Ground Breakers-turn-based strategy from the developers of the studio UnitedIndie. For The guys this is the first project in the vastness of the steam and, as I think, very successful.
Before us is a unique game of its kind. There are so many game elements In it that I am afraid and the review is not enough to tell everything. So, turn-based strategy Ground Breakers-a kind of combination of chess and RPG. Yes, yes you did not hear exactly the combination;) A Little about plot. Again we have a global cataclysm in the world and there are not so many survivors on the planet. But came the strong and proud "companies" ready to take under the wing of all and all, for the sake of protection naturally. But, O Gods, there was a whole "few" on the earth. How can we coexist peacefully? Well, of course not! And Here we are witnessing the battles of powerful "corporations". But as people on the planet are not so much in the business go robots. At This moment I had my head blown off! But the idea and realization seem insane and ingenious at the same time. It Is this fact that makes the game unique in its kind.
Game Mechanics in Ground Breakers is as complex as the story. We have four different modes in it. In the first of them we just fight in separate battles with one of the rival company and, of course, must take the upper hand. At This level will gradually open new paramilitary robots with any stuffing (mines, machine guns, rocket launchers, melee weapons). In the next game mode to choose how much and what difficulty will be opponents on the battlefield. If you are bored with random boevki in the first mode, then you will definitely have to taste. Also in it you can promote your corporation both in military potential and in economic. The Third mode, and as for me the most interesting, is that in the destruction of any enemy unit will fall parts. When collecting these parts, we will open the opportunity to upgrade, repair our old robots and create completely new ones. In This mode and begins all the fun, because here only you are under the power to create the strongest robot on the planet. And The final mode is multiplayer. Create A unique robot can compare it in battle with real people and understand how cool it is. And for these all goodies developers are asking for a large (now) amount.
The Combat system also looks very colorful and even epic. A Chess-like element makes itself known. Think through your unique strategy of fighting, hone it to the level of "all kill", and after all this go into multiplayer and prove your words affair! Since the developers tried to make the game as many playable elements and fix it all online, the Boevka robots looks a little nondescript. Yes everything is beautiful, yes could be worse, but here a little did not reach the words: "Yes it's a MASTERPIECE!".
The Graphic component of the game is sustained in pretty strict tones. I do not have to introduce that the game lacks coloriness, by no means. Everything is extremely bright and vivid looks. But The Combat field, unfortunately, is limited to a small piece of land (chessboard), which will be held all the battles. But The fact that you can build your own drone, or rather the army of robots under its own, is astounding. The Sound effects in the project are quite medium-level. As They say: "Neither good nor bad."
At the end of the review would like to list the pros and cons of the project.
Pros: + A Great combination of genres such as: Strategy, RPG, robotics + the Ability to create your own unique army of Robots + Combat chess (or rather chess on robots) + Cute graphic component + Large arsenal of weapons robots Cons:- Boevka sometimes looks boring (especially after a few hours of battles)-Without Rusification is very difficult to understand what you want to Ground Breakers-a great strategy with elements of RPG and randomly generated battleground. I Give this project 8.5 out of 10.
* For This review I am thankful to the developer who provided the key to this game. However, this did not affect my personal view of the project.
