Developers of the whole world complain that players do not understand their innovative ideas, innovations and highlights laid down in the gameplay. Only frankly commercial projects are popular. Even wonderful Civilization 4, Having received high grades from the game press, adopted by old fans of a thoughtful gameplay, did not receive wide recognition from the gaming community. But in the Asian expanses, actively, if not violently, the average, in terms of execution, games, with each new addition and continuation, increasing the level of quality and audience of fans are developing. “Japanese” role -playing games and action are distinguished by non -membrane blows, linear (noted, sufficiently powerful) plot and charming heroes – sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes kind, and often with odious.
Veni, Vidi, Vici
Onimusha 3: Demon Siege Winner Casino revoir – main console blockbuster of last summer. Not so long ago, the port of this game appeared on the RS. For sales Onimusha 3: Demon Siege collected about two million copies. True, the indicator is consolidated – in all platforms. But the dispersion of the game and its popularity among fans of the series is not a sign of genius and the highest quality of the game product. And the reputation of the publisher far from the first echelon forced to relate with prejudice to this Title from Capcom. So, from dry statistics we will move directly to the review itself.
Form. Jacques Blank.
The plot of the game is based on the confrontation of the star of the original, console version – SamanoSuke Akechi – and Nobunaga Oda – Lord Demons. The continuation of the epic saga about the endless confrontation of good and evil begins today in Paris, and it is here that we first meet the hero Jean Renault. The peaceful calm of the city of love is violated by the hordes of demons, who appear from where and begin to kill people, destroying everything in their path. Jacques, along with other statistas soldiers, are trying to repulse hellish offspring, but modern weapons are ineffective against evil forces. All Paris is on fire, and the game is transferred 500 years ago to Japan. The combined detachments of the Akeshi clan already at the threshold of the monastery, and Samanoske Akeshi (name + name of the clan – all in the traditions of the best houses Tokyo!) goes to the rescue. A beautiful starting video is played, and then the game itself begins directly. Basic gameplay Onimusha 3: Demon Siege It resembles the first part of the player: we still chop the zombies of the hips to the right and left, collect their souls, sometimes we turn into “Onimusha”, pump weapons and armor, solve simple puzzles. However, the combat system has become much more interesting in comparison with previous versions – there are many different blows and techniques.
The enemies in the game are not very diverse, periodically give us the opportunity to fight the bosses – only a little advanced models of ordinary adversaries, but the exciting and balanced gameplay does not allow to get bored.
You can not love the prefix, and have a gamepad – must
I just want to say one capacious word about management – cotton wool. Even in Readme, “caring” developers recommend using a gamepad. If you are a fan of the keyboard and/or do not have the financial opportunity to buy the “best PC-Gamer weapon”, then you have to disappoint you: in order to perform a critical blow and cut the enemy in half, you need to catch the moment and quickly press the necessary combination of buttons, and on the keyboardIt is not always possible to do this on time. The enemy, meanwhile, can run away or carry out a crash combination.
Love – love, play – so play
Graphics in the game for prefixes at the level, but for RS it does not reach the modern bar, but still looks quite good if you do not pay attention to the muddy textures. The engine uses pre-calculated camera angles and the background pre-rendering. But a hurricane gameplay will not give you time to look at all the shortcomings, and instead you will spend some exciting evenings behind this game. The absence of bugs is also pleased. High FPS indicators – the result of engine optimization. Not only does it work with new technologies and bells and whistles, but also quickly works on old cars. To say about the training grounds?! There, two or three in the frame. Animation? Present. The fact is that all manpower action, regardless of their budget, always differ in integrity. Either a frank thrash, or a completely high -quality game. Onimusha 3: Demon Siege – Good Title. And the same sound design confirms this.
No wonder the Japanese created a new direction in art – extremely additive and psychedelic game music. Yes, musical accompaniment Onimusha 3: Demon Siege Far to magnificent Final Fantasy, But you can listen without shudder. That’s just too unusual for the ears of the average Russian.
Final comments:
All fans of the series are recommended to be purchased (although without our recommendations they have already bought, probably), and people who have never played products with label Onimusha, We advise at least try. All in all, Onimusha 3: Demon Siege it turned out quite a worthy continuation of the series. It can be classified as a must have.
Gameplay: a well -balanced gameplay in the best traditions of Japanese RPG, only adjusted that this is no less high -quality Japanese action.
Graphics: interesting levels, good models of the chief heros, good textures, but atavisms of the prefixes are visible everywhere – there are lubricated, it is blurred here. Say: “mediocre!” – undeservedly. Say: “Great!” – especially.
Sound: delight for the ears of the Japanese/Chinese/other Asian. We are the joy that at least not wiped rock or rap.
