Climber Girl

As of today, the game no longer uses my translation. Instead it now uses a translation from a rare Brazilian copy of the game... which we can safely assume - based on Strategy First and their prioror actions - was sourced also without making sure whatever they have the rights or not. -- Old text -- If you are going to use my translation, you could at least fix the typos, wtf. And to be more specific - this game never had an English translation (update it technically had, we we didn't know about it until 2025 and neither did Strategy First with their original release). In 2017 I was investigating possible games to route for speedrunning - to make it easier to understand - with a help of Google Translate - I translated majority of this game to English and then manually fixed some sentences. I have uploaded the translation on Github attaching a very liberal licence, as I thought this game will forever remain an abandonware. I underestimated Strategy First and their tendency to get a hold of licences for obscure titles! What this version is is essentially a French release with a crack and my translation files - with all of the bad grammar and typos that I have made 8 years ago. Honestly quite frustrating - it doesn't break the licence I have attached, but it would still be nice to be contacted with a thanks or at least have the typos fixed by a native English speaker. As for the game - it's junk, but can be a bit of fun if you don't mind playing bad games. I wouldn't recommend it for casual playthrough normally, but with an advent of streaming games - this can be a fun title for a streamer. Otherwise, it's action adventure with overcomplicated climbing mechanics. It also might not even run on your PC properly.

I can't believe I actually finished this game. I love euro/slav jank type games or even just mediocre games, its my guilty pleasure but good lord this game was something else. This game was inspired by the movie “Climber Girl and the Last of the Seven Cradles” created by PARAMIR Film Company (2007) based on the novel “Climber Girl” by O. Sinicyn. You can't find an english version of this movie there is none but the most you need to know is it closely resembles Indiana Jones with Tomb Raider. I did find someones old blog post from 2015 reviewing the movie and it talks about it in english, the movie seems okay or passable. Let me list some clunky things first.... - The game takes 5 minutes to load when you start up - Half the sounds don't work as files are named in Russian so you have to go through files to rename them to the correct file name - It crashes constantly. Leave a level crash, load game crash, video file plays (cutscene) crash, Accidentally alt tab or hit windows the game crashes in the background you can't bring it back up. So if you crash you have to wait the long 5 minutes to start the game, I had to get my phone out while waiting between crashes while waiting ages for the game to start. - If you edit video settings or change screen resolution it'll just close the game - If you want to edit your config file in "Documents - My Games - Climber Girl" folder. The file straight up isn't there to edit. Only when I finished the entire game did it pop up in the folder so I couldn't edit the screen resolution or put it to windowed mode. So I was forced to play a set resolution and full screen. - Die and a pop-up will say "Restart Game" it closes the game or it restarts the entire level so you have to click no then load game (you have to save every bit of progress you get) Okay now for everything else that's clunky if you manage to actually play the game without it crashing, yay! - Falling through the floor as you get into the first temple level. You go down an elevator in the tomb and as soon as you take one step you fall under the map. I was confused at first looking around to see if I could skip any parts of the level (you can't) so then I reload and falling through the map gets worse, you see a blue star sky box and if you fall for 3 seconds it'll crash your game with a fatal error then you'll have to wait for the long 5 minute startup. So I spammed load save game over and over till I was safe in the first room you're suppose to be in. - Sprinting (you're always sprinting and you run out fast forcing you to sit still or walk which is very slow) you have a stamina bar for running and climbing, if it runs out you come to a full stop no jumping or moving you're literally locked in place. If you run sidesways it doesn't take stamina so you can abuse that to keep stamina for actual jumps that need it. - Walking/Crouching is incredibly slow, there are sections where the main character says maybe I can stealth this. No, no you can't stealth any section in this game because enemies walk 3-4 times faster than your walking/crouching speed. Just run to the next section and you'll be safer. - Climbing, good god the climbing. When you see a climbable wall you have to anchor each hand and foot on the wall. You have to make sure your climbing position is straight so the game knows to pull up so you can do each anchor point again (repeating till you finally get to a ledge) each anchor point can go from grey, red, yellow and green. Green means a strong hold so your character pulls up better but even with red and yellow it seemed like it didn't even matter. Climbing in this game is slow and excruciating. - Shooting (when you do get to shoot which is like 35% of the game) the bullets go wherever they like, sometimes you kill a bad guy instantly others they're bullet sponges. When you get a gun its one clip so use it wisely and pick up dead guys clips. You can only carry 3 clips per gun which there is 3 guns (Pistol, Uzi and AK47. It shows a USP on the store page and in the manual but only the enemies can use it they also have an tactical smg that you can use) if you reload to early it empties the entire clip. - Puzzles (if you can call them that, there's like 2) there is a bridge rotation puzzle that will take you 30 minutes or so because you spend your time waiting for these slow bridges/pathways rotate as the speed of a snail while you're not allowed to touch any other lever, its really bad. It has a crazy bug where if the rotated bridges land on a certain spot they'll all just vanish, gone like they never existed. I was very confused by this puzzle but by brute forcing it I got it and it was awful. - Ledges you climb down or across. If you climb down your character automatically turns around and jumps back on the ledge you just climbed off, its incredibly buggy. The best way to get off a ledge is tap back and jump at the same time two times to get away from the ledge. There's one part of the game where you climb across a ridge on the side of a building window which is slow, when you get to the part where you have to drop down on to a small ridge your character lands and walks backwards making you fall off (make sure you saved before this little climb across) - Every level plays the same, nothing changes the entire game so it becomes boring very quick especially when the same two songs play in a 20-30 second loop. I give this game a solid 2/10 its terrible to play also very short and I spent most of my time starting the game back up after a ton of crashing. The fun I did have with it was the bugs when they happened or the awful climbing mechanics bugging out, so I did get a couple of laughs out of it but that was it for positives.

Забавная игрушка, лет 20 назад было бы интереснее. Своеобразный экшн (а-ля Лара Крофт) с шкалой энергии и жизней. Нам дают пострелять из разного оружия и полазить по скалам. Лазить довольно неудобно, [strike]но думаю можно привыкнуть.[/strike] В общем, привыкнуть не получилось, приходится лезть будто со сломанными костями, руки могут застрять у нее в лице а ноги оттопыриваться в сторону будто она пытается слететь с этих стен и разбиться о землю, чтобы не продолжать мучить игрока и не мучиться самой. Помимо этого после завершения уровня нас часто встречает чёрный экран и продолжить игру невозможно, приходится перезапускать заново, поэтому если не сохранился вовремя, то это боль. Сохранения так же могут сломаться и при загрузке вы не сможете двигаться... Не рекомендую. A funny game, it would have been more interesting 20 years ago. A kind of action game with a scale of energy and lives. They let us shoot with different weapons and climb rocks. It's quite uncomfortable to climb. In general, it didn't work out to get used to it, you have to climb as if with broken bones, your hands can get stuck in her face and your legs stick out to the side, as if she is trying to fly off these walls and smash on the ground, so as not to continue tormenting the player and not torment yourself. In addition, after completing the level, we are often greeted by a black screen and it is impossible to continue the game, we have to restart it again, so if it is not saved on time, then it is a pain. The saves may also break and you won't be able to move when loading... I don't recommend it.

В это играть невозможно. Если сравнивать с томб райдером, ведь это будто бы ответ Ларке, то ранний Томб Райдер невероятно продуманная и очень играбельная игра, не зря она обрела популярность в свое время, это же кошмар и тихий ужас. Даже сравнивать нельзя, просто небо и земля. Во-первых эта игра сделана на первом сорсе. Когда крутишь камеру то на персонажа нельзя посмотреть, камера крутится вместе с ним, доступен только вид сзади. Прыжки это просто трэш, они короткие и не высокие. Да, там оптимизировали локации под них, то есть где нужно перепрыгнуть она перепрыгнет, но в целом ощущается как будто заставляешь инвалида на костылях прыгать. Небольшие препятствия она не может перейти. Приходится каждые пол метра сохраняться, потому что если ты куда-то не туда упал, то проще загрузиться, чем пройти и обратно залезть. Да и вообще постоянно сохраняешься на всякий случай, потому что страшно попасть туда откуда не выберешься. Когда она слазит с уступа, то если под тобой ещё уступ, чтобы спуститься и ты жмешь сразу вниз, то она развернется и обратно залезет. Бесит неимоверно. Приходится спрыгивать, но она сразу начинает так охать будто у нее осталось после прыжка 1хп И самая дичь это взбирание по стене. Выглядит максимально кринжово. Вначале я еле осилил первую стену на тренировке, потом более-менее приноровился, но все равно та ещё шизофрения. В принципе думаю, что не самая плохая игра, есть экспонаты и хуже, но если сравнивать с томб райдером... Ни в какие ворота. Даже самый первый томб райдер в десять раз играбельнее этого поделия. Когда запускал первую ларку ремастер ради интереса, я думал, что вот там щас будет что-то древнее и кривое, каково было мое удивление, когда в эту игру вполне себе можно даже сейчас играть, есть в ней какая-то фишка которая цепляет и это не треугольные сиськи. Тут же не цепляет совершенно ничего, хочется дропнуть, единственное почему ещё не дропнул это то, что локации быстро проходятся. Хотя что там дальше будет неизвестно, я ещё не дошел до того момента как появится оружие. Ещё управление там шибанутое какое-то. К слову видео-ролики довольно качественные, даже странно их видеть в такой игре. Лучше бы геймплейно сделали какой-то квест что ли.

While this might not be obvious, it looks like the sequense of the tutorial matters. If you do it in the wrong order the game will crash on level transistion every time, so do it in the same order as the steam trailer... Parts of the game also remains untranslated. https://i.ibb.co/5mPbLg1/Climber-Girl-19-06-2025-14-50-25.png The game also had a Central European and Brazilian release which featured Russian dub and English subtitles.

Тут Нагиев на обложке, что вам еще надо то!?

Игра не плохая,но совершенно точно кривая как половой орган после 20000 актов онанизма

Slavic Tomb Raider! And she is still hot! In a game!!!! In 2025!!!!!

I did the tutorial 3 times. Why isnt the game starting? How do i complete the tutorial? Can someone help me? I climbed up this horrible wall 3 times. This is the worst game i have seen in 35 years of being alive. Why would they allow her legs and arms come towards the camera and not stay flat against the wall? Embarrassing clownware. And if the game is not HORRIBLE enough. They put stamina that takes FOREVER to recharge so you cant even experience the horrible climbing even if you wanted to. You have to leave your pc while the stamina recharges because it takes so long these developers should not be allowed to make video games oh and the ak47 has no sound? The game has 3 guns and you couldnt even be bothered to fire them? No wonder this games broken. The tutorial is so poorly written. size 12 font comes up in the center of your screen and just says "move between the containers" but doesnt tell you to go left or right to the guns or the climbing first i did the tutorial 3 times in various ways, i cant seem to complete it and move on to the game also if you play old games widescreen stretched to 16:9, you shouldnt be allowed to post screenshots. Thats not what the game looks like. Play old games in 1440x1080 if you have a 1920x1080 monitor. Stop stretching games out. Its just not an accurate depiction of the product if you stretch it out. in my opinion its a user-modded game at that point.

ужасно. игра вылетает и не адаптирована под новые реале.
