Utopia City

Old Bad Game

видно что разрабы набили руку на игре - ликвидатор 2 и решили пойти дальше . но опять не то... до Исхода с земли еще рановато , так что перед нами очевидный проходняк. хотя скажу честно что уровни в пределах хуба (телепортов) мне понравились они не сложные и простые. но город....в городе вообще уже совсем непонятно что делать куда идти че нажимать. глушили выключили на чертово колесо поднялись....и??? а дальше никаких указаний - ДУМАЙ сам.

i made a dance video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkpGPmst-gQ whenever you see reef entertainment followed by PARALAX, you know you are in for a MASTERPIECE videogame. I played liquidator2 before this and these guys just know VIDEO GAMING the first level is the only level that sucks, you need to go to the third floor, press F on a blue computer to aquire the code, then go down to floor 2, use the code on a silver looking vault door thing. Then climb to fourth floor and go into the ventilation shaft to be able to drop into the dude with the artefacts room once you get the shield artefact from the police station, its like ezmode from that point forward. Just put all your energy into that specific spell (you can press G to open energy distribution menu, and u can even click the green icons to fine tune which weapons or spells specifically recharge) it takes a while to understand this bizzarre game. But its so much fun lol. And its hilarious. Great map design as usual from these guys! This ultimate slavjank collection has sent me down a DEEP rabbit hole of unique experiences. I got like 13 total games for $18 i love it so much oh, i forgot to mention. My game bugged HARD my first playthrough, i had no shadows or lights or any graphical effects at all. I started a new game when the artefact in the police station was literally not there. I did a file integrity check on steam and it found 1409 bad files WTF! But it may have been my fault because i renamed the exe of the game to factorio to get it to work with nvidia freestyle overlay (a fun trick i use sometimes to add SSAO to old games) im using dgvoodoo2 and now the shadows and lights are working and the game is beautiful. But i think the shadows would work without dgvoodoo2 im not sure. I think i just messed up my files. Im glad everythings working now and i just unlocked the rocket launcher. At first the gameplay loop seems incoherent and insane, but you are supposed to shoot people alone in rooms and then put away your gun and crouch for a bit to make the icon green again. You are supposed to shoot civilians in this game lol. Theres a cool lore reason for it but i wont spoil it. Great, weird, bizzare video game. Its like dues ex with postal2 gameplay. Seeing the civilians all take out guns and start shooting eachother is hilarious. i have a youtube video called something like "ultimate slavjank collection this is what i LIVE for". And i think imn gonna make a new video right now covering this game (because in that video i only covered rat hunter, pirate hunter, and liquidator2). But ive seen beat instinct (only bad game ive seen so far) and now im playing utopia city which is AMAZING. So ive knocked out 4 of 13 games so far and im going to beat every single one of them

Utopia City, developed by Parallax Arts Studio and published by Strategy First, is a first-person shooter that attempts to blend a cyberpunk narrative with action-oriented gameplay but ultimately struggles to deliver a satisfying experience. Originally released in 2005 and reissued on Steam in late 2024, the game places players in a futuristic world where virtual reality and the real world collide. As an elite agent, your mission is to penetrate a digital utopia that has turned hostile, battling various enemies within a virtual environment. While the concept holds promise, the execution leaves much to be desired, revealing the game’s age and design shortcomings. The core gameplay of Utopia City revolves around straightforward shooter mechanics with a focus on navigating virtual landscapes and engaging in combat with an array of enemies. Unfortunately, the combat often feels unrefined due to clunky controls and inconsistent AI behavior, which diminishes the sense of challenge and immersion. Level design suffers from repetitiveness, featuring large, empty areas that lack meaningful interactivity or visual variety. This contributes to a tedious gameplay loop where exploration feels more like wandering than engaging, and combat encounters rarely provide memorable moments or strategic depth. From a visual standpoint, Utopia City feels noticeably outdated. The textures are low-resolution, and character models appear blocky, which, combined with minimal environmental detail, results in sterile and uninspired virtual spaces. The lack of atmospheric effects further detracts from the immersion, making the game world feel lifeless rather than a dynamic digital realm. Complementing this is the audio design, which includes repetitive sound effects and voice acting that often fails to convey emotion or urgency, weakening the narrative’s impact and the overall mood of the game. Critically, the reception has been largely negative, with reviewers citing the game’s dated presentation and underwhelming gameplay as major flaws. Player feedback mirrors these sentiments, with many expressing disappointment over the lack of polish and depth. Despite the game’s intriguing premise, the inability to translate this into engaging gameplay or a compelling storyline has resulted in Utopia City being viewed more as a relic of its time rather than a worthwhile experience for modern players. In summary, Utopia City is a game with an ambitious concept hindered by outdated design and execution. Its blend of cyberpunk themes and virtual reality settings could have been an interesting backdrop for a gripping shooter, but technical limitations and lackluster gameplay prevent it from reaching that potential. For players seeking a polished, immersive first-person shooter, this title is unlikely to satisfy. However, those curious about the evolution of the genre or interested in experiencing a piece of gaming history may find some value in exploring what Utopia City has to offer, albeit with tempered expectations. Rating: 5/10

Очень заинтересовала данная игра и хотел поиграть. Но столкнулся с тем, что все заставки не отображаются. Просто чёрный экран, хотя звук есть. В остальном вроде бы игра рабочая. Даже полностью русская озвучка есть. Не знаю какой видео-кодек нужен этой игре. Нигде информации в интернете не нашел. Пытался починить ковыряя конфиг и свойства лаунчера. Ничего не помогло. Спустя час мне надоело, удалил и запросил возврат средств.

Ok so, aside from the fact that the game loves crashing if you want it to run in a better resolution or if you want to exit the game, the concept and feel of the game is alright.

The most unfair garbage i have ever played

Сама по себе игра неплохая. Графически она милая, геймплей бодрый и довольно веселый несмотря на некоторые проблемы со спауном врагов. Однако релиз в стиме сломан. Экзешник, без которого игра не запускается, антивирус видит как троян и сразу же без вопросов удаляет, и сама игра может зависнуть намертво. Стим-версия игры сломана, не знаю, как дело обстоит с другими версиями игры, но стимовскую ставить крайне не рекомендую. А жаль, игра как минимум интересная.

an unfinished proof-of-concept demo that has like 30 minutes worth of content stretched into ~2-3 hours at least it's not as bad as ReVOLUTION
