CONSCRIPT: Director’s Cut

my bad for getting the game during the summer sale. 10/10

Actually I really enjoyed it. My expectations were OK and I finally got to make a bond with the game. The graphics are ok of course, but do not subestimate that!

非常优秀的资源管理类反战游戏，精致的像素艺术、不错的场景叙事和关卡设计，就是跑图实在是太慢了，玩起来感觉很拖沓。 提示：导演剪辑版在苏维要塞的床上加了回顾梦境的功能，好评。 吐槽： 1、主角简直就是法兰西超人，一人成军； 2、法军战壕和要塞里全是类生化游戏特有的与背景完全无关的解谜，不过设计的很好； 3、类生化特有的无处不在的商人，身为士兵却私藏军火，趁火打劫，难怪节节败退。

another banger aboslute cinema from team17 at this point im buying all their games wth (good thing tho (i have shellshock now))

In a subgenre like this, the classic survival-shooter where you use what resources you can scrounge up to solve puzzles and progress, this felt like a breath of fresh air. Not to say I was exhausted with this type of game, but Conscript plays out in a way I was pleasantly surprised with. Having grotesque monsters and some underlying theme of horrors beyond comprehension seems par for the course for these types of games (RE series, Crow Country, Amnesia: The Bunker, etc.) and I admit all throughout chapter 1 I was waiting for the needle drop when it would be revealed that I'd be facing mutants or demons or something like that after fighting these regular german soldiers. When I ended up not, I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of constructing an alternate reality where our character's enemies had access to some cosmic force beyond humanity, Jordan Mochi has us fighting a straightforward war, and in that we feel the fear, the horror, the stakes in the formless slaughter of man against man that can already be found in the darkest pits of our humanity. By doing so, reinforcing his own themes surrounding war, in how there are no winners, only those that remain. What else is there to say? It's simple yet satisfying with everything I'd want out of a survival horror. Will be replaying in the future.

I love the atmosphere of survival horror games but totally sucked at them. Conscript's gameplay is classic survival horror, sluggish movement, managing limited supplies and go back and forth to find solutions for puzzles or to open doors to progress etc. There's a twist, instead of zombies or mutated abominations, your going against the most horifying enemies...soldiers of the other side and rats. Conscript really captures the atmosphere of WW1 and at times I feel like an actual...conscript on the frontlines. It can get really grindy and there's really lots of backtracking (thank goodness I am used to Metroidvanias or I go crazy). The GBA like graphics is also a treat for me. Overall, had a relatively fun experience despite not being used to survival horror mechanics. This and Amnesia the Bunker (another game I sucked at) are the best at capturing the horrors of WWI. 8/10

There are very few games that allow you to experience the abject horror of fighting at the front lines during WW1. Well done Jordan.

Una obra maestra, lo diré así de claro. El juego me parece excelente de principio a fin y lo he disfrutado muchísimo. Por: La dificultad está muy bien balanceada; lo jugué en dificultad soldado, que es la que el juego recomienda, y no es un paseo, pero tampoco es frustrante nunca. La variedad de enemigos, peligros y tal es satisfactoria y muy coherente con la estética del juego. La historia me ha gustado bastante porque es simple y encaja a la perfección con el juego. Los puzles son entretenidos y me gusta mucho que fomenten la exploración y la lectura de los documentos. La progresión está superbién hecha. La ambientación es excelente a más no poder. En su apartado visual, destaco la claridad con la que se ven todas las cosas y, en general, me gusta mucho cómo se ve este juego. El diseño de niveles es increíble, 10/10. Un survival horror excelente; lo recomiendo totalmente a quienes gusten de este tipo de jugabilidad.
