Exanima

Early Access Review Exanima is one of the Most Heaviest And Best games I've played in a long time. First of all, some Information about the Game. Basically, the Developers of Exanima want to "get used" to the Game Mechanics of the Successor Title Sui Generis. It's kind of the Prologue to the Game. There are currently 2 Game Modes. Story Mode: You wake up in a dark Room in a Dungeon, have nothing but your Clothes and a Letter, know neither who you are nor what exactly you need to do. Arena Mode: You start with a Character fighting fights in the Arena, get Cash for it, gradually buy better Equipment and new Warriors this year. First of all, something about Story mode: The Game is interesting, because you can interact with everything in your Environment, as it is good to see in the Trailer. If you see a potential Opponent, try to be kind, if you're lucky the Zombie with the Axe is not interested in killing you as long as you don't do anything to him (yes that actually happens) or take the Stride leg and slap on him just found , or run away, or trick him out by locking him in the Board chamber. You decide how to master the Game. Since healing is a Luxury Commodity in this Game, you will probably fail miserably on your first Attempt to master the Dungeon and die a terrible Death. Don't Worry, we all felt that way. Healing you have to earn, there are few Ways to heal yourself and you have to look carefully for it. You can choose different Skills and skilly as usual in an RPG, such as different Melee techniques, Handling Armor or different Techniques in The fight with Shield. Some Features are still missing, such as Long-distance combat, and there will probably be a Kind of Magic System, exactly how this will work, I can't tell you yet;). We can be curious. Of course, you will also find Equipment that can be equipped in any combination. Each armor part/garment also protects only the intended Part of the Body, the respective object. Your Plate tank, for Example, is of no use if you get a Punch with a Sword on your Head. If you are Lucky you only get Stamina and you are temporarily out of action, but you can also get fatal Damage, which in turn also permanently reduces your Stamina. If the Bar is completely red, be it for you and you may be able to make up for several Hours of Progress in the Game. You can't save yourself. The Game saves when you leave it and when you set it in the Options like that, at some rare "Checkpoints" in the first 3 Floors. (Very recommended for Beginners) The Memory Points created when You Finish the Game don't get you anything when you die, you always start at the last Checkpoint after your Death. From Floor 4 there are no more Checkpoints at all. Now that you have died miserably, you will probably use the Training Mode of the Arena to get a Feeling for the unique Control. This actually takes a few Hours of Practice and in the Beginning you will torkel back and forth like a Broom while your Opponent beats your Head to Porridge with his Morning Star. But in this Case, the Saying "Exercise makes perfect" really applies and when you have the Hang of it, the Combat System is Great Fun. It should also be noted that AI sometimes makes Mistakes and has a reaction time similar To that we Humans. Since the Game is "Early Access," the Dungeon currently has only 5 Floors, which are very large and, above all, difficult to master. It takes several Hours to get to the End of Floor 5. Of course, the Dungeon gradually gets bigger, but since the Dungeon is designed with a lot of attention to detail and you can interact with anything and everyone (why not run through the Dungeon with a Ladder around your Neck and a Bucket on your Head, for example? ^^) A little until it is extended. And besides, Arena Mode Doesn't end until you don't Feel like it anymore (or all your Fighters are dead) and offers different Battle Modes. From Duels, to Boxing Matches and Mass Brawls, to the Fight 3 Men against an Ogre (which is equipped with Thorn leg and Plate armor). So There are guaranteed to be tens Of Hours of Fun. The Game is very stable, I haven't had to notice any Bugs or Game Crashes so far. What I think is still missing is a Multiplayer Arena mode, because the Arena fights against other Players or in the Co-Op against the Ogre would certainly be even more entertaining. You should be able to understand English, I don't know if a German Translation is planned. Verdict: Sau-heavy, Unique, Reuniting Recommended!
