At the time, the original Dead Trigger seemed to many a breakthrough among the games on mobile devices due to its excellent picture. Indeed, everything looked almost as large platforms seemed to have only bring to mind the flow of the plot, polished gameplay and here you are, you get a full-fledged zombie shooter. In the second part of the developers tried to fix all the flaws, but to no avail.

The game begins promisingly enough, because the change of the commonplace set of missions came more or less intelligible full-fledged campaign. You will now move forward on the subject, at the same time having the opportunity to have fun in the optional missions for the sake of monetary compensation and drawings of weapons. The campaign is unlikely to be able to surprise a man who had seen more than one movie about zombies, because Madfinger offer players a completely standard set – looking for and saving the survivors, collect them in a shelter, which we will provide supplies to guard against hordes of the living dead of every possible way to improve instead of using the services of the inhabitants. Oddly enough, not gratuitous.

Survivors who helps the protagonist than the much – medicines manufactured, master of weapons found at the drawings on the black market all sorts of bonuses like experience boosters get, but they only do it only for the money, but in the case of the black market – for real.

As the story progresses it turns out that in addition to the standard American resistance forces engaged in an unequal battle with the ghouls and in no less than the standard Africa, winning the zombie is not something that the city, the whole country, so that you do with other survivors there and the road. Moreover, in order to fight off the zombie particular city or country to destroy millions of zombies for additional assignments. In the set-off is the total number of homicides among all players and as the release of some cities in the Dead Trigger added two others. 

Jobs in Dead Trigger 2 is not too intricate, basically they require the player to collect scattered throughout the map key objects, activate switches, hold the position for a specified time, shoot zombies from a helicopter or corny offer to get out alive from point A to point B. Met the path of a special variety of zombies do not differ. Basically, this is the usual walking, slowly but surely prushchego the player from every doorway or hole in the fence. Complicate their task, and at the same time get a bit of cash bonus may be laying in the doorway of the enemy. While the ghouls will disassemble blocked the passage of time to board the player can round up there and back with a canister of gasoline, for example. True, these very erect barricades allowed only in designated places for them. 

Sometimes the game lets you to bigger monsters, like the big guy with a barrel of fuel on the belly or affected by radiation mutant zombies, finding a number which can send the unwary player in another world. To deal with them is not difficult, if you have a couple of pocket grenades, mines or vzyrvoopasnoy chicken. I’m serious, bind to the chicken stick of dynamite, releasing a bird run, zombies on her distracted, going to a bunch of … profit. Conventional firearms can do, but it will be much harder and have to use the kit.

And here we are confronted with the fact that such additional work – it’s not so much an opportunity as a necessity, otherwise you will experience a serious shortage of first aid kits, grenades, a shotgun will get together for a long time, and the machine will have to constantly improving delay. But why? Because the range of needs money. Let not the real, if game, but nonetheless. And sometimes the game does not hesitate to put the player in a losing situation. Suppose a quest a reward of $ 700, but at this level there is a couple of big monsters, and it’s four grenades, which, in turn, is worth $ 800. And you can not use them as ammunition is running out, because you have a basic set of simple weapons and shoot it poorly. 

To solve the issue with the lack of cartridges can be improved weapons, thus increasing stopping power and volume of the store, but then the fun begins. To upgrade weapons, you need to improve most gunsmith, gunsmith and to improve you have to … improve technique. In other words, you need an upgrade to upgrade to make the upgrade. Xzibit would be pleased. And, of course, each upgrade requires money and time. So quietly 30 seconds required for the manufacture of first aid kits, flow smoothly into an hour, required to improve specialist. H is replaced by two, and replaced two come for six hours. And, of course, wonderful a button – to perform instantly. For real money. Or go grind dollars in unnecessary missions, hoping that the super-zombies in them will not meet often. 

What about the game mechanics, it is all in the old way, the character moves through the level and shoot zombies, about any jumping or running shelters are not talking. Is that the default option is enabled automatic firing, in which pulling the trigger automatically, once the target is in the crosshairs and at a sufficient distance for shooting. If desired, the settings can be enabled as a manual control fire, and adjust the layout of controls on the screen. Also note that the game supports controllers.

Despite the significant boost to the players to buy in-game gold for Dead Trigger 2 you can spend a couple of evenings, the benefit of the game is available as a free download, but to call it a significant advance over the first part does not work, it just pulls on a great addition.

Released in 2002 on PC multileerny shooter Battlefield 1942 DICE has given us from the beginning of one of the most famous franchises in the gaming industry. Over the next decade, Battlefield first ran on the console, but then again back to the PC to unleash the full potential of graphics engine with a proprietary destructible environments. The latest series of the game – Battlefield 4 – seriously claim to the title, if not the best game of the year, the best shooter for sure.

Previous game DICE, Battlefield 3 came out two years ago, and the latest addition to it, End Game – half a year ago. That is why the release Battlefield 4 were looking forward to, because it had to be not just another set of maps and modes, and a new game with updated graphics engine, including extensive work on the mistakes the previous section. Not that deficiencies in Battlefield 3, it was a lot, but as they say, nothing is perfect. But, looking ahead, let’s say that the developers DICE managed to come close to the ideal.

At the heart of Battlefield 4 is a new engine, Frostbite 3, which is responsible for both the graphics and physics of the game. Picture in Battlefield 4 although prettier, but switching to whole new level, unfortunately, did not happen. When you first start the feeling that you play in the good old Battlefield 3, but switched to the higher graphics settings (relatively speaking, the “extra-ultra”). Nevertheless, the graphics in Battlefield 4 is still one of the best if not the best in the genre. 

Naturally, the new graphics engine, Battlefield 4 pulled in an increase in the requirements for PC components, in particular the processor and graphics card. So, if in the previous part of the series you get 60 fps with ultra graphics settings, the new settings will have to downgrade to play multiplayer with the same comfort.

The plot of the single player campaign Battlefield 4, as well as multiplayer, built around an armed confrontation of the three countries: the U.S., Russia and China. The protagonist of the game is Daniel Roecker Constraints, a special squad of American fighter “Gravedigger.” The single player campaign will be launched in Baku, where a special squad will meet with the fugitive Russian general to obtain sensitive information from him and deliver them to the U.S. aircraft carrier “Valkyrie.”

As a result, it is known that China is brewing military coup, and the Russian authorities are ready to support him. The aircraft carrier “Valkyrie” is sent to the civil war-torn Shanghai where Tombstone squad evacuates group of VIP-persons. The next destination “Valkyrie” – a friendly port of Singapore, where he has to wait for the Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy. But on arrival found out that … Anything more will not spoil. 

Battlefield 4 writers managed to get rid of a number of typical cliche shooters on the “third” world war. For example, the axis of evil in the game by China, while Russia assigned a secondary role. American soldiers are shown not only fearless, but also humane, contrary random order of rescue refugees. Not enough plot Battlefield 4 except that the charismatic characters. Of all the characters of the game remembered only black fighter of Tombstone, which they call an Irishman friends jokingly.

But to add to the overall gameplay scenario Mighty appropriate quality developers Battlefield 4, unfortunately, failed. Mission differ from each other only in the scenery while traversed exactly the same. It is necessary, hiding behind cover, gradually move along a straight, albeit wide level. The really interesting to look except marine mission.

Disappoint and AI: your ally and enemy soldiers are long, long time to lie on different sides of one concrete beam, not daring to pop out. Enemies are often kept in groups, making them easy prey “grenade launcher.” The need to make decisions with lightning speed and to think tactically in singpleere there – a lot of online battles.

A key innovation of multiplayer Battlefield 4 was the technology Levolution, allowing multiplayer maps dramatically change the shape directly in battle. Video of crumbling skyscrapers and sitting down on the stranded ship had not seen before the game except just lazy. It increased the scale of destruction and changing weather conditions (from calm to storm) make it clear that this is a really a new game, not a slightly embellished old. 

Multiplayer Battlefield 4 has brought a lot of improvements: a small, but important. Thus, assault rifles and machine guns can now be installed at the same time two of sight, such as a collimator for close combat and ACOG for long. Soldiers of class “Assault” will start with a grenade launcher and a first-aid kits, and access to the defibrillator is opened only with higher levels. The “Engineers” is selected the “exclusive” right to carbines – now they, like shooting a rifle (DMR), available to all classes.

The machine-gunners (class “Support”), lost the ability to refill your own cartridges of ammunition – universal box will be available with the level. In addition, the machine-gunners seized explosives C4, instead of issuing a lightweight launcher XM25. But some have a machine-gun was the suppression of the enemy.

C4 explosives got class “Scout”, which seems more logical – demolition is to be cagey fighter. Snipers can change the magnification of sight, again for easy shooting at medium and long range. Notice is lurking in the dense vegetation of the sniper can not only glare at the sight, but also on the trajectory of the bullet. Oh and run over will now have to campers! 

It became possible to peek out from behind a corner, apply counter-attack with a knife, shoot with a pistol while in the water and dive to escape quickly from sight. Points are awarded not only for the destruction of machinery, but even getting into it. From reviving an ally you can not refuse. This is useful when there are loads and loads of enemies, but you still empty gun shop.

In addition, the back of the Battlefield 2 Class “Commander”, played by the most high-level player in a team. It monitors the battlefield on the map: giving orders allies, enemies and activates said auxiliary equipment (UAVs and missiles Tomahawk). And for the commander can not only play with the PC, but with the tablet.

Customization in Battlefield 4 lends itself to the appearance of not only weapons, but also the uniforms of soldiers and even the armor of tanks. But here it is important to know when to stop: if choose too bright color, the enemies you will notice a mile away.

As the level of the player is given a Battle-packs – suitcases with a random set of items and camouflage. Any collector of knives obzaviduetsya selection of knives. And if you can not wait to get one or the other module for weapons, and to perform the task to unlock it laziness, Battle packs in any amount can be purchased at Origin.

Breath of fresh air in the multiplayer mode of the game looks “extermination.” It teams are trying to take away from one another bomb (one at all) and use it to blow up the required number of objects. Defectors from the same Call of Duty like a good old “Fight Team” on a small fragment of the map. 

Maps in multiplayer Battlefield 4 scale and detail-drawn, especially the “Siege of Shanghai”, “Storm on the moon dog” and “The dam on the Mekong.” But for some reason none of them does not cause such delights as “Caspian Border” in Battlefield 3. Fortunately, loved by everyone, “Kaspiyka” will come back to the first addition to the Battlefield 4.

Given the abundance of small but important innovations in the multiplayer and single-player campaign with solid plot and sea missions, Battlefield 4 honestly earned the right to be called a new game, not Battlefield 3.5, as they call it maliciously criticism. And remembering how DICE are making major changes earlier with additions like to believe that Battlefield 4 over the next year will surprise more than once or twice.

Best to online shooter Battlefield 4 this year? Most likely, yes, because ARMA III turned “on the fan,” and Titanfall will be released only in 2014. But to say this with certainty, we need to first look at Call of Duty: Ghosts. Fortunately, before the release of this game a few days left.

Perhaps you have never heard of the Shadow Warrior – this thriller 3D Realms is always hiding in the shadow of legends Duke Nukem 3D. Studio has released it in ’97, replacing one hemisphere to the other – if the Duke versed with American problems and was in itself a Californian bullies, the Shadow Warrior was about Asian ninja with katana. In other two games were similar to each other as brothers – one engine, a little bit of nudity, crude jokes and enemies, bursting under fire as medical blood bags.

After 3D Realms collapsed, her rights were scattered in different studios. Duke got Gearbox, Shadow Warrior and bought Devolver Digital, publisher, who made ​​a name for remakes and sequels Serious Sam. Devolver – a small but active company, did not throw money and quickly found a suitable studio developer. Make a new Shadow Warrior instructed Polish Flying Wild Hog, which you may know by militant Hard Reset .

To dispel doubts write once – a new Shadow Warrior is not a remake, but a big reboot. The team wrote a new script, drew the other levels, and the hero has learned some surprising ways to kill.

As before, his name is Luo Wang and it works contract killer. The story begins at a time when the boss asks Wang to get an ancient sword. Unfortunately, for these weapons also hunt Kitajka mobsters, and even an army of demons. 

To cope with them, Luo Wangu need help otherworldly “friend” – a demon, who drove from hell. That the game will hang on the belt and let Wang sometimes relevant jokes. In addition, in the search for our hero hung with dozens of weapons and master the magic tricks. As the game progresses you can pump talents, so that by the end of your turn into a hero Wang Wuxi , killing dozens of enemies at one stroke the blade.

The search stretched his sword through the caves and catacombs otherworldly dimensions, but more often through the rooms of medieval Chinese mansions and bamboo groves. Like the original, the new Shadow Warrior is made ​​up of stamps, so most of the scenery is not easy to guess including games.

But the main thing here, of course, retro gameplay. Each level in the game is a pack arenas linked by corridors. Quite like 16 years ago, each of them waiting for you on the twenty to fifty enemies. It is necessary to take the key or pull the switch is open around the portals, and the hero of naprygnut enemies. Most of them run fast and almost as Vanga in agility, Shadow Warrior is one of those games that run better on a mouse. Survive a character or not is often dependent on the milliseconds.

It looks like running another series Devolver – Serious Sam . There’s also sometimes hard to figure out what happens when an army of limbs, terrible birth and fireworks explosions trying to fit into the screen. Only Serious Sam gameplay of Doom copies and the number of monsters in one fight where it can step over a hundred. A Shadow is not very different from Duke Nukem 3D, which is rarely thrown at the screen for more than thirty monsters – so that in comparison with Serious Sam, Shadow Warrior is far less monotonous. 

The Polish team was able to find a compromise. Shadow Warrior is played as a fighter 90s, but it does not get monotonous. Then sometimes you have to look for clues, but it’s hard to get lost. And yet, it is noticeable that the game was a modest budget – its interiors are constantly copying one another, and yet, here you can find dozens of wonderful landscapes.

Even the jokes are funny and to the point. Encouraging, as a short phrase of Wang and “cookies destiny”, hidden in levels, which sometimes hides a little anecdote.

By and large, Shadow Warrior only two problems. First, because the team wanted to make a game about the katana, firearms here embossed on the role of accessories, and it seems a bit awkward and boring. Within the walls of Flying Wild Hog are former developers of Painkiller – see in their game ineffective gun at least unexpected.

Secondly, the price. When the Steam almost every day make good games for $ 10-20, Shadow Warrior is already in the U.S. $ 40. Most likely, so the game and flew past the sales charts.

Before Dark Sector has turned into a weird nonsense about special agent with metal arms and shuriken, boomerang, the game was planned as a cool space with stealth ninja in Nanosuit. Why the concept has been so radically changed is not known, but it’s nice that they did not bury Digital Extreme original operating time, and still use them when creating Warframe – cooperative third-person shooter, with the Free-to-Play and Catania.

Players assume the role of Warframe Tenno – mysterious warriors from the past who have lost their memory after many years in the cold chamber. Only Tenno might have their own costumes, the same Warframe. On the other side of the empire zahirevshih continuous cloning and so-clad soldier exoskeletons Grineer, Corpus trading corporation and a strange space virus that generates a zombie mutants.

Warframe played as a mixture of Left 4 Dead 2 and multiplayer Mass Effect 3 – a detachment of four players must land at a specified location, complete the task and reach the extraction point. Among the tasks of rescue and escort the hostages, sabotage, intelligence, defense facilities – only about ten species. Decorations are the same type, but the monotony is logical, because most of the time Tenno spend on military space stations, ground military bases and various research complexes. This may explain the similarity of the model construction and architectural plans. What a banal copy-paste, then really there to hide. Two identical levels, of course, does not find, but occasionally there is a sense of deja vu.

Each of the suits, which are currently fourteen, has its own special and unique skills. Someone knows how to disappear or to poison the enemy poison someone specializes in traps or, for example, subordination of reason enemy. There are your tanks, support units, melee or ranged attack. And the weapons and costumes are getting new levels during use, allowing you to equip them with the modules, thus improving performance or acquiring new skills. A worthy alternative to the bored trees skills.

The modules themselves as resources to create new items are in the process of the mission, so be prepared for the inevitable pereprohozhdeniya multiple tasks. Do not want to waste time on it? Take out your credit card. Despite the fact that the Free-to-Play in Warframe quite soft, it is sometimes too intrusive. No, you can fully play the game without spending a penny, but in this case the reserved by patience – quickly get, say, a new Warframe not work. First you need to save money to the drawings, and then spend a few evenings to gather the necessary resources and, most sadly, the components, the drop rate are not entirely clear. Moreover, apart from the costume would have to try a new weapon … And get this all you want now, not ever in three weeks. If you’re lucky.

Battles in Warframe clearly failed. The combat system is simple and convenient, each player is armed with two kinds of firearms and one cold, plus a set of skills, depending on the modules installed. Themselves fighting incredibly spectacular. General picture – one of the strengths of the game in Digital Extreme obviously know how to work with special effects. Troop leisurely sneaks down the dark corridor, hacking terminals, eliminating the surveillance camera, when suddenly the intercom alerts – get noticed, and the computer starts the brightest light show this year. Something explodes, blinding for a few seconds, do not have time to go sight as sweeps past the Ember distracting and blinding fireballs again. Ash comes out of nowhere, causing enemy soldiers a few quick punches to the back and disappears again. Excalibur intercepts katana and cut one into a crowd of enemies, nasevshih a powerful tank Rhino. At such moments Warframe gorgeous.

But now the battle is over and it becomes boring. Whatever it was, monotonous environment has an effect, the card is not too informative and in large areas can sometimes get lost. Added to Warframe mini-games to break into computers and elements of parkour is not too diversify running around the bellhop locations. In short, apart from fighting to entertain themselves in the game almost nothing.

But the main problem of the game is not even that. Warframe so far does not give tools for effective interaction between the players themselves. Rosters, chat, clan management interface – all this is done is not the best way. In appendage, Warframe filters play, depending on the delay and the geographical location, that sometimes has a negative impact on the search for mates. Yes, these settings can be changed manually, but that did not help much, so it is better to start to play with friends, so you can avoid a long search of players for the start of the mission. You can perform the mission and solos, but they are poorly balanced for singles and sustain such a hardcore can not everyone.

Warframe captivating dynamic, collecting and pumping modules costumes and even games with co-op for up to four people have recently not indulge, so some disadvantages can close your eyes.
