About
The prologue to Deserter is a free, standalone chapter that introduces you to the bleak world of the main story.
You are John Holden, a soldier broken by endless bloodshed and lies — witness to something that can’t be unseen. With no way back, there’s only one option left: escape.
Time is short. Each night is a chance to prepare, but every misstep brings you closer to death on the front lines. Evade the night patrols, steal supplies, craft tools, and strike secret deals with fellow soldiers. Can you make it out unnoticed? Or will you vanish in someone else’s war?
A unique blend of stealth and RPG genres
Stealth, deception, thievery, and careful planning instead of direct combat
Atmospheric, detail-rich locations set on the front lines and inside a military camp
Multiple escape routes with distinct challenges and consequences
A grim dystopia filled with satire and dark humor

This legit feels like absconding zatwor its that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fustrating at times. MY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOD THIS AI can somehow see you through walls, through wooden doors since when did they get xray goggles??. I spent atleast half my playtime trying to figure out this buggy ♥♥♥♥. The other half on the death screen or waiting for the snail paced ai to ♥♥♥♥♥♥ move xd Positives of this game well it has good performance but for some reason the game is running at 60hz not what my monitor runs at. It has pretty much perfect ultrawide support atleast for 3440x1440. Cool artstyle with voice acting and same goes for cutscenes. If the issues were resolved and maybe made quests abit more streamlined it would make this game way better. Now for the negatives, The ai makes literally 0 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense in one save they will insta spot through walls, doors, then other times after i die they have stage 4 cataracts. There is literally 0 inbetween. The stamina system drains IN 2 SECONDS and refills in 3 hours. If you quick save alot you will probably encounter where it says it saved but when you die right back to previous checkpoint like you never even saved in the first place. I also noticed im standing outside enemies cone of vision yet im still being seen. Good to see its getting updates and not being straight up abandoned like many games these days. Im honestly gonna give this a 5.1/10 its edging into a negative review due to issues that can make a man go insane. Probably won't pick this up when it comes out its just not it chief.. Its just not my cup of tea i spent probably close to an hour waiting for enemies to pass me or JOHN IS DEAD screen.. This felt abit like watching paint dry..

Deserter es un RPG muy intrigante con un estilo bélico. Tiene escenas cinemáticas muy bien diseñadas y una historia interesante. La mecánica del juego es muy similar a la de This War Of Mine: búsqueda, comercio y sigilo. Mientras jugaba, experimenté una agradable sensación de nostalgia. Me encanta el estilo simple y los buenos gráficos del juego. Sin embargo, algunos botones de la interfaz no son muy intuitivos (como el botón de volver al juego en el menú Escape). Además, las posiciones de los PNJ podrían ajustarse un poco; esto rompe un poco la inmersión cuando te agachas con cuidado entre los enemigos y ves a tu camarada de pie en una pose inactiva, sin esconderse ni agacharse a pocos metros de enemigos armados. Esto es todo lo que pude encontrar; en lugar de eso, fue una experiencia extremadamente agradable. Estaré esperando una versión completa.
刚开始感觉挺简单,然后就有点难……再让后,就放飞自我了……通关之后,果断入手了前作,同时期待新作~
Good game that made me invest a couple of fine hours! Still has some bugs, it is a work in progress, but it was very entertaining overall. The stealth system is nice, a bit frustrating at times but not borderline unbalanced, which I find it very good for a game like this. The statuses were also a good point to keep up, made me stay on the edge. It seems the skill system is a bit clunky still and there was no push indication. an event or forced tutorial, of the feature which made me discover it only mid to end prologue... (maybe I just missed it) The ending did create a certain expectation in regards to John, so I am sure it will be exciting to get to play it once it realeases, defintely recomend to try this prologue while the game is still in the making.
和前作一样好玩
Deserter to intrygująca gra RPG w klimacie wojennym. Posiada bardzo ładnie zaprojektowane przerywniki filmowe i ciekawą fabułę. Mechanika gry jest bardzo podobna do mechaniki This War Of Mine: zbieranie, handel, skradanie się. Grając, czułem przyjemne uczucie nostalgii. Uwielbiam prosty styl i ładną oprawę graficzną gry. Chociaż niektóre przyciski interfejsu użytkownika nie są zbyt intuicyjne (jak przycisk powrotu do gry w menu Escape). Pozycje postaci niezależnych mogłyby być nieco zmodyfikowane, co nieco psuje immersję, gdy ostrożnie kucasz między wrogami, a potem widzisz swojego towarzysza stojącego w bezczynnej pozie, nie chowającego się, nie kucającego kilka metrów od uzbrojonych wrogów. To wszystko, co udało mi się znaleźć, ale mimo wszystko gra była niezwykle przyjemnym doświadczeniem. Będę szukał pełnej wersji.
Keine Zehen zu haben im Krieg ist nicht gut
good demo, will be looking out for the full game when it comes out.
