Operation Marakudja

This is creatively bankrupt stuff, effectively plagiarism, and it's bad for everyone. It's a collection of mismatched Unreal Marketplace assets dropped on a lazy first person arena shooter blueprint.... and yeah, that's all the developer tried to do to attract gamers. Well, apart from paying a Russian review farm for fake reviews. I feel bad for the genuine amateur developers who have to compete with this garbage. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "Operation Marakudja", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive almost immediately. Developers must learn that procgen is a terrible substitute for creating real content. It should not be used as "ez-mode" for content creation, as the developer tried to do here. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $13 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. 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.

They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the product launched on Steam, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Due to the 2024 FTC ruling, these fake reviews are a violation of US Federal Law ([i]16 CFR § 465.2, 15 U.S.C. § 45[/i])[/quote] All other issues aside (any of which would disqualify this from being worth your time), this is a game that relies on other players for it to be viable, and because there's not enough players, it's not viable. I can't recommend anyone downloads this, it's basically dead.

Not worth your time at the moment seems to be very glitchy also. No lobbies either at time of playing.

Игра "Operation Marakudja" – это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре тактических шутеров от первого лица. Она подкупает своей брутальной реалистичностью и напряженной атмосферой. Каждое решение имеет вес, а неправильно спланированный штурм может закончиться плачевно. Искусственный интеллект противников действительно бросает вызов, заставляя постоянно искать новые тактические решения и использовать окружение в свою пользу. Графика хоть и не поражает воображение, но выполнена в добротном стиле, создавая мрачную и детализированную картину. Звуковое сопровождение прекрасно передает напряженность момента, добавляя immersiveness. Отдельно стоит отметить разнообразие оружия и снаряжения, позволяющее адаптировать оперативника под свой стиль игры. Однако, не обошлось и без минусов. Иногда встречаются небольшие баги, а интерфейс мог бы быть более интуитивно понятным. Тем не менее, эти недостатки не портят общего впечатления от игры. В целом, "Operation Marakudja" – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет хардкорный и реалистичный тактический шутер, требующий стратегического мышления и командной работы. Рекомендую к ознакомлению!

Glitchy at times, graphically goofy, controller axis inverted with no setting to change it, no players so all bots ,but if you bring some Homies you'll have a good laugh with the boys before you and the boys go to bed with each other, [7/10 Good]
