka my health has been sacrificed) as well as getting some debuffs that increases my damage vulnerability, reduces my shield capacity, and some other bullstiff. And of course, it's one of those games where you can't disable screen flash 'cause the devs just... I don't know, I guess they just don't care about your eye health or something. Like who the heck likes having their eyes flashed when an explosion happens? But yeah, all in all, not really a big fan of this game. Especially since it's a roguelike so get ready for some luck-based nonsense while death is extremely punishing. I do like the graphics though. P.S. Remove the jam mechanic. That should not exist in a futuristic game like this.

if you inject The Binding of Isaac with Testosterone it transforms into this game.

this game immediately had me hooked from an fps background. definitely worth a buy at current price levels (£4.12 at present) ... so addictive and satisfying. i love the permanently on all chat and the community too, especially the relentless toilet humour
