Yankees are in the service of charlatans.
Another little-known clicker-this time from the company Rionix (Division Alawar), responsible for a fairly mediocre series of games-stamping in the genre of casual strategies.
The Meaning of the game is quite simple-at Your disposal is an extensive map, dumb servants and a bunch of interactive objects. Click on objects, get resources and capture areas of influence.
And everything would be nothing, but we have only a second-rate faded copy of the notorious 12 Labours of Hercules. Everything-from the gameplay and ending with sickening 3D-models of farms, mines and lawns-Pontyreno from the famous franchise. Absurd, but the only memorable difference I can only call the replacement of the olive trees with New Year's tree (and that's because the place of action moved from the sunny Greek to 40-degree Lapland winter).
However, New Yankee in Santa'S Service still has significant differences with its prototype. For example, the fighting on the graphic accompaniment of this game-with Vyviglaznymi three-dimensional models of characters, which without primitive fear to look simply impossible. Where white bears and polar bunnies differ from each other only by dimensions, and instead of the brave Hercules, shifting lumps of little fingers, there is a drunken Santa Claus, Nu3дящий snowmen with his staff.
Well, under the curtain it is worth noting that the screen resolution in New Yankee in Santa'S Service is not optimized for the extra-planetary space technologies of the XXI century, but it is ideal for square-bellied Komputerov of the Paleozoic epoch. In This connection, we will have to put up with wide shocks on the edges of the screen-with a cheap ornament like the pants.
There are quite a few Arguments to defend the game. The Tolerable music here contrasts with the beautifully decorated photo-cards of John and Mary. Also present in-game achievements and cheap cards.
Verdict: Do not be in this world of "Heracles" franchise, this game would become a legend, burst into a hit parade of sales, tore all the possible charts and received a well-deserved award Game of the Year.
However, as the well-informed Menestrel, Jason Stethem, said: "The Chicken is not to be a rooster, and the lair is my Kent."
Alas and Ah, it did not work for New Yankee in Santa'S Service to become something more than a second-rate, fake forgery is not the most entertaining series of games. I do not recommend To buy.
