Brazilian Root®

AI are garbage, levels are poorly designed with obviously no testing and very little thought put into how the AI and environment interact. There are points where AI can fire through objects that cannot be seen through like ferns and thick forest grass and through crushed vehicles. You die constantly in this game. With checkpoints being extremely rare and absolutely no quicksave the game is almost 3 times as long thanks to this. Also I enjoyed seeing the default CryEngine 3.8 EaaS models again as well as the terrible AI that CryTek staff warn against using. All in all I give this "game" a 2/10. The story is garbage, the AI are terrible and extremely accurate and the gunplay is extremely bland.

Note: It's worth reading the comments section back & forth I have had with the Developers, they seem commited to fixing the things I've addressed and they genuinely seem invested in creating a high quality product, I won't edit the words below, but this is more of a 50/50 Sideways Thumb review than it sounds. I did return it, but I will be watching for patch notes and will likely jump back in. - The game begins with a 1 minute multi-lingual disclaimer that you can't skip, there was enough room to put all the text in both languages on the 1 screen (which the game does at other points, but not here, no, here it was necessary to split them up for no reason; in the settings you can toggle Menu Language, but evidently they thought doubling an intros length with a language you didn't select was worthwhile) - Good intro cutscene setting up a story that is about to be ignored and you can't skip this either, then you get a black screen & an immensely long load time with no loading bar which made me think the game had crashed or didn't work at all. - You're loaded into the first level facing the opposite direction and immediately being fired upon (i guess this is where the "hardcore" begins). - The game setting up a story where you are going to search for your daughters kidnappers (but who could they be?) & then you're immediately assaulted by every gunman in the city is nonsense. - Most of the ironsights obscure the view so much making them just blind firing because it doesn't appear they are actually looking down the sight in the manner you'd need to for each weapon just putting it in the centre of the screen & where the persons eyes would need to look. - Many of the keys are active during the intro cutscene, you can fire, reload, use the ironsights and one of the keys even causes the sound to glitch out as it skipped to the newsreader talking way earlier than it should have triggered, if this audio (which isn't synced to the newsreaders lips anyway) is recorded in 2 clips, then a key is acting as a fast forward perhaps Switch Weapon, I was pressing all the buttons to try and skip the intro during my third attempt to see if it would actually load. All in all, the wait wasn't worth it; it's a linear corridor shooter that settled on the idea that "hardcore" means methodically memorising enemy spawn positions for a later playthrough and not difficult but still fun & then charged $20 for it. Environments are great & the trailer is well cut.

Dear Patria Games, have you tried launching the game before you released it? (ㆆ_ㆆ)

First of all this is an Indie Game so it has some details (that usually are very costly) that won`t match AAA titles. Other than that I really had fun with this game, its just exciting to see something like this developed in Brazil, its simple, straightfoward to action. -Pure simple FPS action -Real brazilians speaking, not that weirdo comically bad portuguese from rockstar productions / max payne - A Liam Nielson Style story recovering his daughter, possibly to be real in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. (the kidnapping, not the hero chasing the bad guys) -A cliche storyline, and who cares? Its fun, brutal and simple. -Very good graphics (at least in my opinion) As I mentioned there are some flaws tipically seen on low budget games like: -Lipsync is completely cheap when people speak -Bullet Colisions aren`t really good (sometimes the bullet should hit the target but the object you are shooting is unbreakable / has invisible edges) - There are no physics at all, so you cant move objects, break even glass windows and so it goes even with a granades... But is that all really the most important part of a simple shooter? For me not. So I`m giving this indie production a positive rating and hoping for who knows in the future a sequel. With the same graphics and a little more polishing you guys can really create something amazing.

AI is crap, enemy can shoot through trees rocks cars etc. player cannot shoot past objects unless you are well away from those objects, exposing yourself to gunfire. No way to customise keyboard commands for personal preference. I use the same key options in all FPS's but no way to select them in this game. Weapon swaps are totally crap. when picking up a weapon from the ground it doesn't automatically select that weapon. Hopefully a few updates may add some better functionality?? Not worth $9.95 as is. Disappointed!

Segundo a página do Steam é o primeiro jogo do estúdio. É realmente um jogo interessante, com uma gameplay honesta e um pouco acima do esperado. Infelizmente tem algumas falhas, principalmente pra quem está acostumado com jogos do mesmo gênero mas triple-A. Infelizmente não entra em promo faz uns anos e nem sabemos se poderá entrar em algum outro momento. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1867039529

⭐⭐ Not bad for a game made by two inexperienced devs, but there's a lot of room for improvement. It cracks me up like a cheesy action movie.

Todos começam de algum lugar, vocês por esse jogo, ainda há muito a evoluir e aprender. Mas para a primeira vez esta muito bom! Parabéns

As cutscenes sao MUITO boas Dublagem DO CARALHO Legenda em ingles MUITO BEM TRADUZIDO Jogabilidade... Pra mim pecou E pra mim acho que faltou colocar opçoes de configuraçao de graficos... tipo, urgente! Mas eu gostei

Great game! If you like old-school shooter from the 2000s like the Soldier of Fortune series you are going to like this. Very nice art style and a story like a good 80s action flick.
