DeadWire

I'm the composer and I think I did a pretty good job.

I enjoyed my time with it to a point I did most of the side objectives but don’t expect anything groundbreaking. Hacking is a little bit clunky and requires getting used to it. Sometimes it makes things interesting and fun and sometimes it’s easier and faster to ignore it and run’n’gun. When it comes to action Deadwire might look like Hotline Miami but both you and enemies have more health which makes it feel a bit different (I had GTA 2 flashbacks). On a few occasions I had a feeling that it tries to be too many things at the same time unnecessarily complicating thighs. I’ve encountered some bugs but most of them were already ironed out by the developer. The story is basic but does its job well without making things awkward. What carries the whole thing is dialogs that are well written. If you ever played a Tom Francis game you’ll get a similar vibe. And now that I’ve mentioned Tom this game reminds me a bit of Heat Signature. When it comes to sound there’s a positive review of the composer somewhere here where he says he did a good job and he didn’t lie. Music is good. Visuals have some really nice touches here and there (characters pic during dialogs, UI) but sometimes the screen gets busy and it’s hard to distinguish what can block you or bullets leading to occasional frustration on unexpected deaths. To sum it up, read what dev wrote at the end of the Steam page. The game is exactly that. It won’t land on any of my top lists but I’ll keep an eye on future things developed by Shotgun Anaconda. Good to know (no spoilers): - Game can be finished in 4-5h if you ignore the side objective. Going for side objective will double the time and time trials will extend it even more. - It’s easier to do side objectives after finishing the game. Some might be even possible only after doing so. - Only god mode blocks progression so feel free to use cheats (confirmed by developer).

Wasn't expecting to care so much about the characters and story in an action shooter thing, but it's actually quite the package! The hacking system is a great addition to the Hotline Miami style gameplay, with fun moments like frying groups of gangsters with a well-timed laser or crashing into them through a wall with a runaway car. Also, there's a dancing little ASCII emoji enjoying the bangin soundtrack alongside you at all times ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

DeadWire is a fast, stylish, and endlessly creative top-down action game that takes the best elements of tactical shooters and layers them with clever hacking mechanics. Dynamic hacking + combat... Every encounter feels fresh thanks to the ability to rewire enemies, traps, and the environment itself. Chain linking explosions, disabling cyborg gang members and turning the level scenery to your advantage feels great. I especially enjoyed hitting bikers with their own bikes! Slick retro presentation with neon lit visuals, atmospheric sound design (and INCREDIBLE SOUNDTRACK) and a sharp cyberpunk setting, DeadWire is as good to look at as it is to play, and as fantastic to listen to as it is to look at. Replay is rewarding. Levels encourage (and expect) experimentation, with side objectives, time challenges, and score chasing that reward both creativity and skill. Perfect flow of strategy + action... It strikes a great balance between planning hacks and diving into firefights but still keeping the pace exciting without feeling overwhelming. Built for players who like options... no matter if you prefer methodical stealth or all out action, DeadWire supports different playstyles and makes them all feel satisfying. DeadWire delivers a new twist on the top-down shooter formula. It’s stylish, smart, and consistently fun... a must-play for anyone who enjoys cyberpunk action with depth and likes a challenge. Highly Recommended.

I'm really enjoying the game so far. The enemies are fun to fight. They are unpredictable, deadly and there's a good variety of them. The hacking puzzles might look simple on paper, but quite a few of them made me stop and think. I know the game is mainly about hacking, but when a level has a banger soundtrack, you just can't help but go in guns blazing. Both the art and soundtrack are excellent. I'm currently on Act 2 and I highly recommend the game so far.

Great game. The linking mechanik feels really good and motivates to try out different combos. This combined with the soundtrack creates a good flow, played for an hour and it feeld like 10 minutes.

[quote] [h1]当黑客拿起枪：正义，是否真的需要亲自扣动扳机？[/h1] 《DeadWire》是由[url=https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/TheColab]The Co-Lab[/url]发行的一款俯视角黑客射击游戏。在游戏中玩家扮演的是一位黑客，因为背上了债务而加入了一个神秘组织，在里面充当能文能武的打手，打击犯罪组织。在这座光芒刺眼却黑暗盘踞的大都市中，你不再只是一个持枪的“正义执行者”——环境中的一切，都是你指尖下的武器。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3570274667 游戏过关方法有很多种，精妙走位然后突突突将敌人一锅端，虽然射击敌人打击感十足，并且还可以在关卡中捡到各种武器，如霰弹枪、突击步枪等等，但是这其实并不是本作的核心玩法。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3570274598 本作的核心在于玩家需搭配主角精湛的黑客技术，主角可以进入短暂的骇客时间，在骇客时间里会高亮可链接的人或物，你可以将一名巡逻的守卫和路边停着的悬浮车链接起来，下一秒，击倒守卫的瞬间，车子也会猛然暴冲，撞飞一群敌人，如同推倒多米诺骨牌一般，连锁反应瞬间撕裂战场；或者是将电视打开吸引敌人注意，然后绕到他的视野盲区给他致命一击，结束他这罪恶的一生。这种“借力打力”的玩法不仅聪明，还充满变数，炸药桶、ATM机、激光陷阱……统统都能被你“转码”成致命杀器。 尤其值得夸赞的是本作的电子合成配乐，低频震颤、节奏凌厉，完美呼应着你每一次黑客启动与爆炸的瞬间。再配合流畅且爽快的玩法，打起来颇有几分热血沸腾的节奏感。 你之所以投身这场战争，不是为了虚无的大义，而是为了那个曾经抚养你的儿童院。这种略带私仇与温情的动机，让这场高科技大战多了一层值得咀嚼的情感底色，不过可惜的是，本作不支持中文，想要完全领略游戏剧情，还是需要一定英语基础。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3570274420 游戏有Boss战，机制也会与你的黑客系统挂钩，比如第一关Boss，会有二阶段，二阶段会穿上黄色防弹服，需要玩家利用黑客将杂兵与其相连，然后打掉杂兵破坏掉他的防弹服，再将其击败。 如果你想要一款能“用脑子打架”的快节奏动作游戏，并且有一定英语基础，《DeadWire》绝对值得你游玩——它不仅让你开枪，更教你如何让整个城市替你开枪。 [quote] 游玩百态，将游玩心得用汉语化作玩家的指明灯，(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402408/]点击这里关注汉化语录~[/url] 如果喜欢这个评测，请点个赞让更多人看见 [/quote] [/quote]
