Breaking Bones

Even for an Early Access game, this really has no value. It needs a huge upgrade to the combat to make it relevant in any way. Every level is the same "fight countless waves of enemies by clicking repeatedly". There is no depth at this point and really didn't find any enjoyment. Here is a quick video I put together talking about pretty much everything the game has to offer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vUeA-YFOLE&feature=youtu.be

Breaking Bones by Duplicator Studio is a simple Smash-em till the counter stops action game. There is no prize in guessing that this can get tedious very quickly, Those who where bright (or stupid) enough to buy the original ‘Beach Head’ will attest that hoards of enemy rushing at you all day every day does not make it a (fun) game (Some how they manage a second game for the series before the inept realised their folly). The short sweet intro story is this. Portals have opened around your medieval world and hoards of skeletons are pouring out, devastating the land. Your King summons you, the only knight (baffoon) who is brave (stupid) enough to save the kingdom (cesspit). You are so brave the first zone you come to, you throw your sword and shield into a lake at the far end of the map and cower in a hut, waiting for the hoard to pop out of lovely blue orbs. At hand is an Iron sword, a bag of arrows (no Bow) and a key to a cage outside that has a husky/wolf inside. Once you grab key and sword, you let Bozo the dog out and he will help defend you (dogs just love bones you know). Game play is passable but not the best, as the skeletons approach you start to swing away but there is no area damage done with any of the weapons (you are swinging a big axe and hammer at times), in fact you must keep your cross-hairs on the enemy or it is not counted as a hit, making this harder than what it needs to be. You do get three health elixirs in the first zone but they do very little in bumping back your health. Their is no inventory so don’t grab the bottles right away because you are actually sculling them, not storing them. There is also a catapult to use but this is a one chance wonder, because after your first shot (if it hits anything) it takes too long to load again before you are forced to fight one-on-one. Plus the catapult can not be moved (turned left or right) so you can only shot enemy who are right in front of where it is sitting. In between waves of enemy you can try and retrieve your sword and shield but in the end I gave up on it because the sword was worse than the iron sword you start with (weapons dropped are better) and the shield was only slightly better than blocking with a weapon. In the end the game feels locked in hard setting, where a medium setting would be nice (or at least a few more health elixirs). Game graphics is ok but feels dated. Movement is crisp but walking through a door requires you to jump through instead. Killing enemy also leaves lots of bones cluttering up everywhere which starts to drop frame rates plus blocks hits to enemy. There is no music except at the intro screen and it is just a looping track. Option menu is a pop-up before the game starts and is mostly limited to Graphic Card settings and Key bindings (no such option menu in-game). If you like the cheap thrills of just bashing things to death then Breaking Bones is for you. I’m not saying B.B. is a bad game but Duplicator Studio needs to add a story, some more game tweaks and bolster the fighting system and you might have a half decent game, outside of that it’s just another grind-feast like Beach Head.

꼭 사세요 5500원에 정말 해골들과 싸움터에있는 느낌을 받을수있습니다 흡사 완벽한 사운드와 타격감은 현재 나온게임으로도 거의 따라잡을수가없는 독보적인 게임이 아닐까 싶습니다. 550만원에 팔아도.. 저는 .. 살거같아요..

Очередная арена, сделаная на Юнити. https://youtu.be/rfSxgN8GHjk На первой локации вам нужно будет защищаться от скелетов. Есть разнообразие в оружии: меч, молот, лук, катапульта (по моему бесполезная). Так же у вас есть друг помощник - волк, которой практически вам не помогает, так для интеръера бегает. Небольшое разнообразие врагов, по крайней мере на первой локации, я встретил там: обычные скелеты, золотые и гиганские. Возможно на других локациях есть другие враги, но в игре не указано как их открыть, и через час игры мне просто наскучило водить по кругу скелетов и мочить их по одному. Графика в игре красивая, музыкальное сопровождение отсутствует, нет достижений и коллекционных карт. По моему мнению над игрой еще нужно работать!

"Catapult" and "Wolf" are my favorite features in a game since "RED CAR". Other than that, this is completely god awful.

a first person hack and slash where you survive waves of enemies using pet companions, bows, swords, and hammers. a decent enough game to fiddle with for a few evenings, thankfully the price reflects that. my day 1 video review here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD3ob2eVLe8

O que dizer de Breaking Bones? Eu entrei nesse jogo esperando apenas passar o tempo. Queria algo simples, direto, um passatempo despretensioso. Mas Breaking Bones me entregou algo completamente diferente — algo que, de forma inesperada, mexeu comigo em um nível que poucos jogos ou experiências conseguiram. Ao contrário do que muitos pensam, Breaking Bones não é só um hack and slash com esqueletos. Por trás da aparência indie e da ação crua, há um sistema de combate com surpreendente complexidade. Você não sobrevive só batendo. É preciso entender o ritmo do inimigo, pensar, respirar fundo, observar. Cada luta é quase um ritual, e vencer exige mais do que reflexo: exige presença. Mas o que realmente marcou minha experiência foi uma frase dita dentro do jogo. Um inimigo, no meio do campo de batalha, grita com uma voz seca e imponente: "Hora de quebrar os ossos." Naquele instante, por algum motivo que nem consigo explicar direito, algo mudou em mim. A frase me atravessou. Era como se não fosse apenas sobre o jogo — era um chamado para encarar as partes quebradas dentro de mim, os medos, as limitações, os traumas. Era hora de quebrar meus próprios ossos, no sentido simbólico: largar o que já não serve, enfrentar o que me paralisa. A partir dali, cada combate virou um espelho. Cada inimigo, uma metáfora. O lobo que você liberta em cada fase passou a representar algo maior: a força interior que está presa e que, quando solta, te ajuda a enfrentar o caos do mundo. Breaking Bones me ofereceu mais do que diversão. Me ofereceu uma jornada — não só entre desertos e florestas digitais, mas dentro de mim. Se você permitir, esse jogo pode ser mais do que pixels na tela. Pode ser um chamado. Um rito. Uma quebra necessária.

Damn Son

This game really rattled my bones.
