Red Alliance

As many people have said, if you're a Half-Life fan, this is a great game to play today. It's full of nostalgia in every way.

Decent SauceTM shooter with plenty of secrets and things to find, including the famous Half-Life crowbar. Subpar voice acting and terrible facial models make it less appealing in the story telling department.

A fairly standard shooter in the vein of games released between '98 and '05. Weapons and environments are cool and varied, beautiful graphics for an indie game, and it has enough secrets that would make one want to explore instead of push on through the boilerplate gameplay and plot. Enemies sometimes feel like bullet sponges, and I have encountered one or two graphic glitches in the course of my playthrough, but nothing that caused the game to lag or to crash. Overall I would say it is pretty well optimized. Pros: Good weapon design, great environment design, funny B-movie type plot, main villain's dialogue/VA Cons: everyone else's voice acting, character models don't move their mouths while talking, enemy AI/aim, scarcity of ammo Length: ~3 hours to complete, maybe 4 to find all the secrets. Rating: 7/10. Respectable afternoon's worth of diversion, though it is not something I'd recommend paying full price for.

The game's alright. The story is... there - I guess. The environments in the first half of the game look nice, the gunplay is decent (and could've been a lot better if the recoil wasn't so horrendous).

As a Half-Life fanboy, I, of course, really enjoy Red Alliance. It doesn't try to hide its influences, nor tries to change a winning formula, it's just a really solid indie FPS, which has some issues one should expect from an ambitious project like this made with a small budget and a small team. These issues include some engine jank like physics going crazy and the game running internally at 60FPS despite having no issues with 144hz, so it ends up feeling... weird to play, you get used to it though. The (english) voice acting is atrocious but the writing doesn't make it cringe, I gotta give a shout-out to the main antagonist's actor who has some hilarious deliveries. I fully recommend this game if you're a fan of Half-Life 2 and shooters of this era, and even as a fan of shooters in general, I recommend it. It's a very good game. Congrats to the devs !

It plays like a lower-budget Russian Half-Life 2 clone from the 2000’s era. The game has decent gunplay, lots of secrets and easter eggs hidden around every corner and offers some replay value with different game modes. In my experience it ran without any technical issues and no crashes (which isn’t always the case for games like these) + there’s decent amount of customisation in the game’s settings, from FoV slider to being able to open developer’s console for further adjustments. On more negative side, graphics and art direction is rather inconsistent with some interiors looking really good even by today’s standards while some outdoor areas look like they’ve been made 20 years ago, I’ve also noticed few times how the enemies spawned right next to me and on few occasions AI just stopped working completely. Also the campaign/story is about 2-3 hours long and voice acting ranges from “okay” to “really bad” (which is understandable given that the game was made by like 5 people). I’ve bought it on a sale for less than £4 and I’d give it about 7/10 score at that price range, its worth checking out if you’re looking for some “oldschool” shooter to play for few days.

game is good. period. gunplay is also good and kicks nicely. also I love the clumsy voice acting. not much there to say, a proper classic shooter.

Великолепный шутер в духе Half Life 2. Однозначно пробежаться стоит.

[h1]Rating[/h1] 6/10 [h1]Intro[/h1] A decent FPS inspired by Half-Life 2. It even goes as far as to include a driving section. Although, the lack of polish is very apparent. Still though, I recommend picking it up on a sale. [h1]Positives[/h1] + Good soundtrack. + Good weapon variety. + Spooky underground levels. + Weapons have good impact. + Good aesthetics and graphics. [h1]Negatives[/h1] - Enemies are super accurate while also dealing a lot of damage. - Horrid voice acting. Seriously, step away from the mic, so your lines don't peak so badly. - Unable to lean around corners. This isn't ideal in a game that encourages stealth when possible. - Weapon limit. For a game inspired by Half-Life 2, this strict five weapon limit feels out of place and limits your options.

Its a janky but fun game, Voice acting is hilarious as well, They got inpiration from half life by Design and Style a bit,But its worh the price
