Many of us are bound by some obligations, for example, or gambling, or women, or alcohol. But what happens when the protagonist encounters with demonic forces and "handcuffed fire"? We learn further in the review.

The game falls into the genre of RPG action so that every right step in this category must have an epic story based on saving the world. Therefore, it is not the same in this title, and from the outset adventure you are familiar with the situation in the world. Although this is a relatively brief acquaintance, you will learn everything important and therefore that the world is infected with masters of ice from the north, the undead and cities fall one after the other and can not be defend against this threat.

In light of these events is like trying mysterious monks called Red Scribes cause ritual, which would be able to reverse this disaster. These monks chose the place of the old ritual and strength as they need in him to concentrate all their strength, they hired mercenaries from the legendary group Freeborn Blades. This group is a relatively new member named Vulcan shoe that person during the game already reincarnated.

The story begins immediately after the show with the situation in the world and key persons. The hero Vulcan with his brothers in arms trying to defend the place of ritual under great duress undead, when in fact happens something strange and place the desired effect, the monks achieved something truly unexpected and Vulcan give new and powerful capabilities of handling the fire.

That said, where player game called transfer instructions, introduces him different fighting styles, ie namely hard and slow while fighting style with two-handed weapons, faster with two weapons at once, or ultimately magical style aimed to control fire the player thrown into this world whose survival rests on his shoulders and decisions. The story is thus typical clichés we've already played countless times to save the world from evil through the powerful and mighty.

Like any proper RPG, this game also contains a relatively large possibilities of character development thanks to three different trees, focusing on three fighting styles that can be combined during the fight. In the context of character development, it should be beyond reproach itself selection and editing characters at the beginning of the game. This selection is actually trimmed to a minimum and it is possible to modify the character of the hero and others as they wish, as is the case with other RPGs. There are only five preset options for skin color and six different hair types. By editing the characters end up, which is really very little. On the other hand, the action RPG at most of the time anyway player is looking at your avatar, but it is definitely less.

As regards the actual combat system, which is in this category of games is very important, he should be commended and works well. Style producers chose what is fun, fast, and in particular it is possible to create your unique combinations by investing in talent trees. Unfortunately there should be a slight reproach konzolovosť control, which would, of course, the PC can be executed differently, thus mapped to multiple buttons. This is not anything terrible and the idol of the genre itself, that Dark Souls is the same control, if not worse.

Graphically but is conferred somewhat weaker, it is seen that this game is being developed primarily for the previous generation of consoles, namely Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. In this respect, indeed there is no need to wait any visual revolution, but what should be on-screen instructions, it game handles.

A great addition to the game mechanics is to create different objects, specimens and weapons. This makes it possible, for example, modify your weapon to give more damage, respectively. armor that added with more lives and so on. This drive is easy and intuitive to operate. Any object that can be produced has different requirements for such production. Of course, for example. the handle of the sword will need iron ore, optionally skin to handle and so on. These materials can be found everywhere during play.

Part of that is worthy of praise is a conversational system, very similar to the Dragon Age series. This system allows the player to learn more about the world in which it is located, while it also has an impact on the course of the story, because the player's decisions are reflected in one of two different ends of the game.

On the whole, therefore, this is a fairly entertaining dose of games, which is seasoned with the hilarious battle system with three different options for improvements martial trees and interesting conversation system, which is not common in this category RPG. If you're a fan of epic expeditions into fantasy worlds, fighting and rapid improvement of your character in the game is not over increasingly argue with a clear conscience reach for this title. Although Bound by Flame is not known from any issuer, or from AAA study and does not even have taken a great marketing massage that resembles the game of this genre, which appeared recently, but has a lot more and that is the fun of this title. Therefore Snap out of his handcuffs and get on with this heroic expedition.

How do you call something robbing itself apart while the nejadná only the copying of intellectual ideas or gaming machine. This is a copy of the game almost 1: 1, which is not trying to sell as a completely new title! It is therefore self-plagiarism. And although we have a similar feats in the world of games and unfortunately almost wont Shooting from different titles in the RTS, it is really new. Welcome to zero innovation, welcome to Men of War: Assault Squad 2!

Let's therefore good order. The Men of War Assault Squad 2 is not a campaign in the true sense, but here is instead a system similar skirmish battles as in other RTS games. Thus, one can select from five different parties to the conflict WW2. Namely, these are Germany, the United States, the British Empire, the Soviet Union and finally the Japanese empire. It all sounds very good, the choice is really varied, at least ostensibly, but now back to reality.
Men of War Assault Squad Menu

Mission unfortunately are not only similar, but directly consistent with those for the other fraction. Thus, for example, in the first mission for the US must take part of the map, then show prestrihová animation, which will be destroyed by Allied tank and the game will offer you this tank repair and steal it. Lala him in the first mission for the Germans, which, however, takes place during the battle for North Africa there is the same situation and that is, the player conquers the part of the map, then appears prestrihová animation where the tank of your ally destroyed and you will be offered a repair appropriation of this machine. Really great, so that was not enough, some of these maps are taken already from the previous games Men of War Assault Squad, where the first mission in the US was on the same map as the second mission in the Assault Squad 2, namely in Normandy during the D day . I do not now just the same situation, so check out, but the same map with the same layout of buildings, soldiers, and just to all, that copy 1: 1, even with the same voice in speech, the Commander, which gives you the same commands, as in the previous parts!
Men of War Assault Squad

So innovative we point zero and even more below. Let's summarize but also other parts of the game. In principle, the game works on the same basis as its predecessor. Thus, the player starts on the map, which is littered with enemy units and always after the conquest of a certain part of the map was made available to the new unit, which the player can call for support. At the beginning of the map is therefore possible to call you only infantry teams, support teams, such as mortars and machine guns, then it is possible to summon support for light vehicles and, ultimately, tanks, or even aviation and artillery salvos. Depending on the selected difficulty is then derives the procedure on these maps, which will make the enemy attacks to have captured points, or the player that was tormented lightning counterattack, respectively. well coordinated offensive. This whole artificial intelligence and the behavior of units is not completely copied already from the first game.

Graphically the game looks almost identical to the previous work and there is no appreciable forward. The only corrections waited icons infantry teams, where orange, or yellow tape over their character sygnalizuje ability to deal with vehicles, so they carry a kind of form of anti-tank weapons, such as. German Panzerschreck or British anti-tank rifle Boys. Yes, this is the only real change from the previous episode! Mowas2 icon

Audio is well and where each faction has dubbed voices and various commands directly under the jurisdiction of their nation. This means that the Germans will speak German, Japanese will again use the Japanese language, and the like. This element, however, there is again no longer from the previous part. Nadôvažok, all voices used in this game are recycled as different from the previous work and even music in the opening menu is identical, respectively. copied from Men of War Assault Squad!

Men of War Assault Squad 2 is a disappointment and a colossal dimensions. Studio, which stands for the development of this game is no great AAA studio subsidized milionovej huge investments of its multi-million publisher, but this is really unforgivable. Selling the same game, with almost zero innovation, copying all files from previous work and selling de facto the same game, just updated to the new build is such a thing unheard of and be ticked off even before it was seizing other studies and other publishers . If you're a fan of strategies and the Second World War, so I prefer to buy the first episode, because Men of War Assault Squad is definitely worth it. If you have not already played or own previous works, so choose carefully if you want to invest a further circa 30 € to its exact copy.

The Western Front Armies.

It's been eight years since the original Company of Heroes, an epic way that we portray cruelty and heroism, which took place on the Western Front during World War II. Upon issuance of Company of Heroes 2 last year, we look for updates on the eastern front, which was still krvavajší as the West. But now again we return to the Western Front with the new addition to the game Company of Heroes 2, namely Western Front Armies. As the developers managed to get a return is indeed All Quiet on the Western Front?

Along with the release of the game came out circa 4 gigabytes patch that game adapted to the new factions from the Western Front. The game has therefore modified the reward system statistics. Thus, the already neodomykajú new enhancements unit, respectively. their visual modifications as masking or new commanders through leveling the player's account, but randomly after playing the game, either against a computer controlled opponent or another player (as was, for example, in the annulled Company of Heroes Online). At the same time, these improvements were divided into several categories according to their rarity from normal, through rare (blue) and it can be assumed that it will grow even further, a color which is known for example from RPGs. All previous unlock and enhancements that were achievable by attracting new levels of account statistics are for all those who owned the original Company of Heroes 2 made available.

Along with these changes also added further modifications of the basic look of the menu, which is completely rewritten collection system command trees and their abilities, respectively. visual modifications. You need to point to finish the current state, which is less clear, as in the original version COH2 and gives the impression of a temporary solution.

Let's not describe the actual game, respectively. two (old) new factions to join the fighting in the Western Front. This is notably the American United States Army and the German Oberkommando West. These two factions operate on different principles than the army Wehrmacht and the Red Army from the Eastern Front.

Let's get started Americans. Their base unlike other factions is completely constructed by the player and not have to worry about building new structures only when directly on the frontline, ie bunkers and trenches. US Army is therefore perfect for quick, expansive players who like the so-called "rush" tactics. Americans have a system advancement in the technology tree, which are borrowed from the British allies of the addition to the original Opposing Fronts Company of Heroes. That is, while the game from the beginning have built all the buildings for the production, respectively. calling a necessary unit, but not all are immediately accessible. For the continuation of imaginary tech tree is therefore necessary to call on the battlefield command teams that consist of chains of command of Lieutenant, later Captain and finally major. These cooperatives unlike the commanders of the British incarnation of this system is effective combat units and managed the fighting in the front line. Among the American war machine are legendary and known as machine M4 Sherman or less known M20 Utility Car, or M36 Jackson.

As for the new German version of the Western Front, thus Oberkommando West, which will also assume anything from the British from the original COH and it is specifically a system of building construction. The building and are thus, as with the pattern of their big truck, which can be spread over one of the sectors on the map. However, unlike those from the British sector can not provide, respectively. prevent his cast. At the same time nor may these jimmies after their re-distribution to pack and move to another point as in Opposing Fronts. The only way to have exploded the building in question is removed undermine and blow it into the air, which of course can have dire consequences for units located in its vicinity. This option Germans is difficult to play than the Wehrmacht, which appeared on the eastern front, or even the original of COH. The playing style is more like the German Army Panzer Elite, which also appeared in Opposing Fronts addition to the original game COH. Oberkommando West has a powerful fight monsters as Tiger II, thus Königstiger, or even the more powerful variant Jagdtiger. But it is in the arsenal of unconventional units as well as half-track vehicle with a reflector, which can detect the unit via the so-called. Fog of War (area where the map is not visible movement of enemy units), or perhaps even rocket Walking Stuka alternative half-track vehicle Sd.Kfz. 251st

Graphically, the game does not shift significantly from the basic issue Company of Heroes 2. It must however be noted that in RTS games are currently on the market, what is the visual side, effects, and overall impression of the actual battlefield tip and is ranked among the best achievements in terms of graphics. No need to progress further, because now the game looks stunning.

Audio site is also at a high level with the authentic sounds of weapons and vehicles. Also, the soundtrack is heroic and two new armies were born with music that superbly complements the right war atmosphere.

It is certainly necessary to mention the artificial intelligence computer in skirmish battles, which is paradoxically weaker than in the basic COH2. When playing against the CPU opponent mean a player is often felt as if he played against experts. Now, however, AI (Artificial Intelligence) more optimized and really difficult opponents to the above-mentioned Expert CPU. This optimization does not hurt and many newcomers to help you get into the game earlier because of frustration over "Defeat" screen should appear much later.

The only really large negative and complaint remains non-inclusion of a new campaign, respectively. Campaign for the two new factions. At one time it was customary that when the game was released expansion pack, is bringing with it all related, as well as new units of the army, but of course the single player campaign. There was not any different at longer times the said role model, thus adding to the original Company of Heroes, Opposing Fronts. The game then brought two new campaigns with full story in the British and German troops for Kampfgruppe that personified mish xmas divisions and battle groups that fought on the Western Front against the Allies and took the name of multiplayer Panzer Elite. Unfortunately, this period has passed and we are in 2014, when the trend to offer full price product which several years ago was certainly not complete.

Through its negatives that are non-inclusion campaign, respectively. confusing system adjustments and settings commanders in battles is Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies really hilarious return to the Western Front and displays fresh, though not entirely new view of the two armies that met there. It remains to hope that the developers from Relic Entertainment us serves up this addition also view the fighting in North Africa, respectively. in the far Pacific. So if you have fans of World War II and you like strategy, why not continue to delay and vhupnite directly in the fighting on the Western Front, as the game is self executable and does not require a fundamental Company of Heroes 2!

Story in Shadow of Mordor is nestled between trilogy The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. The story thus begins immediately after Sauron returned to Mordor after the expulsion of the fortress of Dol Guldur. Here, I would probably ended because I could many who read the book The Hobbit: There and back and looking forward to the last part of the film processing film The Hobbit thwart surprise. In any case, getting started, as shared by the rest of it is very brutal and very dipping into combat noise and desire for revenge protagonist talionis was turned into a few brief moments at the beginning of the game.

Combat System game that most resembles a combination of series Asassin's Creed and Batman: Arkham. Many attacks by jumping from mountain climbing buildings, for example, also withdrawal of the enemy from the ledge, as if dropped from the techniques of one of the killers of said first series. Conversely fights with rivals are more circumscribed by second series and Batman: Arkham who like Shadow of Mordor falls within the portfolio of games Warner Bros.

When fighting Thus a player uses a combination of buttons to attack, defense, the arrival of the stunned enemy and other special attacks as Execution, which should start at every eighth successful hit, without hitting any player's opponent (later can be improved even at every fifth intervene). Over time, the player acquires new skills that are unlocked either by the main storyline, or by obtaining power, that power. These points can then be obtained for example by means of side missions such as Power Struggles. Later, these new skills, for example, can be speeded up to three times as fast as the number of these combos are available, for example, or the possibility of the continuity combo counter after hitting an enemy player.

The main story line player transfer area of Mordor and meet here with various known characters, and vice versa with totally new, created especially for this story. We are, for example, meet old friends Gollum, or to Slovak translation of books Gollum, who will play in the plot also an important figure and the cause is that the player gradually learn more about the history of ancient elven warrior spirit, which shares a border police talion body.

The missions are divided into titles, which are marked with a yellow sign. These are then divided into those in which your task, for example, appoint SKURUT the same high post in the hierarchy, thus Warchief and weaken the power of Sauron's legions. Another type of main missions is simply aimed at bringing memories elven spirit, respectively. assistance to displaced people-who hide in Mordor against slavery.

Another type of missions that are generated randomly as already mentioned Power Struggles, where some commanders fighting Uruk-haiov against each other to obtain a higher post. For successful completion of these tasks the player gets points Power, by which after a certain number is unlocked another series of unique combat skills for the main protagonist. Among these there are interesting Vendetta mission where the player sends game to kill some place SKURUT commander, who at that point had murdered other players playing his own single-player missions. Also under these missions gets mentioned Power.

The last type of missions are called side quests, which are divided according to the type of weapons of our border guards and the role of freed slaves. For weapons, however, if it is a sign of the bow, the player gets the task to shoot his bow spectral certain number of enemies, respectively. if it is, for example, the character daggers and turn the player gets mostly tasked to kill a certain number of Uruk without sighting. For these missions the player gets experience points and a games menu Mirian needed to unlock new features.

Finally, the two maps that are roughly comparable in size to that of Batman: Arkham City are various places that when you find the same amount of reward player Mirian game currency or items that the player can never finding explore and discover their origins very similar way as in other parts Tomb Raider.

The game thus borrows many elements from various other popular AAA titles last year, which is not a bad thing. However, there are complaints that while Shadow of Mordor borrowed, respectively. inspired from many blockbusters recent years and has a variety of improvements in the combat system, or the weapons themselves, which bears the character talionis, he can not change its armor for better or. any way you customize the appearance by the player. Basically, the player has available only one skin (ie. Look) for talionis, the other two were only available for pre-order, therefore, Dark Ranger and Captain of the Watch. The range of adjustment of the main character, therefore the model behind their titles.

But let us return again to the positively because far outweigh any negatives. The game has already been mentioned as a mechanism unlocking new skills by statistics Power, which increases completing quests and killing stronger SKURUT, after the same number will unlock new council's devastating abilities. These skills are divided into two groups, those for Talionovu own form, thus Ranger form, including, for example, very helpful skills that stun the enemy snapped at, or faster charging combo scale. Then, to his partner as a spirit, so Wraith forms such devastating blanket thrown away all the enemies from the environment, or even teleport to the enemy that can be improved through the teleport with decapitation enemy. These individual skills are then released at a games menu Mirian a number of these new features unlocks always reaching new experiential level (XP level) than conventional RPG games.

Using gaming currency Mirian can buy, for example, the new interest in the runes Tallionových weapons, namely Urfa sword, dagger Acharn and finally bow Azkar. The actual runes are collected from commanders SKURUT, the basic rule in their lives, the stronger is the master, the more powerful rune issued after his death. At the same time, depending on how it is vulnerable, the commander, either close combat or ranged respectively. to attack from a backup using the rune daggers will have the similar properties. Thus, if the commander SKURUT vulnerable to hit in the head from a distance bow after his death therefrom player gets a reward for a run to the bow.

Finally, we come to the actual commander and unique Nemesis system, which was incorporated specifically into this game. I have to write that the system is indeed the spice of the game and makes it extraordinary. The system works on the basis if the player kills even ordinary Uruk, immediately after the offense is promoted between the lines masters Sauron's forces and give their unique strengths as well as weaknesses. The player then has the option to go, of course, to take revenge, but also to obtain from another commander, respectively. from random SKURUT located on the map information on these weaknesses, which could help in the destruction of the target. Individual commanders SKURUT each other constantly fighting for these positions, and often to change them. Thus, it is possible to operate with the system and install the higher place in the hierarchy of any enemy that the player will meet, respectively. will be easier prey, if it gets to the top of the rankings.

Middle-Earh: Shadow of Mordor is a great game that offers hours of fun for fans of the series Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. But it is also a great attraction for others who like games like Assassin's Creed or Batman: Arkham for its action-packed temper. This game is not only deserted beater, but also contains a rich story that appeared in the works of JRR Eliminated Tolkien and actually offers an amazing experience in Middle-earth. After audiovisual site also offers a game lag and sometimes very nice scenery and great musical accompaniment.

The term tensile RPG was once a very common and well-known, but in recent years, these games almost completely disappeared from the gaming scene. This year is fortunately again fruitful for this style and is experiencing a minor revival. How, then turned one such RPG from relatively unknown Daedalic Entertainment?

Right at the beginning, after selecting a new game in the menu, the player can choose either the simplified selection of attributes, or expert, according as it is familiar with the style board game The Dark Eye. In the selection of the division are three different professions, namely Warrior, Magician and Hunter. In addition, it is possible to choose from several preset face and sex. Already here, I have to criticize that particular types of female faces look sometimes very belligerent manner and at the same time from each other and a little different. Overall graphics page, especially dealing with details of the figure was weaker.

The second setting, ie expert player allows much more extensive treatment of the characters and follow the rules of points. Basically, a player has a choice to 10,000 points, labeled BD from which you can then has any assembly dream champion. At the outset, it must pay 500 if you want to have a magical character. After this selection opens a few talent trees, which can be additionally porozdeľovať points to a maximum of up to 14 properties, the talents and spells 8. However, while playing and later acquire new levels of these attributes can continue to accrue. Points can be reallocated in several areas, namely core values, Fighting talent, talents, spells, and finally special skills. It is important to all of these points divided as effectively as possible, because after creating new characters and the plot itself enters into all the remaining points are canceled.

The core values are called major modifiers in creating characters, namely strength, charisma etc., these in turn affect many elements such as the capacity of heroes, the number of lives, or the ability to communicate with the outside world and the characters in it. Between fighting talent then there are various weapons from daggers, crossbows over, after two-handed swords. By investing points into the player's weapons of course increases the attack or the defense of a given type of weapon, depending on how it is set. Among the talent is also possible to choose from nine different talents. For example, the ability of the trap, which allows the player to identify, considered, or even defuse traps or Ranhojičstvo, which in turn allows the player to heal from injuries. We walk the kids, which are of course only applicable if a player chooses a character magician. Spells are divided between the offensive and strengthening and debilitating. Found them quite a decent amount of fans and fiery, respectively. ice magic school here will surely enjoy. Finally, we get the special abilities, which are different upgrades for close combat, ranged or magic, or even passive abilities.

Edit character is indeed fairly complex and enthusiasts making such tailor-made nature of certain very pleased. Conversely, players who want to jump into the story as soon as possible to be able to circumvent these adjustments using automatic reallocation of points in the selection of the games.

Whether a player chooses to basic or expert mode, after completion of the selection starts intro and the player is familiar with the mysterious death of Princess Elanor. Here are gradually unveiled on different battle tactics such as moving figures after hexagonal boxes, or attacking. However, the main protagonists are caught in a stationary body guards pathetic Princess and cast him into prison. The initial steps of the story thus seek out of this place and the run will help the player and other figures rough dwarf Naurima and individually mage Zurbaran. Later, therefore, the player will control the widening of the characters, and it is therefore important to learn the capabilities and advantages make the most of the fight.

It should be noted that the combat encounters tend to be really hard sometimes, or vice versa, sometimes very simple. At times it can be unpredictable for the game, which depends on various calculations, attack, defense, and to recover the attack power of intervention, and the like. Another element is the very place where the fight takes place. You should be commended on one side of the creators, because these so-called arenas are interactive and can be, for example, to hide his magician for any obstacle from enemies and calmly zosielať healing spells at his comrades, or even drop, for example luster on unsuspecting opponents. On the other hand, sometimes these interactive game environment, they can do very easily, so will everyone else struggle and it's up to the player as will be careful to monitor the area in which the fight takes place and whether it will be able to benefit or not.

After deliverance from prison pending player main story line, which is of course finding a clarification of the death of the Princess, in which the main character was involved already. Later, however, the procedure of the story in five different chapters player looks at different places of the world and in addition to the main storyline is of course possible to perform a secondary task, which can be obtained, for example, also visited cities around the world.

As regards the visual side of the game is not any graphical champion, but what should be on-screen instructions, it handles. The environments are quite varied and dark stomp the player gets to the green meadows, respectively. in different forests or cities. After zooming in, however, and examining the details of the characters come often unpleasant experience, which is especially noticeable when prestrihových animation. The game simply can not cope with these details, but I must say that in this type of RPG is not a graphics page and so important.

Audio is contrary to the relatively high level of quality musical accompaniment and a good dubbing. The only thing you can criticize the common neprecítenie some situations Daberas (initial torture when choosing a female protagonist in the prison).

Blackguards is certainly an interesting title and if you're a fan of tensile RPG, or even know the style of the game The Dark Eye, you will not be disappointed. For other players, the game offers many hours of tasks in an interesting world where the most important temporize and think through each move before the player how to fix it. Playing on the other hand suffers quick repetetívnosťou and certainly not for hotheads who like to do so and then they think. Through it all, however Blackguards among the titles above average and certainly have their supporters and fans found.

Wasteland 2 is the direct successor of the older eponymous title Wasteland 1988. The original Wasteland inspired and helped to give the game the legend of the Fallout series. In return Wasteland 2 again draws inspiration from the early parts of Fallout, Fallout and Fallout therefore 2. These games are intertwined not only post-apocalyptic atmosphere civilization destroyed by nuclear threat, but the big names in the gaming industry RPG as Brian Fargo, or Chris Avellone . So how can this ambitious project?

Let good order, that the selection of a new game you can choose either of the pre-formed characters, or let go of the reins creativity and create the proper Ranger, according to your tastes. After creating the desired clubs and intro which is quite unnecessary and that includes images of low-budget B-movie, the game starts at the moment when the player finds himself at the funeral of his brother in arms, desert Ranger called Ace. Immediately after the player's train of four generals sent himself Vargas, commander of desert rangers to see the circumstances of death Ace. The player's group procedure already will grow to new members, where the maximum number of young men can be up to seven. When selecting characters to the suites is very important to the proper distribution of the various attributes of the control arms over medicine to control computers.

In this field the game is really comprehensive and there are clear traces of the previously mentioned greats golden age of tensile RPG games. Because the system is so extensive, yet let's go back to the formation of character. Unlike Fallout series are not statistics SPECIAL (for the simple reason that it has the rights to Bethesda Fallout brand after the purchase), but here is very similar system CLASSIC This system played Statistics Coordination, Luck, Awareness, Strength, Speed, Intelligence and Charisma. The basis of each of these player starts at level 3 and can improve it to the maximum level of 10. Each of these statistics affect other attributes of character development, for example. Strength increases the number of AP (action points) points on the bike, which means the number of different moves that the player can perform during his rounds with the subject figure, the number of lives the Ranger, but also the capacity of the whole group. However, this particular statistics needed for players who like embarking on their enemies on the head and the body properly. Thus, it is primarily intended for close combat. On the contrary, such statistics Coordination, in turn, is essential for players who specialize in ranged combat, as well as increasing the number of AP points on the bike, but also the percentage increases the possibility of hitting the enemy with ranged weapons.

In addition to these attributes is here yet different abilities, to which it is possible the selection of characters, but of course, an assignment to a new level of investment points. These skills are divided into basic, which include, for example, Barter, which will offer better prices from merchants or airline also Weaponsmithing, which in turn allows the improvement of weapons by various treatments. Another tree specializes in efficient use of various types of blunt weapons, through gun, to assault rifles and rocket launchers. Finally, there are third tree abilities, which include, for example, Lockpicking, which of course allows the player's retinue to get through various doors locked on. Or the Field medic, which in turn saves the player often bleeding partner and at least one member of her entourage would always be possessed. Finally, I mention one more special ability in this tree among others and Toaster repair by creators added before the recession, as for any true regardless of the game. This is because of the possibility of correcting toasting apparatus which can be found wandering in the world. On successful repairing such toaster can get interesting device, or sometimes complete waste. After completion of the selection capability can even create your character very well. You can customize the type of clothing, race, sex, portrait figures, or even religion. The so-called role-player is there is still appetizer, which you can put for a biography of his own character.

Let us go further, however, and the gameplay itself. As you move through the different parts of the map it is important to follow any objects in the area, since it is often possible to find a box or boxes that can hide new weapons, or other valuable items. The bottom left is always located skills identified player character in the middle is the perfect weapon to attack and AP relevant document, the right is very important journal to real-time highlights the various important objects or phenomena around player, which otherwise you can not even noticed. Finally, top right is transmitter with which it is possible to establish a connection to the ground and learn the necessary information about the role player currently on, or can even be due to give an example to capture a cry for help, and thus get the some of those side jobs.

Since the appearance of the same section of the map can go to the world map, which could be criticized its size, because it certainly could be greater. To move around the map consumed water supplies located in the lower right corner, but may be supplemented after finding so-called oasis on the World map or even after pumping water from wells, for example, at the base of the Rangers. At the bottom left of the dosimeter is then that player warns against excessive radiation-contaminated areas, which is in large doses, as otherwise, the player's retinue death. Also, there is also the possibility of radio link with the base.

The last and perhaps most important mode is tactical combat mode, which starts when faced with enemies. As Wasteland 2 is a turn based RPG, the player has enough time to rethink your stretégiu even before they take it. In this mode, the earth appear square boxes where orange is the maximum number of fields that character can move with respect to the number of AP points. Then the blue fields that represent the maximum number of traveled fields including the possibility of attacking and finally the red circle, which represents the player's range weapons. In this mode, as already mentioned are strategizing and planning ahead, namely the distribution of young men in the field, cover behind objects, charging firearms and taking care of the health game Alpha and Omega.

As the graphic page concerns the game can deny graphical beauty, because sometimes they look holdings, or even enemies expressly infantile. At other times, on the contrary holdings look and actually post-apocalyptic game and therefore the visual works a bit schizophrenic impression. After a page of music is still at high levels and audio superbly complements the atmosphere.

This year has been for RPG fans tensile quite prolific and Wasteland 2 is one of the games that are worth play, the more so if you're a fan of old parts Fallout, or other tensile RPG from the "old school". For other players, the game offers interesting tactical combat and a great system attributes and improvement characters. It applaud makers, giving them miserable after years of development finally managed to produce quality work is inspiring and a link to the golden era of tensile RPG. Therefore, we do not hesitate to step into the wilderness!

What if we went back in time to ancient times and watched as it looked, and took place in Europe during the domination of the Roman Empire? Exactly this thought occurred to developers from the studio Crytek, which incidentally is known for its futuristic Crysis series, or the first work of Far Cry. The idea is indeed not bad, since the period of ancient Rome in the gaming sector is not much explored area and can build on it in pretty decent foundation. But now the question arises what style games during that period would be? Crytek has so far worked only for FPS (First Person Shooter) games, namely First-person Shooter. When Ryse but decided that it will act on action rubacka third person a la God of War. At the same time Crytek agreement with Microsoft to exclusivity of this title only for new Xbox One. However, this is already past and game Ryse Son of Rome also appeared on the PC platform. So how does this trip to ancient times hit the screens of our computers?

The story begins during the siege of Rome and the Barbarians player assuming the role of Marius in Titus defender, at that time already highly decorated Centurion. At the beginning of the game through various tutorialových cutouts show the player what the options are fighting and combat execution. The actual combat system is fairly simple, one button which reflect enemy attacks, the second attack with the sword, and the third is to change doing lunges shield. Fighting execution is then performed after the withdrawal of a number of lives enemy character and appearance of the corresponding execution. After starting the execution, which is set by default to keyboard key E player must follow such color lights adversary and accordingly use a combination of mouse buttons. Let's say if the lights yellow, it normally lives right mouse button, that shield and lunge when the blue lights, it is usually the left mouse button, therefore, the sword attack. This combination is relatively simple and effective. However, if the player confused or misinterpreted a combination of these buttons execution takes place anyway. The only thing that happens is that the player does not receive the full amount of XP and Valor points for this execution. At the same time after each completed execution of an opposing player receives the same number of lives if he were deprived of some of the opponents.

But let us return to the story, which takes a while only about 6 hours, we will look at it but at different parts of the ancient world and have fought in different places of the then Roman Empire. The game will take us from Rome itself, through dense forests and beaches in the former part of the empire, which is Britannia, that is today part of England in the UK. Sworn enemy is here Boudica leader of the Iceni tribe who are fighting against the Roman occupation zone.

The campaign is presented retrospectively, so the player starts at the end and later finds out how it all evolved from the attack of the barbarians to Rome. Narrative sequences are flanked prestrihovými scene shows its quality CryEngine 3. You need to pick up not only the graphics processing temperature, superbly mastered ancient architecture, but also mimics shape and quality dubbing in these discussions. In this regard, Ryse actually acts as an interactive movie, and that's good.

What has, however, not so good is the actual combat system, which was already mentioned at the beginning. Because while it works, but is too simple and dull. In the beginning, we can take enemies, but later when the player learns their combat moves, so that they have counted. Sometimes surprise new enemies, who use two guns and trigger a flood attacks, or also those for whom change is not possible to cover the attack and must wince. From time to time in this variation shuffled even so-called bosses, thus stronger enemies on which to invent some tactics and not just mindlessly attack the left mouse button. Emancipation of stereotype offer even momentary sequences in the form of meetings for fighting fires volleys of crossbow and arrows to barbarians, or the strength of mining in the Roman Testudo formation, thus turtle. Despite these momentary extricating from stretotypu and monotony eventually emerges and is therefore only good that gaming campaign is longer.

As regards the system improvements, the course is here and it is therefore possible to improve a number of lives of our heroic Roman soldier, or even unlock a variety of new and devastating executions. On the negative side of this is the inability to modify your weapons and equipment Maria Tita by the player's tastes. Since the beginning of the game to the end, therefore, be able to carry and use only the armor intended for him with the Roman Gladius short sword and shield Scutum. This is possible to understand, because Legionaries were trained mainly with the weaponry. Through it all, however sad that you can not use any weapons povaľujúcich be around and more than a pity especially for those at a distance, thus lukoch.

Proportioned except main plot campaigns still offers the possibility of cooperative and multiplayer experience in the combat arena. This addition is interesting, because the arena is changing the design and it is possible here to take all combat executions, which are really the heart and the best what Ryse offers.

Game Ryse Son of Rome is a hack and slash action, which is charged with good ideas, but complete enough to finish. Abounds with really great graphics but also audio processing, which offers players a unique experience from the time of ancient Rome. All this, however, stands or falls on repetetívnych fighting and lack of diversity adversaries. If you are not a fan of ancient history and narrowed his eyes over some irregularities (eg. Length of Marius Gladius, or the size of the shield) while you enjoy this style of game we do not hesitate to plunge into the brutal fighting to save the Roman Empire against barbarian hordes!
