Rochard reviews and comments

-About holes for the Game played. Maybe more maybe less. Quopped when the whole Game world was Head. That said was on the left, at the top was at the Stick below, etc. Not that that would have been hard. It was just boring and stank at the latest from this Point in the Game after it was cheap ' Innovation. History: Extraterestial Mining Engineer is dealing with a Conspiracy by former Colleagues. So Much for the History of the Story. Playability: Playable with reasonably precise Control. However, monotonous and repetitive Knobbles. Fair set Memory Points. Crafting non-existent. Only Improvement remotely detonated Grenades. Pawed. Graphic: Deluxe Paint.;-) Sound: 2.0 Stereo. :-O Localization: This is not redneck country ... So go home, ehh whatever you are. :-) Caution. Texans with German Subtitles on Approach. Duck. D-U-C-K-K-E-N!!! Points: Story-3/10 Playful-5/10 Grafic-4/10 Sound-5/10 Localization-3/10 Conclusion: Take three Characters one, give the Game a contemporary Gamepad-control And hope for the big throw. Unfortunately, due to the additional Characters such as trine Triology, the game lacks the Opportunity to combine different Abilities sensibly. Thus, the Game lacks the Variety in The Approach as well as the refreshing Variety. Since Rochard also lacks an interesting Story for Adults leading by the Game, the bottom line remains only a Recommendation for Genre-fanatics and/or bargain hunters in the Steam-sale. The Average Value of the 5 Categories is the final Rating. Final Value-4/10---TO EIFELHAFT ON THE KIPPE

Is really a nice Pastime and a nice little Game. Story: The Story was pretty much 08/15 and consistently predictable, except for the "End Credits," if you can call the laughable 5 Seconds that way at all. And that, in my Opinion, is for ' n A ... ok, for more than 5 Seconds he was at ease, but definitely the shortest Video sequence in the whole Game. A little more than this also storytechnical-based unsatisfactory End Credits I really expected me to play through the Game. Once a Game played through and then thought "WTF?" If not, then this will be the case. Voice Acting: The Voice Actor should have spoken with a French Accent. Then it would have been funnier than with that Southern accent. The female Voice Voice remains very pale. Gameplay & Difficulty: Very light. That's even what I say, and I'm absolutely not a good Player. The Opponents have only one Attack, and with one Exception you are certainly in front of all Enemies as long as you move behind a Box. And Opponents of the Exception Type will be available for the first time about 10 minutes before the End of the Game. May have been less than 10 Pieces. The Gameplay is unexpectedly inflexible, by which I mean not only the monotonous, too easy opponents, also the Setting and the Possibility to solve a little differently on a second Pass. Otherwise: The Music at the Beginning is totally good. That's when I thought Hui, if this continues, this is going to be a Ride. What shall I say? There'S No Music in most sections, and if so, it's completely different than in the Intro. Well, maybe the Game will start again to listen to the Music again at the Beginning, but otherwise I don't think it would appeal to me to play the Game again. In order for me to play a Game again, it has to be more flexible than this one and especially the Story has to inspire me. For example, for precisely these reasons, I played through the PoP trilogy and Max Payne 2, 20x.
