Купить Basingstoke

Класная игра рекомендую!!!!

A spur-of-the-moment decision to actually use the random 75% off coupon I got from something unrelated led to me buying Basingstoke, and this was absolutely the best uninformed game purchase I have made since Rogue Legacy (clearly showing a pattern of excellent Roguelikes being impulse purchases for me). It is tragic that it is so underappreciated and virtually unknown (it is not even in the Wikipedia list of Roguelikes!). I have played dozens of Roguelikes, from Actual Rogue, to NetHack, to Angband, to Moraff's World, to ADOM, to Falcon's Eye, to Dungeons of Dredmor, to Wasted, to Dead Cells, and who knows how many more inbetween. One thing remains constant throughout my Roguelife--I never stop playing any game quite so definitively as when I stop playing a Roguelike. There is no worse feeling in gaming for me than feeling like you finally understand how the game works and making some headway only to be abruptly killed by something you have never encountered before, losing hours of progress, often with essentially nothing to show for it. Roguelikes at their worst are the intentional recreation of discovering your only save file is corrupted, with all the fury that entails. Roguelikes at their best actually understand how to dole out accomplishment so you do not feel like you are endlessly spinning your wheels and achieving functionally nothing. Basingstoke hits that balance about as perfectly as any I have ever played, thanks primarily to parceling gameplay into discrete levels, rather than forcing you to start over at the beginning when you die (though you are always able to start all over again if you wish). The first stage is so genuinely easy that if you are acting even remotely cautiously you are bound to win, yet it also teaches you a solid chunk of the skills you need to survive throughout the rest of the game. I say "a solid chunk" because later stages introduce new enemy types and new environmental hazards that are real literal game-changers and can easily result in your immediate death (as is tradition). But, again, if you die the first time you encounter the floating tentacle-eye that guards a locked gate (and you certainly will, if you are anything like me), you have learned what you need to make a better attempt next time (as is also tradition) but you only have to repeat about 10 minutes of gameplay, not, you know, six hours. And that is the single crucial difference between a fun game and a game-as-job, the latter where I place titles like Nethack or Dead Cells or most any other title that makes you start all over and often gives you nothing to show for your effort (and often mocks you by reminding you what you lost, something Basingstoke also does not do). And as for how the game actually is to play, well, it is hilarious how simultaneously cute and horrifying everything is. Watching your little bobblehead/Funko Pop!-equivalent character respond to the threats, whether by fleeing or chopping or shooting, is great. You spend most of your time fleeing at first, of course, but between the game's great assortment of loot and its delightfully fun and simple crafting system, you are provided with a surprising abundance of equipment with which to try to tackle the zombie-alien-Cthulhu menace. The first time I finally built myself a gun it was a revelation, and then the first time I actually found a much better gun in the world it was an equal revelation (then, by the time I reached the final "real" level, even my submachine gun was mostly unused), but even while desperately searching for things you might normally process as weapons, you can find an abundance of other items that can be creatively used to escape or elude creatures, from kebabs to hairspray. The end result of the huge assortment of interactive elements in the world and usable objects in your inventory can certainly produce results you might call "emergent gameplay," or at least I will never forget the time I discovered shooting a police car's lights resulted in electricity arcing through my pursuing horde, resulting in one of them being snatched up by a nearby tentacle monster as others were electrocuted. Basingstoke is full of pure fun gameplay moments like this, and with the exception of the one aforementioned level where two new challenges were paired (floating tentacle-eye and locked gate) the difficulty increases always feel fun rather than harsh. Plus, if I had realized how creative you can get (I was near the end of the game before I accidentally blew up a locked door, and cursed what might have been in earlier levels), things would have been even more enjoyable. It is definitely a shame that this game is so overlooked.

Игра Basingstoke - это смесь рогалика, стелса, экшена, действия которой разворачиваются в мире воскресших мертвецов и другой нечисти. Особенности игры: - Игра по началу довольно сложная. - На данный момент в игре 12 уровней, дальше начинается бесконечный режим. - Смерть наступает от одного удара, и начинай уровень заново. - Жуткие монстры и каверзные ловушки будут подстерегать вас на каждом углу. - Стелс в игре довольно качественный. Сзади монстры вас не видят, можно подкрасться и дать по макушке. В темноте монстры плохо видят, но зато они хорошо слышат. - Уровни и предметы генерируются случайным образом. - Переходя с одного уровня на другой, вы можете взять с собой столько предметов, сколько слотов в вашем инвентаре, остальное пропадёт. Чемодан дающий дополнительный слот есть на каждом уровне, нужно его найти. - Из предметов можно создавать вещи, оружия, напитки, примочки для оружия и даже селфи палку. Плохо только, что рецепты видны, только когда у вас есть нужные ингредиенты. Игра очень увлекательная. К тому же она по обещаниям разработчиков будет улучшаться.

It's a fun little $3 game. The store price is $30? Yea, don't pay full price, it's not that great. I got this with a 90% off coupon (from making badges) and I can squeeze $3 worth of fun out of it, but I'd have refunded it within the first 2 hours if I'd paid full price. The graphics are simplistic, the music/sound is adequate but nothing special. The game play is pretty straight forward, move your blocky person through smashed up areas collecting junk and avoiding blocky zombies, eventually killing blocky zombies. The crafting system is minimalist and really adds nothing other than to say it exists, the game would have been more fun if you just found the items you need instead of the parts. Crafting just adds another screen to the tedium of progress. Overall it's not a bad game, but it's a $5 or less time waster that for some reason has a $30 price tag on the store page. I'd be tempted to thumb it down for the price but I guess I'm feeling generous today.

Мне игра понравилась денег своих не стоит (я ее купил по купону который снизил ее цену до 51 руб)
