Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms

Nice old school isometric RPG. Quite enjoying it. There is a bit of a learning curve at first. Not much help online. Might be too difficult for just a "casual" gamer that just wants quick gratification in a game.

Игра прям качает. Укачивает даже местами. Блевать меня от этой херни тянет по большей части. Особенно когда проигрываешь. Первые часы я больше ничем особо и не занимался, кроме как умирал, читая тонны пафосных диалогов и нагруженного непонятной информацией текст. А текст, это просто моё почтение. Это уровень васянского перевода на пиратку. Перевод машинный, хотя, возможно использовали современные технологии, такие как индусов, потому что иначе объяснить, как и почему почти все персонажи поменяли пол в диалогах невозможно. Что творится с названиями? Часть переведена по смыслу, часть просто транскрипция, часть вообще в оригинале. Из-за чего вечно путаница, особенно в начале, когда не знаешь что как называется и где находится. И это сказывается на прохождении игры, так как множество квестов не отмечаются на карте маркером, да, надо было внимательней читать диалог. А ничё тот факт, что в половине случаев, диалог не несёт вообще никакой информации, кроме самой базовой и то если очень повезёт, типа бомже-барду нужна лютня, купи её у имперского торговца. Где он, кто он, где империя находится, это всё уже твои проблемы. И это генерирует такие шедевро названия как лошадь по имени "Зарядное устройство", дубинка "Соратники". Ужасающее божество Алалот сеет везде зло и коррупцию. А в редкие моменты диалог просто превращается в бессмысленный поток сознания из случайно подобранных, никак друг с другом не связанных слов. С другой стороны, спасибо, что хоть какой-то завезли перевод, могли бы сказать, тебе нужно ты и переводи и всё. Управление и гемплей требует привыкания. Это чисто тайминги в стиле солслайк игр. Зайдя в боевую зону ты уже не сможешь войти в инвентарь, что для меня оказалось крайне плохой новостью, так как я изнеженный казуальными диаблоидами геймер, привык пить зелья когда посчитаю нужным, а не тогда когда игра решит сжалится надо мной. Умер, весь лут в муссорку и заплати за починку шмоток и зелья, которые ты потратил - ты потратил. Большая часть миссий, это эй ты там иди сюда, принеси 50 бычьих анусов и иди нахер. После чего приходится игровую неделю шататься по лесам в поисках быков. А так же гемплей за почтальона Печкина, который особенно раскрывается в орочьем королевстве. Я обошёл его по кругу от одного города к другому раз 5 и всё ровно не закрыл все миссии. Самый лучший способ проходить это взять миссию на доставку и пойти в ближайший данж, где получишь перевес и отправляйся в нужный город для продажи барахла. Единственное но, это то, что фармить данжи не имеет смысла после первого прохождения, кроме как для прохождения квеста. В общем, эта игра легендарная, и она сосёт

O jogo traz uma excelente sensação de RPG retrô, mas com uma jogabilidade totalmente atualizada. Me lembrou muito o clássico modo RPG de Ehrgeiz, só que em larga escala. O mundo é rico em detalhes e histórias, o que torna o fator replay altíssimo, você com certeza não verá tudo jogando apenas uma vez. A variedade de monstros é ótima, mas sem a frustração de ter que decorar centenas de movimentos; em vez disso, você aprende a combater melhor organicamente enquanto joga. A sensação de evolução é excelente, refletida tanto nos equipamentos quanto no seu próprio aprendizado para lidar com o mundo e as criaturas. O sistema de armas, armaduras e habilidades é simples de evoluir, tornando cada ponto investido muito recompensador. Para fechar, os cenários são deslumbrantes e a trilha sonora é super original, casando perfeitamente com a atmosfera do jogo.

jeux vraiment bon :) je le recommande a 100%

Im not going to downvote it in such a short time, but Im not getting a very good impression from the opening moments. That combat tutorial only explained the buttons. What the hell am I looking at?!?! What are the bars, and why does health bars turn green? Whats the smashing sound when the bar turns green? Its not like Ive got a manual to look at, and I can find no explanation in game. The combat will be the make or break whether or not the game is good, and if you enjoy it or not. I am finding it lacking, but I am still very early. Ive only leveled up once, and done a single quest, so Im going to give it more time. Enemy AI seems to be appropriately difficult. Ranged characters stay back, and flee when you approach, and melee enemies approach the player, so casters and archers can remain in the back lines, pelting the player. Not bad at all. I like when they dont act like idiots The lock on leaves much to be desired, when youre facing multiple enemies. You cant tell whos blocking, unless youre locked on. How can I even look at the UI [i]and[/i] still pay attention to an enemy during combat?! The camera is very zoomed out, which I dont mind, but I cannot glance at my own health/stamina way off in the corner. I got to say, so far, I am not loving it. The combat is very VERY difficult. Mostly because you cant see very well, and the game likes to throw multiple enemies at the player. Its also very difficult to tell the enemy intention, because its so small. The map overworld is traversed, and you visit hostile and friendly areas, as well as some neutral areas. These are all very small. Cities have a few people to speak with, or services you need. Fighting arenas are just for fighting, and doing quests. I dont understand why but some of the fighting arenas, wont let you enter. There is alot to take in, during the opening 5 minutes. I very much enjoy deep lore, but choosing a race felt hollow, with no way of knowing what any of tat backstory meant. And this is just me nitpicking, but that Narrator was really bad. The microphone was too close to his mouth, and likely a low quality. It did not give a great impression. Text may be the better way to go, in this case. I really like all the different system, that add depth to the game. Too few games today offer these. The game runs great. But it should. the graphics are not very good, but theyre not offensively bad either I will update this, when Ive put more time into it. Im now trying a 2nd race, because my 2 hander Dwarf got annihilated in my very first encounter, against too many enemies to handle.

Oof, no. Combat feels awful, everything else feels sort of clunky and slow. Add to that the fact that the devs use AI for translation, a fact that had I known in advance I never would've bought the game, I really can't recommend it. No thanks. Edit: Okay, so I decided it's not fair to give no detail on exactly why I think the combat feels bad. So, here we go. The game is tagged with Souls-like, so let's compare the start of the game with Dark Souls. In Dark Souls, you start the game with a hallway with a couple of non-aggressive enemies, just to get a feel for what swinging your weapon feels like. You get your first bonfire, then likely your first death against the Asylum Demon. After a bit, you learn an important lesson: if something is too tough, sometimes you should escape and come back later. Then you get your proper starting gear and a few aggressive enemies, one at a time, and learn that enemies can have both ranged and melee attacks. In the next room, you learn that the game can have traps, but the trap leads you to your healing item, so you can heal from the damage you most likely took from the trap. You then get another solo enemy fight, and only then do you fight multiple enemies for the first time. Of note, the three enemies grouped together in this area are spread apart, two of them are around a corner further away, and one of those two is ranged and far in the back around that corner. They're not all clustered together in melee range attacking all at once. Additionally, they're all very weak, and die in 1-2 hits. Then you get your proper fight with the Asylum Demon and progress on to Firelink Shrine. Here, you have two real options, one very difficult and one much easier. The game uses difficulty to provide a strong suggestion as to where to go. Of note, the difficult path is also the one where you immediately run into large groups of melee enemies. When you take the intended path through Undead Burg, you mostly fight one at a time, with the occasional ranged enemy as a slight complication. The enemies in Undead Burg are also still weak, usually going down in 2-3 hits. Now, let's compare the opening of Alaloth. You start with tutorial guy, teaching you all of the game's basic combat at once. This is technically fine, but it's harder to absorb everything when it's thrown at you all at once, compared to Dark Souls, where your controls are explained to you slowly throughout the Asylum, so you can add them into your understanding piece by piece. This isn't the real problem, though. The real problem is when you go to the first FA. I played as a human, and went to the FA just east of the starting city, marked with 1 skull, presumably to indicate low difficulty. The very first real combat encounter of the game started as soon as I entered, and was with 3 enemies who immediately all closed into melee range and started attacking simultaneously. They also all took at least a half dozen hits each to kill, and had very little hitstun. The next encounter was with 3 more of the same enemy, and all of them immediately aggroed onto me as soon as they were on screen, giving me no opportunity to try to use my throwing knife to pull a single enemy away as was suggested by the tutorial. I ended up dying in the second fight of the game, was transported away from the FA and was told that 3 days had passed. I had been previously warned by the game when I got my first quest that some quests had time limits and could be failed if too many days passed. Now, Dark Souls has side quests too, and you can fail some of them, but do you know how many quests in the Souls series can be failed by dying? To the best of my knowledge, none of them. Not a single one. Why? Because death is already punishing enough, you don't need to add quest failure on top of it. So yes, I think the combat in the game is poor, and there are issues with it besides that. I hope this is helpful to you when developing games in the future.
