So, before us a visual novella on Kinovselit "Snow White and Hunter". We play for the girl Elizabeth, who after the death of her father goes to look for her missing brothers. Before The long road our heroine prudently comes to the store for supplies, where it is imposed on the first companion, however, for a while (nothing good it will not end. I tried to replay the beginning to find out if you could not take this one. , but the game answered me with hopelessness regardless of the selected dialogues, and therefore it became clear-the choice in the game will not have to wait, although the dialogues make us think that it is). Going into the Dark Dark Scary Forest, Elizabeth finds trouble, as well as a magician-werewolf, who joins her quest.
In Dark Dark Scary Forest Heroes also meet a friend in two parts of the film Hunter Eric (terribly drunk, but still able to give them a couple of tips, as well as help the group to fill a bit of exps). Well, come on, I will not be more about the plot, it is so terribly predictable, I did not have enough of him to get it all, talk about the pros and cons.
Pros: + No doubt the game is beautiful. Music, pictures, atmosphere, in general, I liked.
+ History. Quite Pleasant.
+ Combat System. Quite a curious choice.
Cons:-Poor optimization. My Komuhtter creepy on her swearing, and introductory to the heads of the rollers in general terribly slowed.
-The Visual part-as mentioned above, the game is beautiful, but the content in it is very (just indecent) a little. The Dialogues are not voiced, the characters have only 4 facial expressions. But with them constantly something happens, they float on a boat, run away from a swift horseradish, go for magic lights, explore the ruins of the castle, arrange romantic scenes, etc., but all this must be imagined in their imagination, because during the action they will also stand, swaying, against the backdrop of unchanging backgrounds. Yes, there are very few backgrounds in the game. NPCS and enemies: they are too few. Peaceful (and not so) residents are all on the same face, even the color of hair and clothing does not change.
Fights. The Combat system is interesting, but the fights themselves are boring and a lot of them. Interest wakes up only on the bosses.
-The Duration of the episodes is short.
Bottom line: I don't know whether to recommend the game or not. But still put a positive assessment, because the passage does not regret (the more that is taken by discount and partially beaten expensive cards) and I hope that the game will eventually work.
