Игра 'Praesidium' – это увлекательный Tower Defense, в котором сочетаются классические механики жанра и интересные нововведения. Очень понравился визуальный стиль: мрачная атмосфера постапокалиптического мира отлично передана. Разнообразие юнитов и их прокачки затягивает, заставляя экспериментировать со стратегиями. Баланс сложности хорошо настроен, игра бросает вызов, но не кажется нечестной. Система ресурсов требует внимательного планирования и эффективного использования, что добавляет глубины игровому процессу. Отдельно стоит отметить сюжетную кампанию, которая, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, но неплохо мотивирует продвигаться дальше. Несколько огорчает некоторая однообразность ландшафтов, хотелось бы больше разнообразия в окружении. В целом, это отличный представитель жанра, который может увлечь на долгие часы. Рекомендую всем любителям Tower Defense.

非常好玩,值得玩
If you ever wondered how it feels like to play a speedrunning Captain America in the future, than look no further than Praesidium. Praesidium is a platformer game in third person perspective, that heavily relies on speedrunning as the aim of the game. The most exciting element of the game is its portable Shield, which functions a lot like the shield from Captain America. You can throw it to eliminate enemy robots, which can temporarily stun you with their attacks (which costs valuable time), or to destroy obstacles in the way. The really cool ability of the shield however is that you can also throw it at a certain point and make it to a jump pad, which gives you an extra bounce towards the next platform. The shield can also get called back to a player from any point of the level within a second. I am honestly impressed how well they implemented this cool shield feature. Even a lot of bigger studios haven't provided us with something like this. Unfortunately the game has only 3 shorter levels and a tutorial. That is disappointingly little content, since the gameplay is actually rather entertaining. You can beat all these levels within 10-15 mins at your first try, but they heavily rely on repeated playthroughs to improve your times and unlock medals. There are multiple alternative routes and hidden areas, which provide opportunities to potentially save precious seconds. So there is at least some good replay value in Praesidium. The Scifi scenario is pretty cool and the levels certainly fit the scenario and create a nice vibe. If you however look around closely, you will discover, that there aren't too many visuals details. It is enough to support the atmosphere and won't distract you while rushing through the levels, but you can clearly see that this was not done by a big studio. What did annoy me is, that your character will sometimes not grab on to ledges, even though he should be able to do so. Other times you will see wrong animations and so on. Nothing groundbreaking, but you can definitely notice these flaws. Controls work okay, but it is disappointing that you can't customize them or the visual settings. Only the sound volume can be changed slightly in the options. Main menu and ingame soundtracks are pretty decent and fit the mode of the game well. Pro: + Movement and platforming are decent + Shield ability works great + Alternative routes and secret areas provide replay value + Scifi atmosphere and fitting soundtrack Contra: - Only 3 shorter levels - Character sometimes doesn't grab ledges - Not enough visual details (plus no visual/controls customization) Result: Praesidium succeeds in delivering a short Scifi Speedrunning game. The futuristic atmosphere in the game is pretty nice (supported by the good soundtrack) and the shield ability works great. The game is just too short and still has some rough edges. 6.5/10
방패들고 허우적 목표지점으로 달려가는 게임입니다. 기본적으로 달리기와 점프가 가능하며, 여기에 방패의 능력을 활용할 수 있죠. 방패는 던지기가 가능하며 이를 통해서 오브젝트나 방해되는 포탑 등을 파괴할 수 있습니다. 추가로, 방패를 공중에 던져 고정시킬 수 있으며, 이를 밟아서 추가 점프를 실행할 수 있죠. 단, 최대 3회까지만 이용이 가능하며 땅에 착지를 하여야만 가능 횟수가 리셋됩니다. 이에 따라 마구잡이식으로 던지지 말고 필요한 순간에만 활용을 하여야 하죠. 목적지는 따로 안내가 되지 않기에 맵을 돌아다니면서 탐색하여야 합니다. 적당히 이쪽이다 싶은 방향으로 향하다보면 발견할 수 있지만... 오래 걸리죠. 또한, 이동하는 과정에 슬로우는 거는 포탑이나 밀쳐내는 트랩들의 방해를 겪기도 합니다. 외에도 특정 방향으로 추진력을 얻을 수 있는 장치도 존재합니다. 잘만 이용하면 숨겨진 길로 향하여 도달 시간을 단축할 수도 있죠. 방패를 던지면서 무언가를 파괴하고 발판으로 활용하는 재미가 있는 게임. 아쉬운 점 -애매한 시야 (도달가능한 거리인지 점프가능한 높이인지 가늠이 안 됨) -어색한 방향 전환 컨트롤 -목표 지점 파악 어려움
三关都rank1了,会用盾的话还挺有意思的,找到了突破自我的感觉(
