Heavy Fire: Afghanistan

Хороший гайд на общение с афганцами <3

"Schienen-Shooter" vom Feinsten. Hatte mir nicht viel davon versprochen, aber das hat echt Riesenspaß gemacht. Es gibt einen winzigen Rollenspiel-Entwicklungsteil über Ausrüstung/Lebenspunkteausbau etc. Aber der Großteil ist pures Ballern. Als etwas knifflig empfand ich zum einen den letzten Level der Kampagne, der vor allem im allerletzten Abschnitt plötzlich total gutes Hören und perfektes Timing erfordert. Zum anderen die Errungenschaften für "Treffsicherheit in einem Level unter 5%" - boah, eine echte Fleißarbeit, wenn man bedenkt, das man damit 1 1/2 Pistolenmagazine pro Kill in die Luft feuern muss. Zum anderen die 10er Kill-Kette, die ich persönlich in der Heli-Mission nach einigen Versuchen bekommen habe (es darf nur maximal eine Sekunde zwischen den Kills liegen). Trotz des Klischee-Szenarios, der völlig unhinterfragenden Story, dem Umstand, dass die Motivation der Gegner und die eigene nicht beleuchtet wird... eine unterhaltsame Ballerbude. Persönliche Wertung 7/10

Я e6aл траить уровень целиком только из-за того, что какой-то тупорылый 3,14дор думал очком, когда при создании последней миссии расставлял чекпоинты и размещал аптечки. Разок переиграл, но, когда встрял на том же самом месте, понял, что это тот случай, когда таки лыжи не едут. Подписываюсь под каждым словом сего господина: https://steamcommunity.com/id/oink-oink/recommended/305980/ А ещё стрельба ну никакая, вообще. Из хорошего только постановка: зрелищно.

[b]KAMGUSTA'S MINI REVIEW[/b] Do you like "Time Crisis" and "The House of the Dead"? Well, you're better off playing the latter (as the former isn't on STEAM). But if you want to try another shooter on rails, this game delivers (something) - and it's also the sole alternative. For the story, you are a U.S. marine who "exports democracy" in Afghanistan with bullets and grenades. Regarding stereotypes, in this game everyone with a headcloth is "bad". It's not the game of your life, but it's priced reasonably and exactly worth what it costs (a coffee). All considered, for me it's a thumbs up. There is also a sequel a little more polished, "Shattered Spear" (if you have to pick one, pick that one instead). [b]Best played with keyboard & mouse Recommended buy price: 2,5$ Score: 6/10[/b]

Was having fun in a bad b movie rail shooter kind of way until the final mission which has STUPID checkpoints and the difficulty shoots up to impossible on rookie difficulty. I have rarely seen such a terrible and profound difficulty spike in any game, usually the putrid section of the bad game umbrella. Completely unplayable trash, wouldn't recommend trying to play on veteran because so much of this game is incredibly cheap, the camera is too wobbly and it's often too hard to see the ammo and health pickups because the weird sunlight brightness and swaying camera, oftentimes pickups are a blur and you can't even see them for the most part. Janky and overall pretty bad, got on sale for 87 cents, not going to refund, but the terrible difficulty spike ruined the game for me even though I enjoyed portions of it as "so bad its good". Avoid unless you want to be frustrated.

Cooles Game!

Both Heavy Fire games I've played (Afghanistan and Shattered Spear) are subpar rail shooters that may have been decent with VR support or even a light gun, but as is, just a rather boring affair that I wouldn't recommend (either of them). They're both low quality enough I'm removing them from my account even.

[h2]Heavy Fire, heavier disappointment[/h2] I got this in a bundle with "Reload", which is actually a really fun game and well worth playing. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about "Heavy Fire: Afghanistan". I can't recommend this game. It's not completely terrible, but it's so incredibly average and mediocre that there's almost nothing I can point to as a genuine positive. The only things I really appreciated were the trading cards and achievements, which add a nice little meta-game that I enjoy on Steam. So yeah, if you're an achievement hunter, that might make the game at least somewhat entertaining. Besides being mediocre in terms of both gameplay and story, the game has another major issue. I don't know if other people experienced this as well, but this game made me seriously motion sick. There isn't even an FOV slider, and the camera constantly swings all over the place during missions. It really messed with my head. I'm someone who's used to fast-paced shooters, so it's not like I get motion sick easily. I can't fully explain what makes the movement here different from other games, but the camera feels incredibly unnatural and unintuitive. Combined with the low FOV, it made me feel nauseous after a surprisingly short time. To make it more bearable, I started playing in a 1280x720 window instead of fullscreen, which helped quite a bit. Even then, though, I still felt a little off after just half an hour of playing. This is the main reason I can't recommend the game. It really feels like the developers never properly tested whether the camera would cause problems for players. A simple FOV slider and some improvements to the camera movement could have solved most of these issues. There are also plenty of moments where your soldier suddenly does a ridiculously fast 360° turn just to look at some random scenery, a helicopter flying overhead, or to force a surprise encounter with an enemy carrying a knife. These unnecessary camera movements only made the motion sickness worse. And for context, I was able to play "Hyper Demon" (a game that's practically infamous for melting people's eyesight) without any real issues. "Heavy Fire" though, somehow, was a completely different story. The game also tries way too hard to sell this "cinematic war movie" aesthetic. As a result, everything looks washed out. The colors barely have any color at all, and looking toward the sun completely blinds you, making it almost impossible to see enemies. That's a huge problem because this is an on-rails shooter - you can't move to get a better angle. If the sun is in your face, you're basically stuck. The opposite problem also exists. In darker areas, visibility is just as bad, and it's often difficult to see anything at all. The only reason combat remains playable is because enemies have giant red exclamation marks floating above their heads while they're shooting at you, letting you roughly guess where they are. That's a pretty lame solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. In "Reload", this wasn't an issue at all. Every enemy and target was clearly visible, and the environments actually had some color and contrast. Overall, "Heavy Fire: Afghanistan" is a good example of how not to make an on-rails shooter. Everything feels messy, the gameplay is forgettable, and the only part I genuinely enjoyed was unlocking the achievements. Thankfully, they're not too grindy and don't require multiplayer, so you can earn all of them solo in roughly three hours. [h2]3/10 - An incredibly mediocre on-rails shooter that fails at almost everything it tries to do. Unless you're just looking for a few easy Steam achievements, there are far better games in the genre worth your time (like "Reload" for example).[/h2]
