REPUNK

Я ожидал куда большего от этого проекта. Потенциал не раскрыли. В итоге ты просто жмешь W и едешь по компасу. Можно побегать по руинам, но там ничего интересного. Больше всего обидно что нет никаких интересных механик взаимодействия с машиной.

REPUNK is a bit of an atmospheric experience. The story unfolds as you find various glass books and audio recordings strewn around the Martian landscape. When you first start playing you might think it is a very short experience, as it certainly can be. But, the game has multiple endings and multiple locations for you to find. Second, Third, and more replays are recommended. Graphically the game represents a bit of a Canyon or something like that. I'm not a Rocktologist so I can't give you the exact description that would be accurate. A crater filled with mountains and hills? Is that something that makes more sense? Yeah, well... That's what you're in. The outside of this area is terribly [spoiler]full of radiation[/spoiler], which you'll learn on that first attempt of being an overzealous adventurer. Old, dilapidated machinery and buildings are strewn around the landscape. Can you enter them? [spoiler]Not most of them[/spoiler]. Exploration is your best friend, and the game's somewhat small landscape allows you to focus on exploring new areas on your next run. Sounds are good, and music is a range of classical music and the official REPUNK soundtrack that's pretty upbeat. There's some wind, some eerie noises, and despite being on what one might consider a dead planet it certainly feels as if there might be something alive here. [spoiler]There is[/spoiler] The core gameplay mechanic is driving your LV around Mars to explore or focus on actually completing your mission. It is best described as Mel Gibson stealing Thomas the Tank Engine during a drunken stupor and driving his way onto the newest Mad Max demanding to be remembered. Basically the LV is like a Snowcat with an odd center of mass. It takes awhile to get the hang of driving it, but once you do it is fairly easy to get around. Until then, yeah that aforementioned description rings true. In the end, I treated this much like a game where I just drove around Mars and just enjoyed the ride. I think that's the part of the game that truly stands out. Just jump in, explore, and chill.

Really unique game! I should note to potential players that the primary gameplay loop seems to be quite short. It encourages replayability over having a single, longer experience, much like a rogue-like. There is perma-death, and starting from scratch. You have a limited time to complete your mission, so you are not able to explore the whole game in a single session. But the game, by contrast, encourages exploration and discovery. So in order to do this, you need to re-play re-punk ... get it? I love the environment and overall atmosphere of the game. It really puts you into an alien world, with lots to discover, but with the added tension of having limited resources and time. I want to see what happens if I don't follow my orders 100% next time...

I find this game both nice and disappointing at the same time, because Nice: Great introduction Fantastic vehicle design Great HUD design Oxygen and frost mechanics are a nice touch Disappointing: The gameplay is too empty, the presentation makes it look more interesting, than it actually is Mission time limit - kinda defeats the whole exploration idea, instead of creating the sense of urgency and danger, it just feels annoying. Mars environment is rather bland, the vehicle dynamics is rather unnatural. After you restart a couple of times, there is little motivation to try again, because the experience is simply not so rewarding, as it could be in a game like this. The first starting minutes are interesting, but after that, the game fizzles out pretty quickly.

Failed both Speech Checks for martians people and earthlings. So they had a nice aggressive approach for me haha.. FPS runs great, Alot of endings, Short game but with a ton of replayability. Repunk also has alot of lore, story & achievements which is 15 so far as of 6/16/2024 I been playing since the beta and now playing on release day is great. You can collect Audio logs and glass books for lore You have around about 50 mins to do what ever you need to do or check out the map and unknown areas lost in mars sands. I really enjoyed REPUNK and i think you will too. I appreciate Almar (Dev) for listening about updates to the helmet for no Instakill update and the one you added immersive update for the controls to move in the LV cockpit. Thanks Almar, Look foward to more updates for this game.

If you are into start over every time you die, then this is the game for you! While I'm never personally a fan of starting over from the start when dying, I can still recommend the game; Especially for the vibes it gives when playing Jazz in your 'Device' and sending it off Sand Dunes, while the 'Device' seems to be indestructible. If you are an adventurer and someone who likes these kind of mechanics, then you should definitely be grabbing this and supporting an indie developer!

En esta pequeña joya desconocida independiente creada por un único desarrollador nos pone a los mandos de un astronauta/soldado/chico de los recados al que lanzan al desconocido planeta rojo con la única misión de llevar un vehículo al punto de extracción antes de que se acabe el tiempo. Un dispositivo que a los pocos pasos te das cuenta que es el verdadero protagonista del juego. Vehículo que he odiado muy fuerte, me ha hecho dar vueltas de campana, frustrarme por no avanzar por donde yo quería e incluso llegar a perderle en la fría noche marciana sin apenas visión…pero después de varias run no puedo más que quererle. He llegado a domarle como un caballo metálico salvaje y la verdad que he disfrutado y disfruto dentro de él. consiguiendo llegar a esos sitios que antes no podía o simplemente refugiado en su interior de tormentas mientras escucho una buenísima banda sonora mientras leo alguno de los libros encontrados por mis viajes en las áridas tierras rojas. Porque no hay nada que me guste más que un juego no te lleve de la mano y en cuanto acabas la primera run, lo primero que vas a querer hacer es investigar más sobre la perturbadora historia de ese planeta y seguramente no ser tan obediente. Además, no siendo un juego de terror , su aislamiento (bendita música, cuanto se agradece) si que te mantiene alerta mientras encuentras más información sobre la historia de ese planeta. O bueno quizá no solo de ese planeta… Pero eso es algo que voy a dejar que descubráis vosotros mismos.

I gotta say that the game oozes charm from all of its pores. Gaming shouldn't be about stupidly polished products, but about having ideas and putting them to practise. This is the case of Repunk, where everything is trimmed until the central idea comes unto view. Short, simple, even basic you could say, but it is all it needs to be. And everything conflates into a meditative experience that lets you soak in the game's atmosphere and its themes. In this mindset, you wonder about its world, caring more about what might be than about what actually is, until you discover that there is a bit more than meets the eye...

Very atmospheric and fun experience. Driving and navigation feels great and I'm enjoying the story. Definitely recommended.

Try this game if you want your Outer Wilds itch scratched! Nice story, interesting design quirks, lots of endings, beautiful and mysterious Mars, all in front of you! BUY IT!!! (also, the Russian translation is on another level of goodness, I wonder who made it...)
