Strigoi: The Vampire Legend

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Strigoi: The Vampire Legend is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store assets, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the asset flipper took a bunch of stock Unity assets and dumped them on the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/uhfps-ultimate-horror-fps-kit-urp-254506]Ultimate Horror FPS Kit[/url] game template to make yet another bit of low effort minimum viable product asset flip cash grab shovelware. Yeah, there's a "game" of some sort here but it's complete garbage, run around, look at some Unity assets, get jumpscared by Unity assets... this is just more scamware. It has no value or merit as a real game. SP Games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1199150]Raccoon: The Orc Invasion[/url]" = [url=https://olanartworks.itch.io/2d-forest-assets-pack/devlog/82452/first-asset-for-downloads]2D Forest Assets Pack[/url] developed by Olan Artworks [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2026070]Tank Commander: Battlefield[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/battle-tank-starter-kit-60792]Battle Tank Starter Kit[/url] developed by Hardworker Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2337690]Battle Tanks: Arena[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/kawaii-tanks-project-87414]Kawaii Tanks Project[/url] developed by Chobi [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2126500]WWII Tanks: Forgotten Battles[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/physics-tank-maker-50485]Physics Tank Maker[/url] developed by Chobi [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1826290]WWII Tanks: Battlefield[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/physics-tank-maker-50485]Physics Tank Maker[/url] developed by Chobi [/list] Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 5 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name. So, should you buy this asset flip? Is this better than any of the 110,000+ genuinely made games on Steam? Of course not! Strigoi: The Vampire Legend has the gamer gouging price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer. For comparison, the $5 asking price for this game could get you games like "Hellblade: Sensua's Sacrifice", "Sleeping Dogs" or "Ark: Survival Evolved". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

Game is dog sh*t, half the reviews are from paid actors or friends of the dev. They're coping so hard! The game has more issues than the American health care system. Don't bother wasting your time.

Game is alright but its annoying that we cant block attacks with our melee weapons. Melee weapons range is crazy short regardless of weapon reach. I found a gun on level 3 yet I cant pickup, extremely frustrating. :(

Am intrat în acest joc cu așteptări mari. Vampiroaice emo, horror, adică o combinație perfectă! Dar, cumva, jocul a reușit să-mi dea cu șperaclul (din spatele încuietorii) în cap. Hai să vedem împreună de ce m-am îndrăgostit și m-am enervat în același timp: "Aruncă chestii din inventar, te rog!" Nu știu ce să zic, dar după 10 minute aveam inventarul plin de cuțite, brichete. Te rog, lasă-mă să arunc prostiile astea! Nu de alta, dar mă simțeam ca un colecționar de mizerii de pe marginea drumului. „Pietrele pulii” Când mă apropii de un item și acesta dispare sub ochii mei, îmi vine să încep o carieră de detectiv paranormal. De ce dispar obiectele? Sunt vampiroaicele în spatele acestui complot? Sau doar o textură care a zis „pa, fraierilor”? Respawn inamic la load game Deci am salvat. Am murit. Am dat load. Și inamicii erau din nou acolo, pregătiți să mă facă una cu pământul. Asta e horror adevărat: să lupți cu aceiași dușmani de fiecare dată. Ce-i asta, Groundhog Day cu colți? Setări care nu te ascultă Am zis să schimb sensibilitatea mouse-ului. Jocul: „Aaaa, păi dacă umbli la setări, hai să-ți resetez TOT!” WTF? Era nevoie să-mi dai și luminozitatea peste cap doar pentru că am vrut să nu mă mișc ca un melc? Fără salvare automată Checkpoint-uri? Care checkpoint-uri? Mori, o iei de la început. Dacă voiam Dark Souls, mă duceam direct acolo. Și măcar acolo ai o șansă. Aici, doar te chinui să înveți pe unde să calci ca să nu dispară pământul sub tine. Șperaclul misterios Încerc să deschid o cutie, iar șperaclul meu se află... în spatele încuietorii?! Efectiv am simțit că mă uit la un sketch de comedie. Cine a pus asta în joc merită un premiu pentru ironie. Uși reciclate între capitole Ajung la capitolul 4 și... surpriză! Aceeași ușă prin care am intrat la capitolul 3. Serios? Cu toată creativitatea pe care ai avut-o pentru vampiroaicele emo, n-ai mai avut buget pentru o ușă diferită? Sistemul de sugestii... fără sugestii Sunt pe punctul să cedez și dau click pe „sugestii”. Ce primesc? Nimic. Absolut nimic. Gen, butonul e acolo doar ca să-mi reamintească faptul că în viață nu există ajutor. Load game = cheat mode Acum partea funny. Dacă dai load game, poți omorî inamicii dintr-o singură lovitură. Așa că, dacă mă enervez suficient de tare, pot deveni un fel de super erou emo cu un singur click. Emoloaicele salvează situația În ciuda tuturor problemelor, trebuie să recunosc: vampiroaicele emo sunt exact ♥♥♥ mi le imaginam. Atmosfera gotică, drama lor eternă, și stilul impecabil m-au făcut să zâmbesc în mijlocul frustrărilor. Nota finală: 6/10 Recomand doar dacă ești pregătit să râzi și să te frustrezi simultan. Vampiroaicele emo sunt visul gotic, dar restul jocului... e un coșmar logic. Totuși, merită pentru chaos și umor.

Beautiful graphics A very atmospheric game Many different vampires and gorgeous, sexy vampire ladies Various items, lots of references to history and folklore And the game's story is a 10/10!

Impossible to advance, because of the huge bugs.

Its one of these really messy and buggy indie 1 dollar games but for the right price you can complete it and be entertained with a simple vampire story for 2h. Its better than others that try to do the same at at least.

Interesting proof of concept but it needs work. Also I we found some bugs but nothing too game breaking.

Surprised, the game is very good as of now, and longer than I expected. Zero bugs, evidently the devs worked to deliver a final spruce up. Merits another playthrough in the future, my definition of enjoying, good job even if it took effort and time. Choose you keyboard layout, FOV slider, sensitivity, etc: every QOL you could ask, again, beyond my expectations. ------- Disclosure, hints, help for old gamers like me and SPOILERS: Mind, 70 y.o. gamer, use my own C.E. tables, so my playings aren't typical as I tweak games to my preferences. This way I buy without fear of not finishing my games, Saves: \Steam\steamapps\common\Strigoi\Strigoi_Data\Data\SavedGame\ TAB = inventory, shows current health, etc. 1st weapon stuck in hanging body : 1 of 2 cabins crossing the stream. 2nd cabin: you can kill foe through windows. Didn't find bag to increase inventory in find the missing husband (hunter) mission, but really didn't search much. To grab the pistol in dungeon up ladder: free 4x4 slots square in inventory (same as for medikits). Also leave space for keys -1 slot each-, etc. Beware, dropped items are lost forever. Cemetery key: for it to appear, you *must* first find the note in the village tavern by 3 tent stalls and cart. Thing on a barrel in the tavern upper floor: Couldn't grab it even with free space in inventory, but then again: Maybe it's a light addon only for the pistol that is on the top floor of another house (with a balcony)? Didn't bother changing my first pistol for that new one, lazy of me. -- Current Health and Maximum Health are always grouped together, separated by 4 bytes, and end in 0 and 4 respectively (hex). -- All items are 4 Bytes Exact, and all addresses even if changing end always in C (hex). (Medkits, Medicinal Herbs and oil, lockpicks, both pistol ammo chamber and magazines, etc.) -- Petrol lamp duration, FLOAT simple values, address ends in zero (hex), 60 seconds full, decreasing to 0, freeze or input 99999. Good luck and enjoy !

Ну....авторы старались...правда не каждое старание приводит к чему-то хотя-бы сносному. [code]Вступай в [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/DreamsofGenesis]группу[/url] и [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/11769719/]кураторку[/url], если понравилось читать отзыв. [/code] Так и тут. Вроде смотришь скрины на странице игры - вроде ок. Читаешь описание - неплохо...даже хорошо. Пробуешь....а ощущение будто где-то жеско на*бали... Если дизайн неплох....у целого одного или 2 врагов...то вот остальной дизайн. Ну знаете - визуал окружения, визуал врагов, проработка окружения и всё вот это вот. Крайне проходной....и это ещё похвала. ИИ врагов тут отсутствует как таковой. То он рандомно заметит тебя с другого конца карты и будет лететь за тобой ока не завалит. То встанет как вкопанный в 2х шагах и будет жеско игнорить. И при таких вводных, врагам даже на нормальной сложности выкручивают урон настолько - что вы отлетаете с 3-4 ударов....которые ещё и регестрируются непонятным образом. Иногда враг будет стоять рядом и будет промахиваться, а иногда будет попадать на максимально возможной дистанции. И я вот хз. Мне не повезло или это "фишка" игры - при смерти игра откидывает в начало локации и отбирает вообще всё что было в инвентаре. Даже предметы принесенные с прошлых уровней.Что ощущается как-то....не честно... Я конечно всеми конечностями против раннего доступа...но некоторым играм он явно так и напрашивается. Вот и тут - будь игра в раннем - я б сказал что-то типа. "Ну концепт неплох...давайте посмотрим к чему авторы придут." НО! Игра в релизе - а значит кроме мелких правок е скорей всего ничего не ждет.
