Z.A.R.

Z.A.R will put you in the shoes of a soldier from the future who is trying to stop an artificial intelligence that seeks to dominate planets with its abominable technologies and weapons. During the 33 missions, the protagonist is sent to various planets to put an end to this destructive creation. A few things to bear in mind before buying this game are its non-existent aim, which puts you in an atmospheric collection that is almost non-existent and hardly strategic, requiring intuitive aiming and often, in certain areas, the character's jump on the slightest occasion can injure you, once again leaving you to think intuitively about when to jump and when to walk a tightrope. However, its setting and its sound and atmospheric environment turn this unknown title into a reasonable 90s fps for the entertainment of lovers of the genre.

[h1] It have some nice features like destructible environment and utilizes advanced voxel engine for its time but when you compare this game to other classics like Doom it falls flat into the grave where it belongs with tiny skeletons, zombies etc. [/h1]

Z.A.R. is what happens when a 90s FPS, a tech demo, and a fever dream all jump out of a dropship together. You get huge empty maps, enemies that hit like trucks, ammo that’s always five feet farther than you want it to be, and a jump button that seems actively offended you pressed it. But hey, you can crater the terrain, juggle yourself with rockets, and blow up robots until the voxel dust settles. It’s janky, loud, and gloriously stupid. A perfect time capsule from the era of “We don’t know what we’re doing, but we’re doing it anyway". https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3606693884

This game is worth buying just for the soundtrack. Really good guitar riffs! The game is pretty fun too. The controls are actually very modern and responsive, and unlike many old games you can just jump in and play with no reading through manuals. It's simple shoot-em-up gameplay, and the graphics are blocky, but the terrain design is pretty cool and you can see it's technically very well programmed. They've achieved something worth playing even 27 years later.

I got a lot of enjoyment from this obscure and odd DOS game. The destructible voxel terrains have a unique otherworldly feel to them. 😌 How did this get on Steam? Has someone from Nightdive also played this from a demo disc 25 years ago? :) On my first playthrough, I got stuck after few missions, got frustrated and gave up. Then I gave the game a second go on my Pentium III retro PC (thanks for including the BIN/CUE, by the way) and it finally clicked. This is a rather unconventional shooter and you need to know a few things in order to enjoy it: • YOU HAVE A MAP, it's crucial for finding weapons and ammo and for not getting lost • the worlds are relatively small and wrap around • you can turn on the crosshair with backspace and you need to shoot in front of the enemies - all the projectiles are slow • read mission objectives - they're at the very bottom of the mission briefing page (use page down for quick scrolling), also F5 during the mission brings up the goals • play on easy - the difficulty is all over the place and even medium can be punishing • use regular jump - super jump should be used sparingly and its falling damage can be negated by landing into water or on a high ground, shooting some weapons can propel you when in air

Что для меня Z.A.R? Это кнопка "TURBO" и повышение тактовой частоты, это ЭЛТ монитор с далеко не плоской трубкой. В конце концов это мой первый 3D шутер на личном ПК. И играл я на каноничном пеньке MMX 200Мгц.

An odd FPS game featuring low gravity, voxel based terrain, robots that shoot projectiles and weapons that span between decent and awful in the context of usability. The planet terrain repeats itself so you can go any direction and make a trip around the stamp sized world while shooting robots. The music is good and the sprite art has a distinct style. There are about 33 different maps with variety despite being only outdoors. If you like boomer shooters then definitely pick this up, there's no need for any configuration except the graphic settings.

One word. Dosbox.

При виде таких игр возникает ровно одно желание. ПОГАСИТЬ КОМПУКТЕР НAXYЙ

А это игра прямиком из 90-х)) На каждом из многочисленных уровней, вам нужно будет сделать определенные действия (например, сопроводить конвой или уничтожить вражеские аккумуляторы), после чего появляется телепорт, прыгнув в который, вы перейдете на следующий уровень. Я рекомендую эту игру в первую очередь для коллекционеров и олдов, тем более она далеко не плоха... И, пользуюсь случаем, хочу сказать, что я делаю киберпанк музыку. Мой проект основан лишь на донатах, поэтому надеюсь вам понравится моя музыка и вы подпишитесь на мой канал! Или возможно, что ваши друзья интересуются подобными темами!! спасибо!!!
