Good day!
Taequn is with you and this is my opinion about the game Red Faction: Armageddon. No, this will not be a full review, as many expected from me. Most likely, all this will be purely my opinion, the text will contain a lot of water and very little about the game itself.
To be honest with you, after finishing the game I was very perplexed on the topic: “Why is the game’s prefix name Armageddon?? After all, there is no Armageddon in the game, or even a mini-apocalypse that no one needs.“As I understand it (yes, I didn’t play Guerrill, the game somehow passed me by), the plot of Armageddon is a direct continuation of Guerrill. We play as a hard worker, Darius Mason (familiar name, yes?). Only this time we won’t have to fight against people for the independence of Mars, but save those same assholes that we seemingly shot at in the previous part. From the very beginning, Jacen makes a mistake, misses the main villain, after which there is a “big boom” from the installed explosives and Mars changes forever..
Guerrill had some kind of sandbox, while Armageddon is a standard third-person corridor shooter. During the entire game I only came to the surface two or three times and then she was some kind of… hmm… bellhop. You probably know better than I how unpleasant it is when you can at most walk around a stone from two different sides. And this is one of the biggest disadvantages of the game.
Because of our mistake, the weather turned bad on Mars, but what happens when the climate changes?? The ecosystem is also changing, as a result of which all sorts of creatures have proliferated. Only they breed, apparently, in the same way. Throughout the game I met about 10 types of creatures. During the playthrough, I quite often remembered the movie "Starship Troopers". I’m serious, I definitely saw one of the weapons in the first part of the film, I prefer to remain silent about the opponents, because the idea of the “beetles” themselves was taken from this wonderful film. But it’s up to you to decide whether it’s good or bad.
The main feature of the https://tipsportcasino.co.uk/mobile-app/ game is its excellent destruction system. Yes, I’m not exaggerating, she’s really gorgeous. You can destroy practically everything, everything and on any scale. On easy difficulty you are not required to use it, but on the highest difficulty, gravity will save your life more than once. I hope no one doubts that if you put a couple of walls on a “bug’s” head, it will be no more than a large, unwashable stain on the floor. Only, you know, gravity is such a harlot that it can help not only you, but also your opponents. After all, if you knock down the supporting supports, then no one will stop the roof from falling right on your head. Perhaps the only restrictions are the walls and roofs of the levels themselves.
Another feature is the nanoforge. With its help, you can either repair everything around, starting with the building, uploading small boxes, or destroy buildings or drive opponents into the wall. By the way, about the impalement: opponents are slammed into the wall with a sweet sound, during the game, I think I even fell in love with this sound, and blood gushing from all possible and impossible crotches. Well, besides the nanoforge we have a choice of twenty weapons. Yes, the quantity is small, but the variety is pleasing. Among the arsenal you can find rocket launchers, assault rifles, shotguns, laser launchers and other weapons with which you can destroy everything that can move. There is also the opportunity to ride a vehicle (be it an exoskeleton or a four-legged robot). Well, as for the opponents, their AI is not very developed, but, in comparison with CoD, the difference is immediately visible. "Beetles" do not get under bullets and try in every possible way to prove that they have an instinct of self-preservation.
The graphics engine produces a good picture, it’s nice to look at it. The characters are not blurry, well detailed, and when you look at their faces, you don’t want to remember the Mario generation. The beetles are drawn conscientiously, every relief (well, or whatever they have?) their muscles can be seen. And most importantly, everything is perfectly optimized, even on such a wreck as my old machine, the game ran at maximum requirements, which I was very pleased with. To be honest, I never knew how to describe graphic innovations. Well, I don’t understand anything about your smoothing, that’s how I am. So don’t blame me, gentlemen, but you can only see the quality of the graphics in the screenshots.
Conclusion:
Yes, the game got rid of the shortcomings of the previous part, but also acquired new ones. What is it called? Oh yes, the law of maintaining balance in nature. The advantages of the game include interesting shootouts, a variety of weapons, the opportunity to try yourself as the driver of a giant spider robot, the destructibility of everything. What about the minuses, this is, of course, the passage of corridors, a frankly weak plot.
As a result, we got a good shooter, with a weak plot, but interesting shootouts. Brighten up a couple of short summer nights for you.
Thank you everyone, I was with you Taequn and this is an opinion on Red Faction: Armageddon. Hope you liked it.
Happy posting to you! 😉
