Velvet Assassin

VELVET ASSASSIN-A Woman in the midst of the dirty World war! HANDLUNG: Without Spoiler World War II is heading for its Climax. The British Secret Agent Violette Summer has a Mission: She is to wipe out the Leadership camp of the Wehrmacht in a face face cover by the ranks of the Germans. In addition to the Knife, which is always available, we have only a few Means at our disposal to do so. In other words, Sneaking is the order of the day. A difficult Affair In narrow Bunker Complements and sun-drenched Courtyards. But there is always a Way ... But are we really in the Here and Now? The initially confusing but then more and more revealing players raise some Questions. GRAFIK: Velvet Assassin was released about 5 Years ago. Of Course, the Claims cannot be as high as with a state-of-the-art Title. Especially the Level Of Detail in the Level and the partially slurred Textures no longer impress these days. The Fire effects are Also quite meagre. The very atmospheric shader effects and lighting are still very strong. LEVELGESTALTUNG: The Levels are quite to very linear. Also, there's not much extra to discover Besides a few Collectibles. However, the Missions can (almost) always be solved in several Ways. Do you Shoot the Soldier in front of one now and use Ammunition or take the Risk of slowly sneaking up on him and quietly getting him done with the Knife? It is Precisely this Question that will be asked in a forcible way. UMFANG: You should plan around 13 Hours for the Campaign. Even if there is little to discover in the Level as already mentioned, the Circumference is so full fine. Only the Finale seems a bit rushed and abrupt. BALANCE: Velvet Assassin is not a Game for Harakiri homewalkers. Sufficient Patience, strong Nerves, Tactics and good Timing are very important. Because the action adventure is demanding to unfair. Often, several Attempts are needed to meet the Challenge. Certainly a Bit wanted but still sometimes uncomfortable are the sparse Checkpoints. But that's how you prefer to think twice about how you want to put your Opponents around in front of you. ATMOSPHERE: Perhaps Velvet Assassin's greatest Strength. The strong Lighting combined with a pressing, wonderfully matching Soundtrack and very good Speakers do what they're supposed to do. The world war mood is hardly ever captured in a comparable Game. It doesn't bother so much that every Soldier lets go of the same Saying At every Turn. FAZIT: Atmospherically strong sneak adventure for Professionals, but unfortunately often too linear!
