[h1] УБИВАЕМ ВРАГОВ НА СЛОВАХ [/h1] [code] [b] sWORDMASTER [/b] - лексическая игра от разработчика Studio 1983, изданный ими же. Игра вышла в Steam в декабре 2017 года и на данный момент имеет чуть менее 15 отзывов, что недостаточно для формирования полноценного рейтинга. Что представляет собой игра - рассказываю ниже. [/code] [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ О ЧЕМ? ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] Слышали ли вы когда-нибудь про игру "Эрудит"? Да-да, ту самую лексическую развлекуху, где каждому из игроков необходимо складывать слова из имеющихся букв, набивая очки и побеждая соперников. Так вот - sWORDMASTER отчасти работает именно по тому же принципу, только слегка видоизменена для большей оригинальности. Как и оригинальной настольной версии, игрок имеет в своем распоряжении случайный набор букв, каждая из которых обладает определенным количеством баллов-очков. Как правило, чем реже буква встречается в словах, тем она более ценна. Собрав слово из имеющихся букв, мы получаем возможность нанести урон ИИ-оппоненту в зависимости от длинны собранного слова и редкости букв в нем. Победив всех противников на одном уровне, игрок получает доступ к следующему с более опасными врагами, и так до победного. После прохождения игры на обычной сложности доступен режим "Новая игра+" с усложненными правилами. Особо большие и витиеватые слова приносят нам дополнительные бонусы. Помимо традиционного золота за победу на противниками игрок периодически получает возможность активировать особые эффекты: так, некоторые буквы в случае успешных комбинаций позволяют отравить врага, восстановить себе здоровье или даже ненадолго вывести противника из строя. Тут все будет упираться исключительно в богатство вашего словарного запаса и/или умение ловко складывать большие слова даже из самых сложных комбинаций. Не обошлось и без денежной составляющей. На полученное за победу над противниками золото игрок может прикупить себе новое оружие или броню, которая усилит его характеристики. Также можно пополнить запас зелий, которые дадут вашим буквам особый эффект даже без составления сложных терминов. Графически в sWORD MASTER все максимально простенько и бюджетно, ну да не за то мы любим такие игры. Номинально здесь есть все, что нужно для хорошей лингвистической потасовки. Музыка приятная, хотя не слишком разнообразна и явно взята из открытых источников. Зато в наличии огромный набор из почти 350 достижений Steam, выбивать которые будет достаточно непросто, но интересно, если распробуете игру. Режима с русским языком в игре, увы, не предусмотрено, однако для изучающих английский/испанский/немецкий или турецкий подобная штука может оказаться настоящим пособием по словообразованию. Одно плохо - нет возможности сыграть против живого игрока. [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ ПЛЮСЫ И МИНУСЫ ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] + Лингвистическая игра-тренажер на словообразование + Несколько режимов и уровней сложности + Поддерживает четыре иностранных языка + Большой набор достижений Steam + Низкая цена и частые скидки - Нет русского языка (уровень владения английским - средний) - Нет режима игры против живого оппонента [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ СТОИТ ЛИ ИГРАТЬ? ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] Когда покупал sWORD MASTER по скидке за 15 рублей, ничего особенного от игры не ждал. Однако, на пару с братом мы буквально погрузились в лингвистическое безумие (играли только на английском, разумеется), и за пару дней незаметно выбили больше половины из 348 достижений. Разумеется, засесть и долго в это играть не получится, ибо при всем разнообразии процесс довольно быстро изматывает и утомляет, но в качестве разминки или разрядки sWORD MASTER идеально подойдет тем, кто хочет не просто играть, но и заодно отточить новые лингвистические навыки.

awesome spelling game, even better if english is not your first language. hours of satisfying gameplay, different languages available, really well balanced difficulty. plus, not-so-dumb-achievements and quite nice music. can't ask for more, deserves a full, fat thumb-up!
Fun word game. Reminiscent of Boggle, as is apparent in the thumbnails. The most Boggle-y mode is Timed, where you rush to make as many words as possible. It's easier than Boggle and Scrabble, though, because you can use proper nouns and the letters don't have to be touching each other. My biggest complaint is that it won't recognize the word "SHART," though to be fair neither does the dictionary. Yet. Seriously, though, the word recognition is good, I had barely any issues, if any. I seem to recall trying an obscure last name that didn't work. I actually think the word recognition is a little too lenient, it will let you use things like SOS and TNT. But whatever. There's customization, which I haven't played around with yet. You can change enemies' stats and stuff. I don't know how much it will affect gameplay. But yeah, recommended. It's simple and fun.

Decent concept but very simplified.
Well, if you own all the other word games on Steam then maybe get this. If you don't, get the other worthwhile ones first. Not enough effort was put into this game, even at the low price of $3. What do the items do? What do the symbols do exactly? Why are there 348 achievements? What do the colored squares do? Why can I buy more than one of each of the equipment if I can't sell them back or equip more than one at a time? What is behind the locked item screen under equipped items? Why are the menus so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ when it comes to buying items? Why is New Game+ unlocked at the start? Why did you use the system to differentiate hard mode from normal mode with the New Game+ button? Why are the "grades" you get on each level such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ miserably excuse of a system? Why is there dodging...? Some of those can be answered in the screenshot section of the game now that I look. You can equip two swords at once. Faries or something seem to be behind the locked screen in the equip tab. I think you get my point.
"sWORD MASTER" is what looks like a mobile app in the wrong store. It's a basic word puzzle game, essentially just a ripoff of the tabletop game, Boggle. You're presented with a 4x4 grid of 16 letters and must create words from adjacent letters. Just like Boggle, longer words and words with less commonly used letters generate a higher score. The "gimmick" is that your score then "damages" an enemy, who in turn will make a word that damages you in return. This is incredibly shallow as far as games go, the whole thing might as well have been done in a web browser. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes "sWORD MASTER" might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. 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 4 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 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. One of the driving elements of this shovelware game is "achievement spam", that is to say the game features a ridiculously large number of trivial/automatically granted achievements, 348 of them, in fact. It's a damning indictment for this shovelware that people only bought it for easy achievements, and not because it has any serious merit as a real game. "sWORD MASTER" is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
sWORD MASTER es feo hasta para mis estándares. Aunque ese no es su principal problema. Su principal problema es que más allá de tener que hacer lo evidente, que es formar palabras, no explica absolutamente nada. A efectos prácticos, el juego es poco más que una pieza de software olvidado, cuyo manual de instrucciones se debió perder hace casi una década. Lo más triste es que intenta copiar al genial Bookworm Adventures y, pese a llegar varios años después, lo hace todo muchísimo peor. ¿Por qué entonces el thumbs up? Pues porque aunque sea una mierda, es mi mierda.
非常无趣的拼字游戏
A simple word finder with basic mechanics and a confusing point system. It does the job well with its core features but it can definitely benefit from PvP and offering a variety of US dictionaries to pick from. I could never figure out how the points were calculated, 2 word combos almost always score more than 4-5 word combos for example. It has a couple of minor bugs and doesn't recognize certain words but it is hard to complain when the price is just 99c.
