Severed Steel

eğlenceli

Поехавший экшен конструктор с разрушаемостью и мувментом от титанфола, генерирующий стиль каждый кадр еще и с отличным альбомом джангла в придачу

[h1] Still have nerves of steel [/h1] Looking at Severed Steel, you instantly see what inspired the creators of Echo Point Nova. And although the latter managed to carve out its own identity, the similarities in graphics and destructibility really stand out. In this game, you play as a one-armed mercenary named Steel, making her way through futuristic arena-shooter-style complexes. To put the gameplay in a nutshell: it’s like if Faith from Mirror's Edge: Catalyst finally got to fully use guns, but with slightly toned-down parkour skills. Our heroine can run along walls, slide, and shoot like a pro, and in the second half of the story, she even gets a prototype gun on her left arm that works like a rocket launcher. The shooting here is pretty unique: you can aim PARTIALLY in slow motion, there’s no reloading, so you constantly have to pick up guns off the ground and stay alert. The enemies aren’t exactly brilliant like in the first F.E.A.R., but on higher difficulties, the second game can definitely kick your ass. The heroine heals only by killing, and that’s also how you recharge bullet time, which you can use with the right mouse button. The objectives on the levels are basic and repetitive: fend off a wave, reach the exit, or destroy a couple of things. Quick flashing messages before each level give you the rundown, so you won’t get lost – at worst, it’s stylish. The problem with the game is that behind the flashy moves and vibrant visuals, there's a pretty clunky story and a really short playtime. On medium difficulty, you can speedrun the main campaign in under two hours. The linear levels and repetitive tasks get boring, and even after all these years since release, the game still doesn’t have a proper Russian translation — not everything is translated, including in-game achievements, and some tools, like the map editor, aren’t fully polished. In the end, it’s a game with some charm, but it’s hard to recommend to everyone. It’s a low-key, modest action game that clearly falls short compared to something like Echo Point Nova in terms of content and polish. Overall, it’s an average game, and you might as well skip it.
