Nyaa-kuza!!

[h1]КОШКА-ЯПОШКА[/h1]

Searching for the term "platformer" on Steam gives you over 17,000 results... there's thousands and thousands of garbage tier platformers infesting Steam. "Nyaa-kuza!!" fits right into that category of retro 2D shovelware glutting the Steam store. Only a tiny number of those are any good, and this isn't one of them. In fact, this platformer is so badly made it's almost comical, with janky, almost unanimated cat sprites, badly designed platformer levels... this feels like the developer just wanted to write a furry fan-fiction but decided they should put it on some kind of game so it's not just an e-book. The idea is that you're a furry and your furry imaginary girlfriend/waifu is kidnapped so you have to pretend to be a furry and a samurai at the same time and fight other furries. All of this is extremely badly implemented, and of course the furry fan-fiction is weaponized cringe. The platforming genre is pretty much obsolete... just a tiny number of professionally developed platformers exist on PC and offer any real value or interest to gamers (Silksong, etc). This is nowhere near being as good as Hollow Knight or Silksong. Even without a price tag, it is easy to see why gamers ignored this in favor of modern, professionally developed 3D games. This is offering nothing new or interesting, so it's easy to see why this failed. So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. There's an overwhelming amount of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design.. "Show, don't tell." So you'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written VN text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time. We're here to play games, not read through hours of garbage intersituals. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. A peak of [b]6 concurrent players[/b] (according to SteamDB) for a "free" game is a disastrous public reception. Out of 130 million potential players here on Steam, almost nobody was interested. Even though this is "free". That level of rejection speaks a lot for the quality of the game. Given that this free game won't increase your game collector count, is it worth your time to add it to your library? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough. Finally, I'm here to help save gamers time by filtering out the noise and substandard games. If you don't agree with my assessment of the defects in this game, go ahead and download it... maybe you'll find the same defects to be as unacceptable as I did, maybe not. Even write your own review. Positive or negative, game reviews are here to help other gamers by informing their decisions on what to spend their time on.

Игра 'Nyaa-kuza!!' – это довольно странный, но неожиданно увлекательный гибрид визуальной новеллы и симулятора свиданий. Сюжет, где вам предстоит соблазнять кошко-девушек из криминального мира, поначалу вызывает смешанные чувства, но юмор и необычные персонажи быстро располагают к себе. Графика выполнена в приятном аниме-стиле, а сами кошко-девушки прорисованы весьма детально и очаровательно. Диалоги остроумные и полны отсылок к поп-культуре и мемам. Геймплей представляет собой классический симулятор свиданий: выбор реплик в диалогах, дарение подарков и участие в мини-играх для завоевания сердца понравившейся кошко-девушки. Мини-игры довольно простые, но они добавляют разнообразия в игровой процесс. Несмотря на свою нишевость и откровенную абсурдность, 'Nyaa-kuza!!' – это забавная и расслабляющая игра, которая может подарить несколько часов хорошего настроения. Рекомендую тем, кто не боится странных концептов и любит визуальные новеллы с юмористическим уклоном.
