And once again, fixed camera angles and "invisible boundaries" ruin the experience. The combat relies on you running around the enemy dodging his shots and when your AT meter loads up, you can shoot or use an item. But they get even worse during battles, oh dear lord. Not only they make figuring out where objects and doors are (sometimes they're angled at a way where you CANNOT SEE THE DOOR, so, again, you must run head first into every fucking wall tapping x in hopes of a screen load). Sure, they look neat, but they're utterly counter-productive towards the gameplay. What makes this even more annyoing is the extremely shitty, fixed camera angles (ala Resident Evil). Yes I ended up running around a whole locations three times before I found the fucking 10 pixel big cupboard containing a key obscured by other stuff in front of it. So the game basically boils down to entering rooms and then running around in circles hugging each wall and obstacle madly tapping the "use" button until something hopefully happens.
And, to top it off, unless you stand PRECISELY in front of an object, you cannot use it. Containers that are often obscured by other objects and make up a whopping 10 pixels on the screen. Containers that are not distinguishable from the background (they are part of the background). Finding keys an items in obscurely located containers. The game revolves around walking about finding keys and items to progress forward. There's at least ten different things wrong with the above screenshot.īut the writing is just the beginning of the frustration. It's like "I will go in and save my son!", "don't, you will burn!", "oh, ok, lol!" Jesus. It really assumes the gamer is a retarded high school drop out.Īside from that, the dialogues between the characters are just terrible - apparently the in-game characters are retarded high school drop outs too, using simplistic sentences, repetition and flawed logic. I mean, come on, you don't need to repeat that Mellissa took fucking medicine in EVERY SECOND SENTENCE, we kind of get the point. Secondly, the game is overly explicit, throwing everything right out in the player's face, at least five times. Firstly, the whole game plot and "the big twist" is obvious from the first 10 minutes of the game ( oh noes Aya and Eve are connected and Aya is the only one who can save the planet, surprise surprise).
The story actually had some potential to be really interesting, with it's pseudo scientific approach and development, but is utterly ruined by the horrible writing and revealing of information. The writing is horrid, the gameplay repetitive and frustrating, and the end game boss sequence is one of the most annoyingly unfair experiences I've ever had. and dear god, it's one of the shittiest games I have ever played.
