Arson and Plunder: Unleashed

Flattée de faire parti des 3% de joueurs l'ayant terminé... Ce beat'em all sous forme de farce a en effet de quoi décourager. Je ne suis pas un try-harder, mais j'avoue avoir passé des heures à m'énerver dessus, à l'ancienne. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2939028149 Un humour potache et bon-enfant, des persos décalés, une écriture régressive, des situations bien chargées et une IA d'une immense bêtise sont au menu. Parfois les écrans sont tellement encombrés d'ennemis qu'on ne se voit plus. Le décor s'utilise de façon absurde (on se fait dégommer par un canon pour franchir un mur, en perdant de la précieuse vie au passage). Le boss final se révèle assez classe. Arson & Plunder est un petit jeu sympa, un de ceux qu'on lance entre 2 gros titres plus immersifs. La coop' est un plus, évidemment, si votre comparse a le courage de tenir jusqu'au bout, car bien qu'assez court, il se révèle plutôt corsé. Sens du timing, sang-froid, et endurance aux blagues lourdes seront requis poru en venir à bout. Est-il recommandable ? en fortes soldes ou sur site tiers oui ! ça reste un beat'em all médieval-fantastique à parcourir avec un(e) pote et des bières. A plein tarif, NON. Ultime farce du jeu : on vous promet un NewGame+ assorti de tout un tas de nouveautés... avant d'annoncer que c'est pour le 2... jamais sorti, bien sûr.

[h1] Rather simple beat' em up with only a few attacks to choose from and very repetitive nature. Quirky story included. At least it's not that long and somewhat playable. Visuals are ok. [/h1]

Управление жутко отстает, хитбоксы сломаны, а боевка вызывает только раздражение. Абсолютная трата времени и денег.

Jogo raro. coop local - só isso já vale ter na lista de desejo. Quanto ao game é um beat-up tradicional, andar na linha do inimigo para pode bater e muito muito esmagamento de botão. joguei sozinho; variando entre 2 personagens, uma princesa que solta fogo e o hulk medieval chapado que da porretada de marreta. com isso vamos rumando a campanha sem muitos problemas e aumentando alguns golpes. é simples e barato, compensa ter.

"Arson and Plunder: Unleashed" is a very poor attempt at creating an arcade brawler/beat 'em up (think Vendetta, Double Dragon, Golden Axe, but if they were crap even by 1990's standards). And it's bad... real bad. There's mediocre cartoony graphics, a crap story, and some of the worst gameplay to be inflicted on the old, dead, obsolete genre. The brawling, the core gameplay loop, is very shallow and repetitive... the first couple fights you have are bad... and there's nothing else to the game but endless repetition of the bad brawler mechanics. Vendetta had more depth and complexity, and that's decades older than this. Just no excuse for such poor quality and poor game design. On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort mobile apps. 3D graphics programming does require a degree of skill and competence and unfortunately not all developers have the budget or talent to deliver this, despite 3D graphics cards hitting the mainstream in the 1990's. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. There's a lot of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. So you'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written VN text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time. We're here to play games, not watch hours of garbage intersituals. The developers didn't design the game for modern gaming PCs, as such the display resolution caps out at 1080p, a very low resolution that became mainstream back in 2006 and became obsolete when 4K entered the mainstream in 2014. The game simply won't look right on modern gaming displays due to this failure on the part of the developers. The controls and game handling are notably very clunky and unsmooth here. It's janky and unsatisfying to play... and any experienced gamer will tell you, the handling, responsiveness and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed. Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing. They dropped the ball on this one. To make matters worse, there's no mouse input, despite this being sold on PC as if it were a PC game. This is unacceptable and somewhat insulting to PC gamers. It's a good demonstration of the poor attitude the developer has towards PC gamers, and this attitude has resulted in yet another defect in this game. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear why this game was never accepted on the video game console appliances it seems to have been designed for. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. "Arson and Plunder: Unleashed" has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for finishing the first (tutorial) level, trivial to achieve, but less than 7 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch. Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this only happened once, and isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show less than 7 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who didn't bother engaging with this game? Trading cards. People will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game. That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with little merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards. "Arson and Plunder: Unleashed" has the gamer gouging price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. This is also competing with over 9,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.

Genre was better in 1991 Hard to take it as a serious project. There is nothing to keep.
