Vaccine War

Games for Tutti is a Valencia, Spain based development company. Vaccine War is their first game but what is most impressive is that it is also the first game to use their specialized tool that saves time animating pixelart. This tool is called the Magic Pixelator. They claim that with this tool they can create animations of 20 frames in just a few minutes rather than being forced to spending significant time drawing each and every pixel. The characters within the game demonstrate that they were able to create fantastic character animations that feature particle effects such as fire and smoke as well as the game’s environments. This is a great achievement for a small studio that is made up of just four full time employees and a collaborative team of two others. Their game, War Vaccine is set during the Spanish Civil War but is a completely fictional tale. This is a setting that doesn’t often get portrayed in video games and as such it gave me a reason to be interested in the game before I began as well as checking out their new software tool. I can tell you that although I am yet to complete the game that I am thoroughly impressed with my exposure to the game. It uses the Unity engine but it’s so much more than your standard indie throwaway game made with it. There is solid production value throughout the entirety of what I have experienced thus far and I have yet to run into any bugs. That’s not to say there aren’t weaknesses with the game because there are but rather that I appreciated the game as its whole. What I will pinpoint as the primary weakness in the game is the combat. The combat system has a lot of potential but it needs work. It’s simply not as precise as what it needed to be. Your attacks will have the appearance that they should be connecting but for some reason they do not. This is generally with the melee weapons but can extend through to guns and range weapons. This makes the cool abilities such as running attacks and jumping attacks very frustrating to use as you’re just never sure if or when the attacks will actually land and play as intended. I would also dearly like to see the dev team add achievements to the game. It’s a game that would do well with achievements for reaching certain points in the game and maybe arbitrary ones such as number of enemies killed, etc. Trading cards would also make for a nice addition to the game. But it’s really the artistic flair that shines through here. It’s a perfect prototype game that demonstrates to other studios that their software tool has tremendous value moving forward. I would like to see what the team can develop next and whether or not other developers consider purchasing the right to utilize the Magic Pixelator in order to give their games a big boost in the quality of its animated pixel graphics.

This one was a tough call for me. The music is awesoem. I love the way it changes when youre in combat. The environments are really nice and just pleasant to be in. The story didn't do much for me but it was above average for a videogame I suppose. The graphics are really pretty. I love the way the plants sway back and forth. Little touches like that are great. Unfortunately what brought the game down was the combat. A lot of my attacks didn't connect even though my weapon was right on the guy. Gunplay was slightly better but it seems like it was designed for a controller instead of a gamepad. It also felt like the bad guys barely reacted to being shot which was kindof lame. I wouldn't recommend it at this point but if theres ever a free demo I'd recommend giving it a try.

Jump Stab, shoot and sprint your retro-Russian across pixelated landscapes. Great music. Interesting setting. Really, really fun! https://youtu.be/SrsKpgxW3HM

Was really hoping to like this one. Pixely 3d graphics are awesome and I don't think I've seen a game with this art style ever. Could use a bit more smoothness of animation but thats a minor thing. Too bad the guna and hand to hand combat is clunky and unfun. The dialogue is a bit weird too like english wasnt the writer's language.

Vacuna inesperada. Actualmente, juegos de temática bélica tenemos a montones, pero fue muy grata la sorpresa de conocer este Vaccine War y su ambientación ubicada en la guerra civil española, ya que es un periodo que apenas hemos tenido la oportunidad de experimentar en los videojuegos. Los trailers ya dejan entrever una interesante combinación de aventura y misterio que a mi parecer resulta de lo más atrayente, ¿un samurái con los nazis por tierras españolas, por qué no?, y en los primeros compases del juego, las secuencias de la historia ya mandan destellos de una trama elaborada, que va más allá del conflicto bélico en el que se centra. Tras dedicarle tiempo, jugar y experimentar durante los primeros escenarios, llama mucho la atención el apartado gráfico, sobre todo por un colorido que aviva cada escenario por donde transcurre la acción. El sistema de coberturas me resulta de gran acierto y otorga dinamismo a los combates, logrando un buen equilibrio en su dificultad. Los jefes finales poseen carisma y tienen una dificultad bien medida. Recuerda a los viejos clásicos donde aprender el patrón de movimiento del enemigo resultaba vital para ajusticiarle como es debido. El juego funciona muy fluido y hasta lo que he visto está carente de fallos. Los diálogos los encuentro bien narrados, cuanto menos, en castellano. Y todo esto acompasado por una banda sonora de lo más rica y original, que no pasa en absoluto desapercibida. En definitiva, un soplo muy fresco a los juegos de acción bélica y a los amantes del género, que no tenemos la suerte todos los días de que los creadores nos premien con dosis de originalidad en su trama y ambientación. Para mí, un gran acierto.

Me está gustando la experiencia. Muy interesantes las mecánicas de coberturas. Tenéis mi voto :)

Lo recomendaria? Por supuesto, por los siguientes motivos: 1) Nos encontramos ante juego de plataformas con elementos en tres dimensiones y unos graficos que me recuerdan a los juegos de antes. 2) El sistema de coberturas me gusta, intuitivo y divertido. 3) Dificultad adecuada. Me han matado varias veces ya, algo que no se ve en los juegos modernos y que echaba de menos. En cuanto a la historia, no puedo decir mucho, lo acabo de empezar, llevaré una hora y media, cuando me lo pase actualizare la review para comentarlo. Al principio me ha costado hacerme un poco con los controles pero en 10 minutos ya estaba disfrutando del juego. Me hubiera gustado jugarlo en linux, pero para eso hago dual boot en mis ordenadores jajajaja. Lo he probado en dos configuraciones diferentes: 1) El equipo de sobremesa: i5 de 4ºgeneracion ,16gb ram, y una NVIDIA GTX 770 4gb, y 2) en mi portatil: Un i5 de 2ºgeneracion 4gb de ram y la grafica integrada (Una intel hd3000). En ambos casos ha ido perfecto, y eso que dudaba que mi portatil lo hiciera funcionar de manera estable pues carece de grafica dedicada. Tambien he probado a jugarlo con teclado/raton y un mando de Xbox 360 que tengo por casa, en ambos casos impecable. Este fin de semana lo probaré en una APU A10-7870k que monté para mi pareja, pero vamos, funciona seguro. Como he dicho antes, actualizaré la review para dar mis impresiones finales cuando me lo pase. A disfrutar!

Holy crap this game is bad. The dialogue is laughably awful and cliche'd. The beginning is extremely slow and boring, the controls even on a 360 controller with the duck and cover and aim system all mushed together make you have to hold the most awkward controller positions together. All the enemies look the same, the plot doesn't really make sense or feel believable, and to top it all of there's this menacing stereotypical bad guy all "grrr my evil plans to mess with the city" crap while in a samurai suit of armor... in Spain... in the 1930s... Yeah I'm done.

[h1]Vaccine War est un jeu d'action-aventure à monde ouvert produit par des développeurs indépendants espagnols, sorti très récemment puisque le 21 mars 2016 sur Steam. Traversant des paysages :variés, tels que des villes, des forets, des grottes, et bien d'autres, qui sont plutôt bien dessinés mais qui je trouve collent pas très bien avec le style trop pixelisé des personnage. C'est à vous d'en juger.[/h1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75PYMJXlAyk Il est important de noter que le jeu bénéficie d'une compatibilité manette, qui permet une bien meilleure jouabilité, le descriptif Steam parle uniquement d'une compatibilité avec des manettes de Xbox 360 mais ça marche également avec des manettes de PS3. L'histoire du jeu, bien que fictive, parle de la guerre civile espagnole dans les années 1930, ce qui rend le jeu intéressant d'un point de vue historique. Le héro, appelé " Daniel " est vétéran Prussien de la première guerre, ayant tout quitté pour une paisible vie de fermier, jusqu'à être rattrapé par le passé. La sortie du jeu étant très récente, il est normal d'y rencontrer des bugs et des imperfections, c'est justifiable pour une version bêta. Ainsi, le système de combat est plutôt compliqué mais réfléchie. Des objets, tels que des tonneaux ou des roches, sont laissés à des endroits stratégiques afin de parer les balles des ennemis. Munitions qui sont précieuses d'ailleurs, puisque les ennemis en lâchent très rarement. Un grand problème aussi, mais c'est peut-être une stratégie de jeu est le point de sauvegarde, représenté par une boite aux lettres, qui se trouvent tous répartis dans des endroits éloignés les uns des autres, donc dés que vous mourrez bêtement, vous devez re-traverser une énième fois la map, re-tuer les ennemis qui y sont présents, ce qu'est assez frustrant. Vaccine War coûte 8 € en temps normal, ce qu'est abordable et raisonnable pour un jeu de cette hauteur, mais il ne vaut pas plus, du moins pour l'instant.

BugZy's Review: Vaccine War - Experience a brand new platformer/sidescroller experience! The following is my opinion. Vaccine War is a brilliant little game set in the 1930’s where you play a Prussian war veteran named Daniel. The general gist of the story is that Daniel tries to escape the terrors of war by settling down in a farm in Spain to live a peaceful and harmonious life, only for it to break out where he lives. His main goal is to find and take back his daughter from whoever took her (whoops, spoiler alert) and find out why whoever invaded his farm attempted to kill him (whoops, again!) Trying my best not to spoil what I have already spoiled about the game lore, the above paragraph is about the whole backstory. You must fight the bandits and different armies within the country to get to your objectives around the map and ultimately, try to live in peace and harmony again. There is game dialogue that you can read if you want to which adds to the feel and emotion of the game. If you aren’t interested in that sort of thing, however, you can skip it easily. I recommend reading it though! The game has its own unique play style, where you move between the ‘layers’ of the map. Daniel is such a good citizen that he literally can’t jaywalk. The reason for that is because there are preset paths that guide you around the map and you cannot move outside of them. This can sometimes be tedious and slightly annoying, but also makes the game different from other games of the genre, a new experience definitely worth trying. The combat system Vaccine War uses is new to me and as a new experience, I enjoy it a lot. Hiding behind the cover of a crate or rock and peeking out with your loaded gun or grenade to attack your enemies with whilst utilising an angle-based aiming method is a big plus for me! You must take down riflemen, grenadiers and CQB experts with guns, grenades and knives before they take you down, or you die. Not for good, though, as long as you interact with a mailbox every time you see one you should be fine. The bosses of Vaccine War are a good challenge as each of them have their own combat style (one throws barrels, one throws grenades and I won’t spoil the rest) but can be easily defeated if you get your timing right and find their weaknesses! The visuals are also unique, 2D and pixel-based with a healthy amount of 3D models involved (like houses, fancy awnings, fences, bridges, etc.) The different parts of the map introduce different colour palettes and objects such as cover for you to hide behind in a combat situation (as stated above) and enemies controlling different parts of the map. The game features some nice acoustic music which turns hardcore if you find yourself in a standoff with an enemy and sound effects that you would expect from a game with guns and grenades. The music that plays is different for the different parts of the map but also plays on a loop so it can sometimes get repetitive. If it does get on your nerves you can turn it down in the settings and turn on some music, maybe hip hop or electro, whatever floats your boat! All in all, Vaccine War is a new experience and something I would definitely recommend to people who enjoy platformers/sidescrollers and/or wish to try something new! Vaccine war has earned a score of 8/10 dingos.
