Словно эта игра вылезла из аркад времен бокса 360 (брейд и винтерботтом), при этом от их анимаций и механик особого развития не получила. https://youtu.be/jkZ1RAcJER0
Excellent game. Great graphics, very interesting story!!
Love this game! I recommend anyone to get it especially when its on sale. Gameplay is amazing and I really love the ghost feature.. keep up the good work
[code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code] Altero is a beautiful and dark puzzle platformer that fans of the genre are likely to love. Altero's Tim Burton-esque art and design make the game shine in a distinct way that's likely to stick with anyone who plays it. The music has the pleasant mix of Danny Elfman's whimsicality mingled with the darker and more sinister tones. It lends the game a pleasantly unsettling atmosphere that simultaneously implies both hope and innocence, mixed with the warning that things aren't safe in the greater world. Those of you who've read any of my other reviews know that I'm a sucker for a good score, and Altero really nails it for me. The art similarly has that Corpse Bride or Nightmare Before Christmas style – the large eyes and bulbous heads that are meant to be charming, while the rest of the art is looming, dark, and stylized toward the sinister. Your character is clearly meant to show a bit of innocence in the oppressive atmosphere that surrounds him. If you're a current or former goth, scene, or spooky kid, you're probably going to appreciate this one quite a lot. The platforming itself is rather floaty, but it's generally forgiving – it's more about timing, as opposed to pixel-perfect landings, at least for the mandatory aspects of the game. The game eases you into these-your first few obstacles are just switch and lever type affairs. Eventually, however, you'll find puzzles that force you to die, either to navigate to a new spawn point via your now-free soul, or by using your ghost and a voodoo doll body to complete puzzles that would otherwise require two people. Along the way, you're encouraged to rescue souls you find, in an effort to bring you to true redemption. There's also optional harder puzzles for those of you who really enjoy the game, or who are completionists. That being said, the game isn't flawless. Like a lot of puzzle games, you're almost certain to encounter a section (or two...or more) which cause you to bang your head against the wall as you try and figure out what the game precisely is expecting you to do. The game at times reminds me of the Oddworld series – the atmosphere is outstanding, but at times, the gameplay quickly grows frustrating. Don't get me wrong; I still like the game. It just sometimes gets to be a bit much. I also encountered a couple of glitches in the game that totally prevented me from progressing, which makes me feel like there could have been a bit more QA testing going on here. The understandable use of checkpoints magnifies the glitches. I understand why we can't save anywhere here, but when I'm losing chunks of time, it's extremely frustrating. One glitch was obvious -I got stuck between a moveable block and a wall, and couldn't move. The other, however, literally prevented a pair of columns from moving when I pulled the corresponding lever. I spent quite awhile trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, or what I wasn't seeing, only to find out that it was simply a glitch. Needless to say, I stopped playing for a bit after that, because I was not having a good time. Glitches like these are borderline unforgivable for players, and it's literally why I'm not giving the game an A rating. I understand that sometimes things go wrong, but this is absolutely the one time they should NOT. Overall though, this is an easy game to recommend, so long as any potential buyers realize that they might run into a glitch here or there, and also might lose chunks of playtime because of it. This is a game with loads of character and charm, and worth your time if you enjoy puzzles in your platformers. At $20 USD, it feels like a very fair price for the obvious love that's gone into the game, and Altero is definitely a worthy addition to any indie gamer's library.
[h1]SHRNUTÍ[/h1] Pěkná plošinovka s výbornými hádankami, které jsou náročné, ale zvládnout se dají. + náročné hádanky + extra náročné nepovinné hádanky (duše pro achievementy) + hezká grafika a hudba + přijatelné ovládání + příběh - ukládací systém [h1]JAK SE HRAJE[/h1] Hráč ovládá VOODOO PANENKU Adi, která může přepínat páky svou vahou, mačkat tlačítka a táhnout/tlačit kamenné bloky. Panenka sice může zemřít, ale pak se zase objeví u posledního totemu, okolo kterého předtím prošla. Nebezpečí a smrt není jen překážka, ale i herní mechanika. Brzy je totiž nutné použít tuto "zbraň" v řešení hádanek. TOTEMY jsou dvojí. První, u kterého se znovu panenka objeví, a druhý, který navíc přehraje vše, co předchozí inkarnace udělala. Tento ZÁZNAM ale není duchem, ale panenkou, která opět reaguje na prostředí, takže může zemřít dříve, než předtím, může se zaseknout o překážku, která tam předtím nebyla, atp. U složitějších hádanek je nutná nejen spolupráce současné panenky s minulou, ale hned s několika minulými. Důležité je tedy PLÁNOVÁNÍ řešení a správné NAČASOVÁNÍ jednotlivých inkarnací panenky. Cestou lze osvobozovat DUŠE z kamenných soch, ale cesta k nim je nepovinnou hádankou navíc. A tyto hádanky jsou těžší na vyřešení, ale také je snadné je minout. Každá kapitola má jen dva až tři UKLÁDACÍ BODY a ukládá se do jednoho ze tří slotů, který si při spuštění hry vyberete. Není tedy možné se po zjištění minutí nepovinné duše vrátit kousek zpět, ale buď musíte kapitolu hrát od začátku, nebo se může stát, že i celou hru od začátku. Ale samozřejmě nic vás (kromě achievementů) nenutí je osvobozovat. Osvobodit všechny duše je tedy náročné, já minul jen 5 z 27 duší.
Que surpresa boa foi encontrar esse jogo! Gameplay muito legal. Meio confuso no inicio porque não explica muito como funciona, mas rapidinho vc entende. Bem legal jogo assim, que te força a pensar e não te mostra como fazer tudo. Deveria ter mais jogos assim.
J'ai trouvé le jeu très bien même si certains obstacles sont très durs à franchir, il faut faire l'énigme plusieurs fois pour comprendre toutes les actions qui doivent être faites par chaque "personnage" (la poupée vaudou et le fantôme). Au moins, ça change des jeux de puzzle ordinaires et les illustrations sont très jolies. La musique est très belle aussi.
O jogo conta com uma ambientação dark e uma trilha sonora impecável, além de uma história envolvente que te prende cada vez mais! Para os amantes de puzzle, o jogo conta com uma mecânica singular, onde temos que usar nossos próprios fantasmas para nos ajudar, nunca tinha jogado nada igual, muito bem pensado! Ainda não finalizei, mas estou adorando cada segundo.
Une idée très originale qui rend le jeu addictif ! Si vous aimez la réflexion et n'avez pas peur du try and retry, n'hésitez pas !
I really enjoyed figuring out the harder puzzles. The game has an unique mechanic that continues to challenge throughout.
