DeathMetal

so i purchased this game on sale for $0.99. i have since beat the game and acquired all but 2 achievements for it. i' m running it on an old hp laptop with an i5-2410 (built in intel 3000 graphics) so very weak graphically and it stays capped at 60 fps on the 1366x768 resolution screen. any pc with a graphics card or apu would have issues making this game run bad. my favorite thing about this game is that there are 0 microtransactions, dlc, loot boxes, or any other nonsense that other modern games are full of, your paying for the complete game! the game is very simple to understand but difficult to master. the campaign is a little short, but the level maps and lighting work perfectly to create challenges that feel skill based not luck based. i would like to see some more maps added in the future or maybe a map editor to allow the community to make their own maps. the music is awesome, but i might be biased as i'm a metal head. game is super simple, fun, and just a casual time waster that if you dont own you should remedy that asap!

ОЦЕНКА: 3 / 5 Стильный арканоид. Сложный местами, но короткий. Многое решает рандом. У меня на древнем телефоне java-арканоид гораздо интереснее.

Disappointingly short. I finished the game in less than 2 hours. Also, it doesn't save your progress if you leave mid-episode. You have to redo the whole episode again. Too bad. I really like arkanoid, but this one falls very short. Don't bother with it unless it cost you cents on sale. Very cool sountrack though.

DeathMetal is a Break-Out/Arkanoid arcade game where you bounce a ball off a paddle and destroy blocks by hitting them with the ball. When all the blocks are destroyed, the level is over. Pick up bonuses (like extra balls) and dodge penalties (make the balls smaller and harder to manage etc) as they drop randomly from the blocks you destroy. Overall this game is kind of okay with a few twists (like the walls aren't smooth and there's some moving wall segments that add some challenge), but you don't get any "control" over the ball by hitting at the right spots on the paddle. Also, the ball speeds up, frustratingly, removing a sense of control from the player as it exchanges skill for frantic twitch reflexes. It's just not quite good enough for me to recommend, especially with some of the frustrating mechanics.

Easy, short, boring.

The soundtrack just does it for me.

DeathMetal is an arcade-style brick-breaker game that differentiates itself from others of the genre with its heavy metal soundtrack and challenging difficulty. The game features 40 levels across four episode sets and boasts real-time physics and visual effects. One of the strengths of DeathMetal is its use of heavy metal guitar riffs that enhance the overall atmosphere of the game. The game's difficulty level is also challenging, which will appeal to players who enjoy old-school arkanoid-style games. Additionally, the game features 11 different power-ups that add variety to the gameplay. The game's level design is well thought out and offer a good challenge to player, also the graphics and visual effects are pretty decent and add to the game's overall atmosphere. The achievements and trading cards will keep the player engaged. Overall, DeathMetal is a well-executed brick-breaker game that stands out with its heavy metal soundtrack and challenging difficulty. It will appeal to fans of the genre and those who enjoy a good challenge but some players may find it too hard.

Я не могу рекомендовать данный арканойд. Дело в том, что он ужасен в самом главном - в игровом процессе. Коллизии считаются крайне плохо, платформа убогая, углы принятия/отбивания шара дурацкие. Это начинает напрягать очень быстро. А ведь могло быть интересно, да вот не получилось. Из плюсов разве что наличие ачивок не самых сложных (хотя мне, честно, очень не охота добивать последние пару штук, но я добью, когда-нить) ну и карточки. Но брать только сильно дешевле предлагаемой цены.

Skvělá odreagovačka za pár kaček. Arkanoid s DeathMetal hudbou. Nevýhody: -Nenadchne to popíkové a rapové sráče xD
