Veteran Combat

Making a retro-style fighting game with live-action sprites à la Mortal Kombat is not a bad idea at all. While the art style and the work on the sprites and animation shows some ambition and cohesion I can't say the same for the rest. For a game that was meant to be taken as a joke I find the character roster totally uninteresting (infantry man, officer, pilot, sailor, nurse, cabaret lady, etc) and find the presentation to be somehow silly. The worst part of the game is the combat itself which is broken because of the horrible hit detection. Also, there is just no way to counter a combo meaning you have no choice but to block until the whole thing has been performed. Even worse, you don't even need to learn the silly combo and special moves to be good at this game even when playing on the hardest difficulty. You can just use the same tactic over and over until you reach the end of the Tournament mode, which takes only 10 minutes to complete. Also, let's not forget its technical limitations : the game doesn't feature any fullscreen or widescreen mode! And it doesn't support gamepad neither which is a shame for a fighting game. Basically, what you see on the store page is what you get. Veteran Combat is nothing else but a silly game that was meant to be played as a joke. It might entertain you during the first 10 minutes but not beyond. See for yourself : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twF7PFidJvM Rating : 2.0 / 10

Hay quien piensa que "Mortal Kombat" era un buen juego. La peña ya no se acuerda de cuando, a principios de los 90, era la única máquina en los salones recreativos que permanecía vacía cuando todas las demás estaban ocupadas y con colas. O lo mismo es que yo viví en una ciudad rarita con jugadores aún más raros. Sea como fuere, "Mortal Kombat" fue un juego con una cierta dosis de originalidad, en tanto que fue uno de los primeros en usar imágenes digitalizadas de guerreros (con el permiso del "Pit Fighter", y los muñecos digitalizados del "Chinese Exorcist"), combinándolas con dosis notables de gore sádico. Vale, y la música no estaba nada mal. Dicho esto, "Veteran Combat" se nos revela como una versión sepia, aderezada con un filtro "vintage", del "Mortal Kombat". Un juego creado por húngaros, con un presupuesto ínfimo, una absoluta falta del sentido del ridículo, y una calidad que oscila entre lo pordiosero y lo pastillero. Porque, en efecto, "Veteran Combat" es un juego de baja estofa, en donde libraremos combates 1vs1 o por equipos con personajes caracterizados en la época de la 2ª Guerra Mundial, no sin antes haber pasado por la mente de algún diseñador sobrado de heroina en las venas. Un pastiche de dificil digestión que es tan malo, que te acaba haciendo gracia. Personajes surrealistas, animaciones de pocos fotogramas, caracterizaciones absurdas, escenarios cuasi-estáticos, paleta de colores infrautilizada, banda sonora mondonguera, combos delirantes y, en general, una física tan inverosímil como desquiciante. En otras palabras, un "Mortal Kombat" de Europa del Este. Recomiendo su compra a todos aquellos energúmenos sobrados de $ o € en sus carteras que deseen contribuir al desarrollo sostenible y tecnológico de la industria del videojuego húngara. Quien sabe, lo mismo de aquí a pocos años, son capaces de realizar algo de calidad.

[h1] Grotesque[/h1] This is a very specific and at the same time very unique brawler which in its silliness or perhaps grotesqueness is carved out quite reasonably Each of the characters is a living person - records - then thrown into the game, but as if that wasn't enough each character represents some type of fighter - a stereotype of who he is - an inflated boobed neo-Nazi lala like from old porn movies or a nayebrous marine. As for the combat system, it's quite simple and not very sophisticated - there are no spectacular combos, the whole fight is rather focused on simply beating the enemy quickly. And here is the biggest drawback - the game doesn't support a pad and the controls are hopeless, with no way to change them. Can I recommend ? I don't know - the game is relatively cheap, so you can try it, but at the same time it's so disposable that I don't really know what for - it quickly gets boring and stops being fun, and in the long run has no chance because of the simple system.

Some devs finally made a game with 404 mb to install.

This is a game that atempts to be mortal kombat without the blood or finishers. The animations are smooth but the controls are horrid with no controller support . Remapping your controlls is a tedious task in and of it's self as you have to got into the second players keyboard settings to make sure they aren't already taking of the keys you want for player one and remap them first. So, you may want to pass on this one.

Very nice idea ruined by very poor controls. Not remappable, no contoller support. So sad (

Interesting art style, but not a good (fighting) game in any way.
