HOGS of WAR [analysis of the game]
– I am the commander of your platoon, senior playing instructor – Sergeant Plymen. Starting from this moment you will speak then, and only when they contact you. This is understandable, Freedics?
– Sir, yes, sir.
– Cryny! I can’t hear you! Answer how battles roofs!
– Sir, yes, sir.
– If you, visual novels, get out of the CD of the shelf, if you survive the course of the young fighter, you will become video players, entertainment messengers that pray that the console is launched. But before this day – you are just a program code! You are the simplest program “Hello, World!”. You are not@#$ not games at all! Just not compiled bunch of binary code.
I’m strict, but I’m fair! I have no racial discrimination here. I do not care about racing, jokani, quests and fighting. All of you are here – equally worthless. My task: to get rid of those who are not able to give pleasure from playing my favorite first curling iron. You understand, the third Sacred’y?
– Sir, yes, sir.
– Cryny! I can’t hear you!
– Sir, yes, sir.
– What is your name, Trikel of the mafia?
– Sir, Dino Crisis, sir!
– Cryny! Now you are a rubber with dinosaurs! Like this name?
– Sir, yes, sir.
-Then you won’t like something here, a rubber with dinosaurs, your third part is not at all to pay off!
*from somewhere from afar*
– Hello! it’s me – Mario!
– Who is this@$%ul?! Who is the 64 MB’mi plastic Nintendi subsose, which has just signed a death sentence?!
..
– Nobody, yes? This arcade car said to beat her a record? Excellent! Yes, I will count you to the scratches! I will read you until the print is sprinkled with you! You said that, the failure of crowdfunding?
“Sir, no, Se ..
– You are plastics a piece, traits of Survival from Early Access?
“Sir, I said that, sir.
– ABOUT! Nichrome to yourself! This is who we have here? What is your name, soldier?
– Sir, Hogs of War, sir.
-What are you, some kind of worm?
– Sir, no. I have my own characteristics ..
– So you are special? Private disabled person? I am delighted with your honesty. I even like you – you can come to my house and climb into my sister’s drive in CD.
*Beats with a fist in the case. Transparent plastic cracks*
– Where are you from, an ordinary disabled person?
– From France, sir.
– From France they call only frogs and games with towers. You don’t have a membrane – so your choice is not great. How much plot is in you?
– A little, sir. It is almost no. Six teams, parody of their appearance by the military fashion of different countries and eras, fight for a puddle of dirt. This choice is cosmetic: only the appearance of classes, voices and phrases will change. Between the tasks, short briefings will be presented to you, and after passing the stage they will show a humorous teaching video of a young fighter.

– So little plot, but stinks like from a ton! So what are your features, an ordinary disabled person? How you differ from many ballistic flash games about tanks?
– Nine recruits are given to the player’s control. Only five go into battle, three always in stock.
-It seems that you knew something about Classes?
– Sir, that’s for sure, sir. The game has four classes: artilleryman, sniper, medic and engineer. Initially, all recruits are the same, as you put Sir, worthless, and can increase the rank for coins called Paragraphs. The player receives these same PP for victory. Depending on the importance of the territory broken from the enemy, the amount of remuneration received after the battle is growing. The price of a new rank of fighter changes directly in proportion to his current position in the ranks. The higher the rank – the cooler the fighter becomes in his specialty: the artilleryman, in addition to the usual bazouka, will be able to wear an additional mortar and flamethrower, and his maximum health supply will increase, the scout will acquire a sniper rifle, a gas grenade and the ability to hide himself from the minimar.D. Pigs, like us, @#$ creatures, sir, can be called any names, and also somehow famously call your squad. All this, together, makes each fighter unique, and the fact that the boars can really die on the battlefield, begins to stimulate the player to strongerly protect his cherrysticks and not allow to catch a crazy bullet again.
For some reason, Kelebro became the most “magnetic” on enemy fire of a pig.
– And I’ll see, an ordinary disabled person, you are also in volume! I wonder how it is realized Destruction of the landscape In you? Is it possible to arrange a total defeat so much so that except for one pixel island, nothing will remain?
– Sir, no, sir. Fighting is carried out exclusively in static areas, pre -drawn developers, sir. But all cards are diverse. Often, the player’s detachment in missions put a position that is advantageous to enemies: for example, fighters can be thrown into the depths of a quarry surrounded by mines, where they will attack the snipers and bombers that sit their tails-spring on the rocks. This gives interesting combat situations that can make the brains move.
In order not to lose their (and not only) pigs in the combat bustle, their location is noted on the screen. Even if they are behind the barrier.
The area is almost always stuffed with slopes, hills, water and mine obstacles, trees and various kinds buildings. These are they are destroyed. You can hide in such buildings, a box with ammunitsa can lie there or simply introduce fire from it. In addition to ordinary walls and boxes, there are also shelters where you can hide a pig, and even sanitary tents, where a pig can lick wounds for a certain number of moves. Do not forget also that on the maps you can find bridges that successfully fall apart by a powerful shot, tactically cutting off the path to any strategic object.
Unlike the same worms, the happy owners of the heel do not drown, like a sapper shovel, but begin to look for the nearest path to the shore. But despite the ability to swim, the water still negatively affects the fighters, because the longer the last flounder in water, the faster the amount of health will decrease.
Dogglers treat bad taste. Colors are restored.
A box of brick walls is fraught with medicines
– And these are your features? It will be not enough!
– Sir, no, sir. I also have the opportunity to hit the goal from stationary guns And use the battle transport. Their distinctive feature is that the resulting damage from some types of weapons will differ from the fact that pigs take over. For example, the soles can almost go to a minefield painlessly painlessly, despite the fact that the usual boar, after the first explosion, is heartbreaking, will refute the famous expression “pigs do not fly”. And making shots from one machine -gun gun to another will not have any benefit, because ordinary bullets are not able to break through the armor of the guns.
So -ties, like guns, have several types of shooting, and their ammunition is limited
– Okay, an ordinary disabled person. I even wanted to play you. But I just look at you and think that you are some kind of crooked, like an Australian boomerang. What is lousy in you?
– Sir.
– Here I ask questions! Lutboxes are? I am ready to argue that you are one of those who slowly pull out money from anyone, even if he does not submit you!
– Not at all, sir.
– Then what is wrong with you, an ordinary disabled person?
– Sir … in me It is inconvenient to shoot..
-What? Yes, fuck you gave me one, Vita is portable! How did it happen that you cannot cope with the basics of your gameplay?
– Sir … shooting from ordinary weapons is still done normally. When using rifles or pistols, a targeting mode is used: as in shooters, a sight appears on the screen and just put it on and shoot it. And the throwing and artillery guns do not have such a sight, so you have to calculate the trajectory and the strength of the flight by eye, looking at the sensors on the screen: in the upper right corner – the arrow shows the angle of impact, and the scale below (if there is) the force with which the shell flies out. No matter how they scolded Worms 3D, but the shooting there is realized more intuitively clear. And here it is quite difficult to get around the enemy with the same bazuka, because sometimes the slightest difference in the above jackals can greatly change the flight path, and instead of a shot for a couple of meters, you can throw the projectile far ahead.
The camera is in an uncomfortable perspective, because of which you are not really visible where you are going. The game provides for a review mode, but it does not always help, because the review is no better.
The no better emotions are affected by the fact that the pigs are clumsy and clumsy (literally, they turn very slowly), and jumps in the game are useless, because pigs jump a little more than a couple of centimeters forward (this is annoying when you have to jump in small islands surrounded by water).
Of course, there is a couple of funny rifle features, for example, you can throw a grenade on a minefield so that the first from an explosion flew a much greater distance, but it does not make a better game.
In minuses, you can also attribute the scarcity of arsenal. But this does not interfere with it, you can attach to the slope in the more realistic fighting (all sorts of super-ovens and stone donkeys are not even more so here), but some kind of fraction of diversity is lost.
– If your gameplay is weak and inconvenient, the gamer begins to fluctuate in your choice. Then he will not launch you … Then you will become a forgotten old disk and find yourself in the dust in the dust.
Although, this is not quite about you. You, soldier, are still remembered. And not surprising. In the years when you were created, many game studios were not afraid to experiment, they were not afraid to fill the game with something unusual, even if this idea is unsuccessful or implemented poorly. That era has gone when Games category b all played and were loved, despite the fact that everyone knew about better games. Creatures of Nightmares, The Mummy, Spawn: The Eternal, Crazy iVan … Perhaps such games are needed now. Non -casual, but memorable. Crooked, but in which you still want to play. Sometimes I really want to take and install something interesting, what you bought only because of an attractive cover with the inscription “Fargus” or “completely Russian version”, or maybe even “500 toys in 1”. Sometimes I just want to just hear the nasal voices of pirate translations ..
– Sir, you are Zaldfazhi, sir. You need to have a little busty DRM SAFEDISC. Otherwise you will completely remain in your world and lag behind the modern world.
