Yar's Revenge

As is typical on-rails shooter one can expect , honestly its more than that. If it is not the first time your entrance in the Yar's revenge franchise, then it definitely is your kinda game. Honestly, gameplay is simple as alien shooter and you control yar's to take your revenge on the colonies of insects. The final queen's boss is Queen ratkamalina. It comes with mere 6 levels with not more than 15 minutes of gameplay per level. But still if you wanna get that comical feeling of what lies ahead and how does the plot goes by unleashing itself, than keeping aside simple on-rails shooter, its worth to witness the final moments of the yar's saga and complete your collection. If ever atari decides to release another yar's in yar's universe. Ahhh, pardon my emotions. I just liked the game, that's it.

Yar's Revenge (Remaster) - Wow, I mean wow, I have never taken to disliking a game right off the the get-go, but wow, I can honestly say this feels WRONG in every sense of word. The installation and configuration seemed real, for lack of a better, unrefined, literally to get into the configurations it brings up a command line interface, which just screams to me someone did not think this through. In game experience is just as bad, graphics are not too bad, concept seems off from Yar's Revenge, but has just enough of the original feel in the story line (which feels fully fabricated), but as I said, just enough to where I could continue on. Here is where is truly went of the rails for me, who in their right minds thinks these controls up, mind you I am keyboard player and often I expect some challenges with said configuration, you get use to is as you work through them (think Parallax Software - Descent), but, OMG they are so bad, at I have a Razer Naga Mouse, and the sensitivity is whack to say the least, after several changes to adjustments, it still was fairly unplayable, WASD controls work okay, but the quickness (and I was playing on the easiest setting) of the the enemies does not allow for any real control if your trying to shoot said enemies and dog any counter attacks (I died during the training, which has never happened to me....ever, guess I should be ashamed, but I am not). Unfortunately I cannot recommend this game at all. All the way around it feels rush and someone wasted the good name of a great old 2600 game to put out this garbage. I am sorry to be so harsh, but I expect better from Atari, I have been a faithful fan for many a year, but, I cannot in good conscience tell ANYONE to pick this up for any price.

Yar's Revenge is a remake of the original 2600 classic Atari game. Which is...nothing like the original game. It's a rail shooter similar to Kid Icarus Uprising flying scenes. Controls are overall okay. Game is medicore at best and some of the hit detection on yourself and foes are somewhat "off". I think that what really hurt this game is that was too short and it's story. The game has a bland medicore story but the problem with the story is it shown while in the game play itself. Which is fast pace. The problem herein is that it's entirely in TEXT. No voice overs what's so ever. The text scrolls by fast and trying to avoid to get hit, it's really hard to pay attention to it. If they were to provide voice overs, I could def enjoy the story more. Graphically, I love that old school art work give and feel of an atari game like you see in the arcades (Centipede for example). With some polishing the game could be even more fun. Sadly, this game bombed and so did the company that made it (Killswitch). So we'll likely never see that ever happen. I don't really see this as a reboot in anyway with some exceptions of shout outs graphically like your shield or one of the bosses you face in the game. IF you like railshooter and this is on sale, sure get it. You'll get a good couple hours of it. The cheevos are also very challenging to get. If not, there are far better shooters out there.

plays well on deck.

Crappy controls and you can't change them

Yar's Revenge is a well thought out on-rails shooter which has a lot of style. It has 6 levels and at the end of each level a player has to defeat a boss. It has a small variety of enemies and I don't see a reason to market this point in the description: - "Upgrades and RPG elements - Gain experience while customizing your armor and weapon abilities" , because there is nothing like that avaliable in the game. I liked the overall atmosphere and concept art-like cutscenes, although they were going too fast to appreciate the art and read the dialog properly.

Это одна из моих самых любимых "простеньких" компьютерных игр. Драйвовый рельсовый шутер с симпатичным оформлением (ну, может кроме первых двух уровней), незамысловатым, но очень динамичным игровым процессом, особенно во второй половине. Красивым артом, дизайном уровней и сложностью она меня и привлекает. Плюс, не шибко продолжительна (то, что мне нужно, у меня нет десятков часов на "погружение" в игру, как раньше). Всего 6 уровней, с боссом в конце каждого. Пальцы по клавиатуре танцуют только так :) Кстати, рекомендую играть с клавой и мышью, с ними удобнее целиться/уворачиваться, хоть игра и задумывалась под геймпад. Было бы здорово увидеть её на Android, хотя слабо представляю, какое там могло бы быть управление. P.S. Игра сперва запустилась в окне и со слабым разрешением, но это было легко исправить в файле Appsettings (\Steam\steamapps\common\Yars Revenge\win32)
