Dreamkiller: Review
Texas publisher Aspyr Media Shitril, calling a new project Mindware Studio (authors of Addon Painkiller: Overdose) Dreamkiller. Most potential buyers have associations with the great and terrible Painkiller. The concept of the games is similar: pass the levels, simultaneously spreading to fluffs of hundreds of monsters. A kind of thoughtless “shooter” with blood puddles and pieces of severed legs-rrue, created to relax in the evening after a hard day.
Instead of a gloomy and unshaven man in Dreamkiller They offer to manage aunt psychologist with large … “guns”. She did not need weapons in order to kill unfortunate patients. Alice Drake, thanks to her paranormal abilities, knows how to penetrate the minds of people and save them from nightmares.
There is where to turn around on such soil: to create unthinkable levels, incredible enemies, cunning traps and much, much more. But the authors glued twelve nondescript locations of the corridor type and settled them in packs. Their artificial intelligence does not even allow you to get around the column in order to get to the heroine. So you need to stick out in one room for five to ten minutes, torture enemies slowly “born” from the air and yawn from boredom. There is no tenth share of the Serious Sam drive, where the enemies appeared 30-50 pieces at the same time. Run past the cannon meat will not work. The door that allows you to go to the next room is always tightly locked. But as soon as all the freaks are interrupted, it openly opens.
Not wanting to work with william hill vegas their heads, authors from Mindware Studio Actively used copy -paste. So, part of the opponents was arrogantly stolen from Painkiller. The appearance of spitens holds a given bar of quality: there are no related special effects. It remains to observe spiders falling from somewhere above, or spiders crawling straight out of nowhere, or spiders … It is strange that in the consciousnesses of different people there are the same monsters. To save the patient from fears, it is also necessary to defeat the main villain. Antagonists turned out to be extremely primitive and boring. There is no solution to Painkiller to kill them and at all. Everything comes down to the stupid “jamming”.
The developers decided to re -invent a bicycle and created supposedly original, but in fact – a confusing interface. Take a look at the screenshots and try to guess what all these “stripes” mean? But nothing else is left. Developers did not take care to explain what all this means. It seems that the authors tried to disorient the player. It turned out.
The last straw that overwhelmed the bowl of patience was a terrible soundtrack that drives crazy. He causes a sharp desire to break into the settings menu and set the value of the music volume parameter to zero. And also in Dreamkiller There is a multiplayer (try to guess the modes). But you will not be decently expressed about him.
Two traps are in wait for customers at once. The first is a name that looks like yourself know who. The second is a deceptively pleasant graphics. Do not let yourself be caught on this fishing rod. The engine is completely not optimized and mercilessly “slows down” on any configuration. Take a look at the system requirements. On the “recommended” system, the personnel meter constantly strives for the indicator of three or four per second. Even if you have not an ordinary computer at the disposal, but an “nuclear reactor”, you should not purchase Dreamkiller. There is nothing to admire. The skills of level designers were enough only to use the “Reproduce” button.
But the authors have talent. Developers from Mindware Studio We have established themselves by making a pretty good addon Painkiller: Overdose. And this time, the developers, unfortunately, were simply checked. However, it is sold Dreamkiller for the price of $ 30.
It happens, watching a bad movie or passing the game of the class “garbage”, from boredom you begin to amuse yourself with a search for mistakes and various kinds of mistakes. But today’s patient is so hopeless that there is no desire to even do it. What I really want is to delete ten data weighing ten from the hard drive (!) Gigabyt. It is difficult to believe, but this misunderstanding is worse (much worse) Necrovision – another shooter who swore to Painkiller laurels. And stumbled on the first bump.
