About
Rescue the Hostages: Cryptic Countdown is a high-pressure FMV thriller where you must solve timed word scramble challenges to disarm a bomb and save trapped hostages.
A live-action FMV sequence unfolds in real time, with the bomb’s timer synced directly to the game. You have ten minutes to unscramble 20 words before the countdown reaches zero.
The game features three escalating levels, each introducing a new group of hostages and increasingly difficult word scrambles. Every second matters in this race against time.

This is exactly the game you get from watching the trailer. It's essentially hangman / scrabble but with a bomb and hostages. After level one....oh boy, you will need a friend or two! I did this with two other people and it was damn near impossible. If you want a crazy challenge, then this is for the word scramble master only! Enjoyed it for what it was, a fun quick game that you can pull up when you want to tease the brain.
High-pressure world scramble game. The FMV part is more like a creative choice than a gameplay element. You have 10 minutes to solve 20 of them, then the next level starts (from the three) with longer words. How fun! (It is not, you need perfect English to solve one world in 30 sec. I used Wordle solver, and I couldn't type fast enough :D) [quote]Follow us for more [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45113328-Awesome-Adventure-Friends/] Awesome Adventures![/url] [/quote]
yay jadi hero
I love trying to unscramble words and was excited to play this game. I found it to be fun yet stressful lol. I played repeatedly and enjoyed trying to figure out all of the words, but struggled and definitely needed help. If you like a challenging word scramble game, check it out :).
《Rescue the Hostages: Cryptic Countdown》是一款非常特别的游戏,玩过之后只能说有点没搞清楚这款游戏的定位,本以为是一种互动类影游的全新玩法和创新形式,不过玩过之后只能说是新瓶装旧酒,没什么新意。 一开始看这款游戏还比较上头,不管是超长的名字《Rescue the Hostages: Cryptic Countdown》,还是游戏复古的画面设计,都让人感觉作者在游戏上是下足了功夫的,虽然玩法上在steam商店页暂时看不出个大概,但是已经能判断出这是一款时限内救人的玩法,玩家需要在游戏NPC的宣战之下,救出人质,而NPC将人质困在了一个绑有炸弹的椅子上,限时10分钟,玩家需要拼出对应的单词,一步一步拆除炸弹,解救人质。本以为这游戏会在剧情上多下功夫,我甚至都把剧情想好了,什么特工组织深入敌方、被敌方围困,最后可以选择救或不救,和敌方首领斗智斗勇,最后正义战胜邪恶的戏码,还以为这是互动影游的新巅峰。 后来确实没想到,剧情方面真就是基本没有,甚至这游戏都算不上是影游,只能说真人影像只是背景板,核心玩法就只是拼单词。 所以说,在知道了这款游戏的核心玩法是拼单词之后,那本作没有中文也就不难理解了。毕竟拼单词也没法汉化,玩法也就简化成了要在10分钟内根据给出的乱序字母拼出对应单词,就算过关,游戏一共三个大关卡,每关难度也不同,从一开始的5个字母的单词到最后的15个字母的单词,难度逐级递增,虽然说本人英语水平也算过得去,至少大学六级水平是有的,面对前两关最多8个字母的单词也算是手拿把掐,没什么难度,但是到了第三关9个单词开始的关卡,我的脸上逐渐没了笑容,只能辅助AI帮我拼单词,这时候就能看出国产AI的弊端了,国产AI在一些长字母拼成的单词面前,是不会给出正确答案的,要么拼不出,要么给的是错误的单词,走投无路的我最后用了一下国外的AI模型,最终惊险过关。 最后结算动画也就是敌方NPC说有机会再见然后就结束了,整体玩起来确实没什么意思,毕竟那么长的单词即便是英语好的人也不一定能拼出来,这游戏的受众更多应该还是英语母语群体,让非英语母语的人玩,就很有难度了,何况游戏还有5分钟内过关的成就,对于国内玩家来说,更是天方夜谭了。 [code] No Responsibility Review,只根据个人喜好进行评测:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36266776-NRR233] 无责任评测[/url][/code]
