Steel Alcimus

Steel Alcimus yukarıdan aşağıya bir helikopter nişancı oyunudur. Müttefik uçağınızla çeşitli görevleri tamamlayın; taşıyıcıyı kurtarmak, binaları yıkmak, nesneleri taşımak vb.

조작이 너무 불편합니다. 마우스로 조준하고 그곳으로 발사하는게 아닌, 현실성을 강조한 모양인데, AD버튼으로 회전할바엔 마우스를 이용해 천천히 그곳을 바라보게 하는 형식을 채택하는 게 더 좋았을 듯 합니다. 게임 자체가 어려운건지 맞으면서 해야하는 게임인지는 잘 모르겠으나, 솔직히 하고싶지는 않은 스타일의 게임같습니다. 브금이나 도트그래픽, 스토리와 연출등은 좋다고 생각하나 게임성은.... 게임을 깊게 해보기도전에 질려버릴 수준입니다.....

Love the idea, love the graphics and the environment, I really tried to love this but the controls made me uninstall, even navigating menus feels bad, I think if this get fixed this game would be a hit!

Steel Alcimus is a 2D retro pixel top down shooter that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It's got a military/helicopter theme that riffs off games like Raid on Bungeling Bay by a little known developer called Will Wright, who would later go on to make some other simple 1980's game called "SimCity", not sure if anyone has heard of that. Anyway. The game plays okay and there's a few gameplay mechanisms that innovate over the original shooters from the 1980's and 1990's that this is ripping off, so that's a plus. I would say if this was released in 1987, it would be very highly regarded. The problem is... it's not 1987 anymore. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution is locked, but at least you can customise the controls. The visual flaws and locked resolution push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs, although in this case the game is mostly free (the developer has their hand out for a small, optional donation). Nothing speaks more to a developers belief in themselves and their product than making their game available for everyone without remuneration. This is certainly a gesture that shows dedication to the gaming industry. It's a shame in this case that the implementation is below the minimum standards a dedicated PC game should offer to enthusiasts. There's no "maybe" option in Steam, unfortunately, but I hope to see more work from this developer, perhaps as part of a professional game development company that can make full use of their talents without needing to make budget/quality compromises like pixel art and using off the shelf game templates and construction kits.

Actually kind of interesting that you have area-lock-on weapons and faster jets to engage with. Also you have limited resource for some room of mistakes.
