Slave Zero

---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Masterpiece ☐ Beautiful ☐ An original artistic direction ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☑ normal ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS +- it is a game from 1999 so you won't see too many details (but now in HD), but the colour palette and location variety can be pretty nice * I also recommend using widescreen fix from Busty: [url=https://youtu.be/8OYYEXNUx74?si=Y1zFjyeWNlP8DsHc] [/url] (setup guide) ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Won’t ever touch any other game anymore ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☑ Mehh ☐ Tic Tac toe is better ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't + the combat isn't actually too bad, and I like that you can find new upgraded weapons throughout the game for each slot (main, special and rockets) +- as most people already mentioned, the crosshair is off-center, so you have to aim elsewhere to actually hit something. You can get used to it, but with some later weapons having [i]very[/i] steep trajectory, it can get kinda annoying - would be nice if my resources (ammo and health) were replenished at the beginning of each mission, or if there weren't enemies just right in front of you - honestly all the bosses are just kinda ass - resource management (ammo and health) can be a bit rough - in some missions, you get way too much ammo, in some almost none - a lot of later weapons require more than 1 ammo to shoot and so even the max ammo capacity can be pretty low, and so I had to depend solely on rockets at times *- more of a weird mechanic for me, but it seems like there's falling damage? Seems a bit unusual for this genre/style ---{ Replayability }--- ☑ A one-time experience ☐ For achievements ☐ If you wait a few months/years (or with mods) ☐ Definitely ☐ Infinitely replayable (or almost) +- probably just a one-time experience for most people ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf +- not great but not too bad either ---{ Music }--- ☑ Just filling noises/No music ☑ Trivial and uneventful ☐ Decent Soundtrack ☐ Good and/or fitting the game's artistic dispositions ☐ Great ☐ Memorable ☐ Peak ☐ Transcending whispers of a forgotten world +- the music isn't bad, but it does sound like a generic sci-fi kind of OST ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma + except for some low-res blood and dystopic future, everyone can play it ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer +- while basically anything should be able to run this game, it seems like there are still some performance issues - mainly FPS drops (played on R5 5600, RTX 3060 12gb, 16gb RAM) ---{ Game Size }--- ☑ Floppy Disk (<1gb) ☐ Old Fashioned (1-9gb) ☐ Workable (10-49gb) ☐ Big (50-100gb) ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an enitre hard drive to hold it + only takes 730mb ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ My 90 year old grandma could play it ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Medium ☑ Hard ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls +- while playing on medium difficulty, I think the difficulty was alright, but it definitely had some easier/harder spikes ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Required for achievement hunting ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second live for grinding + nothing to grind for - no achievements and linear progression ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☑ Some lore ☑ It's there for people who want it ☐ Bizarre ☐ Average ☐ Well written ☐ Good ☐ Very Good ☐ Leading to more in-depth researches/thoughts ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life +- it has some lore and I think the visual storytelling is interesting, but at the same time it doesn't really tell you much *- it seems like there's no option to turn on subtitles so it can be a bit harder to catch the dialogues for non-native english speakers ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee (<2 hours) ☑ Short (3-10 hours) ☐ Average (11-25 hours) ☐ Long (26-50 hours) ☐ I have to ask my boss for vacation time (51-99 hours) ☐ To infinity and beyond (100+ hours/doesn't have an "end") + the game should take 3-5 hours to finish ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☑ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money +- although it's only 7€, I'd probably wait for some sale since you can get it for 1-2€ pretty often ---{ Worth Buying }--- ☑ No ☑ If you have nothing else to play ☐ Wait for sale ☐ Yes ☐ You should have had it long ago +- even if the price is pretty low, it wasn't worth even the 2€ with all the bugs and performance issues, unless you're interested in the lore or have nothing else to play ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☑ Can get annoying ☑ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ☐ Hollow Knight - crashes: 1 (+ force quit multiple times because of other bugs) - after mission 12, the menu just seems to bug out - during mission 11, the game bugged out while defending the last exoskeleton and didn't continue until 4th try - alt-tabing out of the game seems to just break the mouse control - changing any setting (?) seems to fix the issue. Alt-tabing also causes the soundtrack to bug out - Steam overlay and screenshots don't work (at least not for me) - while not exactly a bug, it seems like on some maps it can be pretty easy to get out of bounds - sometimes dialogues/cutscenes seem to end early (probably caused by too high FPS) ---{ 3 / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☑ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10 ☐ 1̷̤̃1̸̢̤͗̓ Because of the bugs, I couldn't actually finish the whole game, so this'll mostly count just until half of mission 12. I think that the game is actually pretty decent, but the bosses and some later enemies, bugs and performance issues just turn the game into a lot worse experience. If you want some mecha combat game from around Slave Zero release date (1999), then Armored Core 2 or MechWarrior 4 (both 2000) will probably give you better experience.

Este juego lo jugue por primera vez a los 4 años y tardaba dias en terminarlo, era lo único que tenia para jugar en la Pc, MUY adelantado a la época este titulo, como me gusta reventar a tiros a los enemigos, 10/10.

Não consigo jogar esse jogo, ele crasha o tempo todo Jogue a versão da GOG, ela funciona e o jogo e bem divertido, só que ele só roda bem naquela versão

slave zero es de los juegos mas hijos de perra de su epoca que he llegado a jugar, la dificultad es muy insana y vas a estar guardando la partida muy contantemente, lo bueno que tiene es la banda sonora, lo malo es que el juego empieza a dar lageos muy feo debido a que es un juego de windows 95/98 no debe de dar ese tipo de problemas pero no, y es algo que sufri ya que en momentos muy freneticos tuve que sufrir, el precio de este no me parecio nada malo.

Remember this from my childhood. Needs some "adjustments" to run on a modern system, but still lots of fun, Check PCGamingwiki to have it run properly.

Perfect! Runs with no issues with dgVoodoo2 / Glide option at 1440p!

150/10 blew the nostalgia straight off my body after kicking my ass up one side of the street and down the other. This game is a classic banger DESPERATE FOR A REMASTER! Biomechs blasting each other through a neon drenched city to an ass kicking amazing soundtrack. If you have not played this game, rectify that immediately.

Fun! But full of old school jank that makes it a difficult game. It's also prone to crashing so save often. This game is in desperate need of a NightDive remake.
