Valfaris: Mecha Therion

.

Прямое продолжение Вальфарис. Теперь это скролл-шутер и теперь это 3д. Ее тяжело сравнивать в лоб с предыдущими 2мя играми, т.к. просто другой жанр. Но в целом, Меха Терион придерживается оригинальных догматов - это брутализм, хардкор, пафос и Metal =) Я собственно, прошел все 3 игры от Стального Богомола и можно сказать, что она стоит на втором месте, после первого Вальфариса (тот просто супер шикарен). Кароче по факту, единственный минус для меня это то, что игра перешла в другой жанр. В остальном игра отличная.

This game was such a blast. I held off on getting it for a long time even though I really really enjoyed Valfaris. In fact I've purchased Valfaris on multiple systems, which is something I almost never do. But the sequel was a horizontal shooter and that is just a genre that I have never been hyped about. I can play a horizontal shooter for a few minutes, maybe an hour, but I never feel the need to go much farther than that. I'm very happy to report that Mecha Therion is absolutely an exception for me. I devoured this game, and the whole time I was playing I was genuinely excited to start over as soon as it finished. The aesthetic is impeccable, the switch to polygons did not cause the heavy metal vibes to suffer like I had worried. It's all the head banging goodness I was hoping for, with exactly the right amount of story to keep me interested (this is something I think steel mantis does exceptionally well), and I just giggled like a little kid again many times throughout. I'm very excited for Slain 2! This Dev is laser focused on my exact kind of aesthetic, gameplay, story ... It is a worthy sequel in every sense.
