FreedroidRPG

"FreedroidRPG" is an unusual entry in the annals of gaming. It's a a free-to-play, open-source sci-fi role-playing game. The subject matter centers on a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a rebellion of robots. You're tasked with fighting hordes of enemy bots to save humanity, and of course being a "Linux" game, it's got Tux in it, because you know. Can't have a different theme from Tuxracer I guess, not allowed under the GPL I guess. There's a bit that says all games must have a penguin. Anyway, there's a lot of content, but this game is like over 20 years old and it shows (don't let the Steam release date fool you). What do you do in the game? Gameplay utilizes a real-time combat system similar to Diablo, featuring melee and ranged weapons. You can use programs to control enemies, modify their behavior, and enhance your character stats, which amusingly is done using a ripoff of the 1980's Commodore 64 game Paradroid's robot takeover minigame. Visually, this has some fairly mediocre/dated looking graphics (basically 2D isometric stuff) that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. Indeed, more than just free, this is fully open source, which is a tremendous and noble gesture. While the game itself might not be so great, we can't doubt the integrity of the developers. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

buon gioco

I remember this from ages ago! So cool to see it on steam. Running great on my handheld.

FreedroidRPG, oyuncunun insanlığı merhamet bilmeyen asi botlardan kurtarmak için bot ordularına karşı savaştığı açık kaynaklı bir bilim kurgu rol yapma oyunudur.

Scariest game ever.

Игра FreedroidRPG - это увлекательная и, что немаловажно, бесплатная RPG с изометрической перспективой в мире, где пингвины Linux сражаются против поработивших все вокруг роботов. Оригинальная концепция и харизматичные персонажи, такие как Tux, приятно удивляют. Геймплей довольно классический для жанра: исследование мира, выполнение квестов, прокачка персонажа и сбор экипировки. Боевая система простая, но эффективная, с возможностью использовать различное оружие и специальные навыки. Из плюсов стоит отметить неплохую графику, особенно учитывая, что это open-source проект. Музыкальное сопровождение создает подходящую атмосферу. Интересная система диалогов и разветвленные квесты добавляют глубины игровому процессу. Однако, игра не лишена недостатков. Интерфейс может показаться немного устаревшим, а баланс иногда хромает. К тому же, проекту не хватает полировки и иногда встречаются небольшие баги. В целом, FreedroidRPG - это достойная внимания игра для любителей old-school RPG и открытого программного обеспечения. Она может предложить несколько десятков часов увлекательного геймплея и уникальный игровой опыт. Если вы ищете бесплатную альтернативу дорогим RPG, то стоит попробовать!
