Alternativa is a story that will take you to a world much different to what you'd expect in 2045. To a world destroyed by war and revolutions, a world led by an oppressive and cruel dictatorship. Classic point&click adventure game based on the original sci-fi/cyber-punk script which is composed of a number of shorter stories that...

[h1] Hat diese Zukunft eine Alternative? [/h1] [b] Vorwort: [/b] Wieder mal ein Spiel bei dem ich zur Bewertung dringend einen Daumen zur Seite benötige. Es gibt zu viele Grautöne, als dass ich eine Schwarz-Weiß-Entscheidung treffen könnte. Es ist ein mittelmäßiges Point & Click Adventure mit diversen Schwächen. Ob es den Spieler dann doch passabel unterhalten kann, ist wie so oft einfach eine Geschmacksfrage... [b] Geschichte: [/b] Es ist 2045. Die Welt und die Menschen haben den 3. Weltkrieg überstanden. Das Weltgefügte ist aber ein anderes geworden. Die Länder und Nationen wie wir sie einst kannten, sind nur noch ein Schatten ihrer Vergangenheit. Es gibt nur noch einen weltweit umspannenden Staat. Allerdings ist der Staat nicht die einzige Machtinstanz. Großer Einfluss geht von den beiden mächtigsten Weltkonzeren aus. Zwischen den 3 Parteien herrschen Spannungen und es werden unterschiedliche Ziele verfolgt. Spionage und Kontrolle gehört zum Alltag. Es existiert eine Drei-Klassen-Gesellschaft. Wir spielen Richard, der in den Indrustrie-Slums für den Endora–Konzern arbeitet. Wir werden unvermittelt in einen kleinen Prolog hineingeworfen. Richards ID-Karte wird von Androiden konfisziert, da er von Endora entlassen wurde. Im Anschluss kommt ein Intro und dann geht die Geschichte richtig los. Schon bald möchte sich Richard dem Widerstand anschließen... Die Geschichte hat interessante Ansätze. Die Story will aber insgesamt zu viel und bekommt nicht alle Ansätze vernünftig hintereinander. Da wurde leider Potential verschenkt. Leider handelt es sich hier mal wieder um ein Adventure mit einem abrupten und offenen Ende, was den Spieler mit mehr Fragen als Antworten zurücklässt. [b] Grafik und Ton: [/b] Die Grafik ist eine mittelmäßige 2,5 D Grafik. 2D-Hintergründe und eher suboptimal animierte Charaktere. Wer als Adventure-Fan keine allzu hohen Anforderungen an die Optik stellt, kann die Grafik sicher akzeptieren. Hier bietet Steam mal wieder keine deutsche Sprachausgabe, obwohl es das Spiel mit deutscher Sprachausgabe gibt. Ich empfehle den Deutsch-Patch von Compiware herunterzuladen und zu installieren. Trotz des Patches werden manche Sätze auf englisch gesprochen. Die Sprachausgabe wirkt wie die Geschichte und Grafik mittelmäßig. Trotzdem bin ich froh, dass es eine deutsche Vertonung gibt. Die Dialoge haben allerdings ihre Schwächen und sind oftmals nicht besonders gelungen geschrieben. Das die Charaktere auch gerne mal fluchen, macht die Dialog-Qualität nicht gerade besser. [b] Spielmechanik und Rätseldesigne: [/b] Wie bei Point & Click Adventures üblich wird mit der Maus gesteuert. Dabei fällt die Steuerung weder besonders positiv noch negativ auf. Sie ist zweckdienlich. Eine Hotspotanzeige oder ein internes Hilfesystem gibt es nicht. Das Rätseldesign ist auch eher mittelprächtig, aber ich fand das Spiel relativ gut lösbar. Wer eine Lösungshilfe benötigt, findet im Internet Komplettlösungen. [b] Spielumfang und Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: [/b] Die Spielzeit ist mit ca. 8 bis 10 Stunden recht passabel. Die Zeit reicht allerdings nicht aus, um die Geschichte zu einem vernünftigen Abschuss zu bringen. Alles schreit nach Fortsetzung, die es vermutlich nie geben wird. Den regulären Preis von 9,99 € würde ich nicht investieren und lieber einen guten Sale abwarten, sofern dieses Science-Fiction Setting für einen interessant erscheint. [b] Fazit: [/b] Leider nicht so stark wie die “Memento Mori – Spiele" vom Entwickler Centauri Production.

Wer sich mit oben genannten Schwächen arrangieren kann, könnte mit “AlternativA” eine passable Unterhaltung finden. 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑 [list] [*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url] [*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url] [*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow Third group [/url][/list] and discover more reviews from me.
Alternativa é um point-and-click com temática cyberpunk ambientado em 2045, quando o mundo inteiro é governador por uma ditadura que não se importa nem um pouco com seus governados, de forma que as duas grandes corporações existentes fazem o que bem querem da população. Não existe mais a ideia de dinheiro ou documentos emitidos pelo governo, sendo que são as próprias empresas que fornecem aos seus funcionários uma espécie de cartão magnético, que serve para identificação civil e para realizar transações financeiras. Não raro pessoas são demitidas sem qualquer motivo e, portanto, têm os seus cartões confiscados, o que na prática significa que são condenados a viver como miseráveis a margem da sociedade e considerados cidadãos de segunda classe. É justamente isso o que ocorre com o protagonista Richard, que após perder seu emprego, busca se juntar à Resistência para encontrar uma forma de sobreviver em meio ao caos, ou quem sabe, até derrubar o poder vigente. Apesar da falta de originalidade, a história começa bem, com um ar de conspiração e personagens interessantes. Porém, com o avanço da trama, as coisas vão se tornando muito corridas e sem o devido embasamento, culminando em um final pouco explicativo que é decepcionante para dizer o mínimo. Os puzzles são intuitivos na maioria das vezes, mas tem o problema de precisarem ser resolvidos na exata ordem que foram imaginados pelo desenvolvedor, sendo que as vezes o jogo te impede de fazer algo óbvio simplesmente porque você ainda não conversou com a pessoa que deveria te informar a respeito daquilo. Um belo exemplo é a fase que se passa na casa do Professor Petrenko, onde é necessário abrir o cofre, mas mesmo sabendo a senha, você só consegue interagir com ele se acariciar uma gata que fica no beco antes de entrar no apartamento, especificamente, pela segunda vez que você passar por lá (dá primeira vez a gata vai estar arisca). Mais adiante no jogo, há uma fase ambientada no Brasil e os nativos falam boa parte das frases em português, mas a dublagem é tão porcamente implementada que é de se imaginar que foi feita por pessoas que não compreendem a língua ou, no máximo, tem uma compreensão muito básica. Muitas das frases não tem sentido algum e as expressões usadas são tão inadequadas que parecem terem sido feitas num tradutor automático. De forma geral, podemos dizer que Alternativa é um jogo que carece de falta de planejamento por parte de seus criadores. O início é legal, a gameplay é divertida, apesar da linearidade excessiva, mas parece que eles simplesmente levaram a história a um ponto de onde não souberam sair, deixando muita coisa sem resposta e uma sensação amarga para o jogador que esperava ver o desfecho da trama. FRACO (5/10).
4/10 Didn't finish the game. It crashed and I wasn't bothered to repeat the 20min of the lost gaming. Most of the cast can't act to safe their life. The story is mediocre at best. Dialog... clearly written by a person with English as a second language. It's not that bad but very noticeable.
没中文的点击冒险游戏!居然是未来科幻类别的! 可惜操作提示真的很不友好···而且修改分辨率会闪退···
One of the most depressing games I've ever played, and then, when I thought this couldn't get any worse... the ending ended up being the biggest rotten cherry on top of this messed up cake. Ugh!
If you know what you're doing, you could probably see every piece of content in this game in about an hour, which is the superior way to play, honestly. This is a solid adventure game...'s first act that will never be continued because Centauri Production doesn't exist anymore. The plot is more concerned with setting up a world we will never see again than telling a compelling story, like first acts often are...but for a solo game...no. This whole thing is just sad. They clearly had a plan for further episodes, they had a whole world thought up with some really cool potential, and they put some good money into the production...but it wasn't to be. Indi devs, PLEASE consider revisiting this setting. There are some really good stories to be told here! ...just don't make us personally type names into computers. We aren't going to remember the name of the doctor a fictional character was framed for murdering in a video game.
Though the end did not convince most, and I would have wished for a bit more as well, I loved the game. The story took me in from the beginning: the game creates an atmosphere of hopelessness but at the same time there is the spark of revolt, personified in our protagonist. The end is more or less open for me, as I believe, the two will not have given up. and I recommend this game !
A GOOD GAME THAT MAKES YOU THINK A LOT TO KEEP TROUGH
平凡なゲームで、いまいち盛り上がりに欠ける。でも、ギリギリ楽しめたから一応おすすめはできるかな。
[b]You can find the walkthrough on YouTube: 31SilentGaming[/b] [url= www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQjBzRK72bg&list=PLGc-CDDbqrW5kLW3uPqrIIBhoZw2mcDGF] Click here for watching Part I [/url] [b]Did I enjoy playing this game?[/b] Yes, I did. I really enjoyed the graphics, most of the storyline. I liked the puzzles even if sometimes they were hard or counterintuitive. [b]Why then a negative review?[/b] Simple. It is not due to the bugs that crashed the game-play 3 times, it is because [spoiler] for the whole game you try to accomplish your goal, [/spoiler] and do you know how the game ends? [spoiler] You discover everything, but you can do nothing about it! You did not make even a very small difference! Even worse than Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark! Exactly like Indiana Jones has no effect on the outcome of Raiders of the Lost Ark, you make no difference in changing the fate of the world. Ok, ok, ok. I can already hear somebody arguing that it is the journey and the discovery of the personal story of the main character that should count. I can agree with that if the end would not be a slap in the face and could give at least a hint of hope for the future, if it explains what happens after or if they try to suggest that they are going to create AlternativA 2 in spite of the fact that it does not exist.[/spoiler]
