Dawn of the Mexica

Finally got a warrior rolling, unforgiving at times, but the times are great.

Ну просто лучшая реализация стелса в рогаликах (механика игры от света, звука, запаха), уникальная система повреждений на основе критов (которых более 1000 по словам разработчика, с различными эффектами типа ослепления, оглушения, потери руки, сломанных рёбер, перерезанной шеи и тд), крутая механика усталости, классы персонажей, способные полностью поменять геймплей (а также кучи навыков), аутентичное вооружение (древние мечи, древняя копьеметалка (атлатль), обсидиановые ножи, ядовитые дротики и тд), плюс сама по себе игра весьма тактична и ооочень атмосферна. Из минусов линейность (хотя этапы довольно обширны и простор для тактики не ограничен). Сам я еще ее не прошел и открыл только половину классов персонажей за 22ч. Игра очень хардкорна и жестока, но наказывает обычно за ошибки, поэтому это ей только в плюс 11 украденных енотом грибов из 10

Hard, but good

Good

Dawn of the Mexica es un 'roguelike' de corte tradicional que, si bien consigue marcar todas las casillas de lo que el buen representante del género debe ser, tiene un 'pero' muy importante: la transparencia. Los 'roguelikes' no necesitan explicar el funcionamiento de todos y cada uno de sus mecanismos internos, pero sí deben proporcionar suficiente información como para que las muertes (que como debe ser, son frecuentes) no parezcan aleatorias. Y si algo no hace el juego, es dar información. Pulsando F1 puedes ver un breve resumen de los que hacen las habilidades... pero ni siquiera están todas listadas. Las armas y armaduras no tienen información de ningún tipo. Algunas armas 'mágicas', además, ofrecen bonificadores (de +10, por ejemplo), pero no se sabe a qué se aplica este bonificador, ni si el bonificador es alto o bajo. Hay una acción, apuntar, que en teoría es recomendable hacer antes de disparar, que no se sabe qué efecto mecánica tiene. Ni siquiera sé entre qué parámetros se mueven los atributos principales, porque al principio pensaba que iban del 1 al 10, pero es habitual tener algún atributo en 10 + un decimal. Con todo esto lo que quiero decir es que al juego le vendría muy bien algo tan sencillo como un manual. Quizá un poco más de 'feedback' también. Pero principalmente un manual.

The game is excellent, is a well-made Rogue-like with interesting mechanics. The game mechanics work fairly good, is complex but not overwhelmed, the game definitely has more potential. It looks like the developer knows exactly what he was doing, and what a game "like-Rogue" is. Unfortunately, the game needs more development and balance (overall maturity). Although the mouse is supported, I play only with the keyboard, same for all the Rogue-like games, Dawn of Mexica is not an exception. To me, key controls are intuitive and easy. To unlock new classes is fairly easy, just play and experiment with different items, skills and new classes. Like-[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1443430/Rogue/]Rogue[/url] games, aka Rogue-like, are strategy/exploration games, you need planning/thinking, and you need to be tactical during the combat. [b]Tip 1[/b]: Do the tutorial and read all the messages during the tutorial (Duh!). Before buying the game, I watched a moron on YouTube losing like 10 or more times in the tutorial, they guy didn't have a clue how to play. [b]Tip 2[/b]: Read the in-game help (F1) and read [url=https://dawnofthemexica.com/tipstricks]Tips & Tricks[/url] [b]Tip 3[/b]: Read the message log during the game! [b]Tip 4[/b]: Don't be afraid to try, and experiment something new. [b]Tip 5[/b]: Explore at your own pace, and discover the game. You don't need to rush and finish the game. If you still have too much trouble playing and need help, ask on the steam forum or go to the official discord. [b]Spoiler Alert![/b] [spoiler]Dawn of Mexica has a variety of survival elements like food, drink water, hot, burn, cold and freeze. Difference resistance you need to manage Fire, Poison, Magic, etc. Different types of physical damage and enough skills to build your character. Dawn of Mexica has different systems you need to be aware of: Noise, Smell, Light/Dark, etc. With a variety of enemies and unique enemies.[/spoiler] The game has a unique combat system, you need to understand the mechanics and read the in game help/tutorial. Sure, the game needs QoL here and there, but it's not really that daunting. For a Fighter, you need to rest to have stamina, for a Mage you need to meditate before casting a spell. If you have an issue with the resolution, just lower the resolution. Dawn of Mexica needs to release a new update to balance the game overall, including the combat system. Include a better manual with more details on how the damage is calculated and how it affects every skill to the character stats. [b]QoL required:[/b] - Run straight is needed it. Stop if in the sight is an enemy or item - Probably no need for auto-explore, but may help. - Combine the "resting systems". One button should be enough to recover health, stamina, and mana. The meditation from my POV should be included it here, if the Mage stands still. - Wait and Meditate should be one button. - Customizable keys to have a hotkey for bandage, torch and some other common actions - Allow swapping weapons, to help during the combat and swap between bow and sword - Keys customizable for magic to rapid cast a spell. To avoid press m-a-b-c - The numpad should be fully customizable, allowing to use the whole numpad, not only the numbers. [b]Bug:[/b] - I only had one, where my character complete stopped moving. I need to create a new game. Despite the issues, I would recommend it.

Challenging and beautiful, my only desire is for a pronunciation key; less than 300 MB installed

Hard AF, wonderful challenge level. Interesting story if you are skillful enough to actually get to play through it.

Nada positivo que resaltar.

Excellent game and very well researched Mesoamerican theme/mythology. Surprisingly complex and unique. I would highly recommend for anyone who played Rogue of old and/or enjoys the rogue-like crawlers of today. I will say I hate it when the dogs die though. That just upsets me.
