Vaporum: Lockdown

I really thought giving this one a thumbs down. The main reason being that the ration of puzzles you have to complete is sky high. Compared to the first game, this takes the whole new level, I would say, is about for every 1 fight there will be 2 puzzles you gotta solve afterwards. And many of them are not even fun, requiring a lot of going back and forward to solve them, it just takes so damn long to complete. A year may have passed since I played the previous game, but Lockdown felt too tedious to get through, I do like it a bit (not as much as the first) since it does keep the same gameplay. I liked the first half, it may have been filled with puzzles but they did not require as much going back and it kept things simple, but ohh boy as more you get through the story the more levels/zones you will unlock, and some objectives require you to go through them, and not just once. Also, most puzzles are the kind which kill you after 1 mistake or two, so, Quick Save and stop time feature will be your BFFS in this game. Like I mentioned, it does keep mostly of the same gameplay from the first game, many enemies will be similar, much of the tech tree is the same, even graphics look very close to each other. However, the gameplay does feel smoother compared to the previous. I do like that since it keeps a nice, smooth progression through the games, after all, both take place in the same tower. If you really enjoyed the first game, then sure grab it, but take this 1 with a grain of salt, if not put it in the backlog, behind Grimrock, Might & Magic, Eye of Beholder and even some of those anime style ones like Etrian Odyssey. Heck if it wasn’t for the tedious puzzles I would fully rec. this game, some really suck; there are plenty such puzzles in the second half, I got through it by using walkthroughs at this point. BTW, make sure you save up on your repair kits, the last boss is a hp magnet (or at least it was for me cuz I had a tank build), additional enemies spawn and has some big AOE attacks, you will get hit!

Good game like the first one and others of the same type. By the end of the game tho, maybe I was just tired when I played but some puzzle I needed some help with, had to cheat a little to find some of the solutions cause I was stuck. The end was meh. Still would recommand cause not many games of this genre.

There are many better puzzle dungeon crawlers than this one. But Its still worth a play if you like the genre.

10/10 Great fun.

Si te gustó el primero juegalo, no tiene mucha novedad pero esta guay

Pretty decent sequel, nice old school dungeon crawler

I enjoyed the original Vaporum as a grid-based dungeon crawler that scratched that Legend of Grimrock itch. This game is more of the same. Recommended.

Super hra, ale musel jsem použít návod :)

- So fun to play, rating 93/100

We need more fine games like Vaporum. Im waiting for a new Wizardry 8 ;-)
