[b] –A– by Racing Bros (PC 2021) [/b]
Racing Bros, AKA, Anpa_US is an American in LA who is notorious for ‘Asset Flipping’. Asset Flipping is compiling together an assortment of bought unity assets with very little placement care. Arranging them into a skeletal game design and simply marketing the product as a new game using sly visual marketing techniques. Asset flippers aren’t usually trying to make a good game, they never place their real name in game credits. That way they can never be identified with their questionable product, and they usually have several throwaway mock up developer and publisher personas just in case something goes seriously awry. Their sole purpose is to grab assets/packs and bundles, change the name of such bundles and market them on steam as their own product.
Asset flipping is ok, as long as it has your own work load thoroughly mixed in with the assets and genuine effort has been made to make a good game, but rarely is this the case and definitely NEVER the case with Anpa_US.
The objective of ‘–A–‘ (pronounced Anima Katayo) is to visit 16 points of interest which have been spread around a vast alien landscape that is filled with zombies and robots. Upon arriving at a point of interest you will either be required to open a crate by pressing ‘f’ or kill a boss and his goons by either strafing right or left as you unload your bullet fire. You get your gun early in the game and press ‘I’ for inventory and then click on your gun to holster it. This is the only gun you will get in the entire game. Fortunately for you, it’s powerful and you shouldn’t need another anyway.
If you get hurt in the game and have started bleeding then you need to press ‘B’ and craft some bandages. You can’t shoot while in the crafting screen, so if an enemy approaches, you will be required to exit the crafting menu so that you can take down any enemy first. Zombies you will need to shoot in the head and robots can easily be disposed of with 2 bullets.
Regardless of the fact whether you fight a boss or open a case, they will result with the same outcome. Your next point of interest becomes available to you, showing which direction you need to travel and a sentence of a lacklustre story about zombies on this planet will continue to spittle forth.
The last 16th point of interest which will take you about 45 minutes to get too, will end with credits that say absolutely nothing about who was involved with making the game. The game unlocks 1 achievement and has a bizarre up-skirting mechanic if you press the ‘X’ button which as of yet has not had sufficient warning labels appropriately attached in accordance to Steams TOS.
In final I guess -A- really stands for asset flipping...
