One of the additions to the hardcore First Person Shooter (FPS) extraction shooter provides some interesting shooting combat and traversal.

The Streets of Tarkov map was introduced in the update 0.13.5 of August 2023 and featured a large, partially ruined city map that introduced the first non-player-used vehicle in the form of an armored personnel carrier (APC) that can ferry players from one side of the map to another in relative safety. 

This map challenges the players about their gameplay tactics and their close-quarter combat (CQC) skills as map knowledge for this map is less useful (except for spawn point locations) due to the number of possible entry and exit points for both players and their enemies.

Map Design and Description

First off, this map is noticeably dividable into six (6) major zones within its borders, which are the following:

• The Concordia/Construction Site zone is located on the southwest side of the bottom portion of the map.
• The Old Factory/Rodina Cinema zone is located on the southeast side of the bottom portion of the map, adjacent to the zone mentioned above.
• Pinewood Hotel/City Center zone, located on the central southeast side of the map, just below Klimov Street, is one of the major roads intersecting the whole map.
• Klimov Shopping Mall zone, located on the right upper southeast side of the map, is near both Klimov Street and Primorsky Avenue, where the main road intersection is located.
• Cardinal Apartments/City Expo zone, located on the left upper southwest side of the map, is adjacent to both the Klimov Shopping Mall zone and the Post Office/Residential zone.
• Post Office/Residential zone, located on the central southwest side of the map, wherein the location of the old SCAV/APC spawn point was located.

As previously mentioned, two main roads cross the map: Klimov Street (running horizontally) and Primorsky Avenue (running vertically).

The southern part of the map has more side roads than the northern part. These roads connect the city center to smaller and private roads within each zone.

In addition to the surface-level routes, several subterranean and basement levels connect different zones, allowing players to traverse them. Various buildings, though limited, can also be entered and used as hiding spots or sniping positions.

Map Spawn Points

Initially, the Streets of Tarkov map had 27 spawn points, with some located inside buildings or underground basements, mostly around the outskirts of the city.

After several patches and redesigns, the map now has 39 spawn points, more evenly distributed across the six major zones. Previously, areas like the Klimov Shopping Mall and Cardinal Apartments/City Expo zones had fewer spawn points, creating challenges for players.

Understanding where to spawn and how to safely exit your spawn point are crucial strategies for surviving longer on this map.

Map Features

Just like any other map in the game, the Streets of Tarkov map hosts several features like loot locations and bosses. Aside from those major features, there are some other features that a player should know about when playing through this particular map.

Mounted Stationary Weapons

There are two types of stationary mounted weapons that any player can use: AGS-30 30x29mm automatic grenade launchers, which are highly effective when used correctly, and NSV “Utyos” 12.7×108 heavy machine guns, which can easily mow down enemies.

These weapons are primarily found in The Concordia/Construction Site zone, particularly in and around the LexOs car dealership, which serves as a stronghold for the map’s boss, Kaban.

Be aware that several areas of the map, especially around Kaban’s base, are filled with claymores. Additionally, Border Snipers ensure that no player can leave the map without using the extraction points.

BTR-82A Patrol

This map features an APC taxi service using a BTR-82A equipped with a 30mm 2A42 Autocannon, capable of quickly dispatching enemies. Players can use the service to safely travel anywhere on the map.

The BTR-82A can transport up to 4 players at a time, with costs varying based on faction, Scav karma, Charisma level, and distance.

The APC becomes hostile only if attacked first or when another player purchases the “Covering Fire” service, or if the player is a traitorous Scav. The “Covering Fire” service provides temporary protection, making the BTR-82A hostile to enemies until the player is dropped off, at which point it returns to neutral.

BTR-82A Patrol Stop Locations

Currently, the BTR taxi service offers six (6) pick-up/drop-off locations (the yellow spots with red text in the image above) within the map, which are the following:

• City Center
• Collapsed Crane
• Old Scav Checkpoint
• Pinewood Hotel
• Rodina Cinema
• Tram

The BTR-82A will stop for two minutes for each stop and will honk twice ten seconds before leaving the stop.

BTR-82A Item Extraction

Finally, the BTR taxi service also offers an item extraction service that can be accessed through the BTR-82A’s trunk. The trunk size depends on the player’s Scav karma, and the items extracted from this service will arrive at the player’s mail after an hour in-game time.

Map Bosses

The map features two bosses: Kaban and Kollontay.

Kaban is located at the LexOs car dealership in The Concordia/Construction Site zone. He wields weapons like the Kalashnikov PKM and PKP 7.62x54R machine guns or the RPK-16 5.45×39 light machine gun, depending on where he spawns. He is protected by bodyguards Gus and Basmach, along with 2 to 3 snipers and four heavily armed guards.

Kollontay is a roaming boss who can appear at either Klimov Shopping Mall or the Ministry of the Interior Academy. He carries a PR-Taran Police Baton, a Kalashnikov AKMN 7.62×39 assault rifle, and a Lebedev PL-15 9×19 pistol, aside from other weapons. His guards are equipped with submachine guns, shotguns, and both frag and flash grenades. Approach both bosses with caution.

Extraction Points

There are 17 extraction points that a player can use to exit the map once their objective has been completed (i.e. loot hunting or quest cleared, etc.) or if they simply just want to leave the map altogether.

Do take note that some specific extraction locations have certain requirements to be used, just like in any map in the game.

“Avoid downloading this from the App Store or else get MalO’ed.”

Secure. Contain. Protect. – That is the motto of the secretive organization called the SCP Foundation lives by. The SCP stands for “Special Containment Procedure” wherein it captures and studies various beings related to the paranormal, supernatural, and anomalies within their numerous hidden and restricted sites across the globe. 

The organization named the beings it encountered as “SCP” followed by a designation number. Since its inception, the Foundation has contained numerous SCPs, such as SCP-1471. Called “MalO ver.1.0.0” in the Apple App Store for its iOS devices with the app description “Never settle for these awkward feelings of being alone ever again,” this SCP tends to target its victims who have used the app on their devices for too long until suddenly the user simply disappears from existence.

What Is SCP-1471?

SCP-1471 was officially classified as a “Euclid” anomaly and named “MalO ver.1.0.0” after its app name from the App Store when it first mysteriously appeared online without prior notice.

It has been targeting app users who have shown cases of loneliness whether due to failures in the user’s relationships (i.e. romantic and social), ones who are just simply bored or curious, have viewed or downloaded it wrongfully, or those who are avoiding the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) trend once gossip of the anomaly’s mysterious app gained notoriety through word of mouth and online.

The being that it spawns for hunting and making its target “disappear” from existence is classified as SCP-1471-A, nicknamed “Capone” in other sources, which at first faintly appeared in a few select photos sent by the app and eventually became fully visible to the user until their final moments before making the user mysteriously disappear from reality altogether.

Description and Explanation

SCP-1471 is described as a free app in the Apple App Store, being sized at 9.8 MB in total. It hooks its victims with its catchy catchphrase (see mentioned above), while promising to be ad-free while ensuring its users will not feel lonely or even isolated as the app will send automated, human-like messages and responses.

The malicious app has no listed developer and somehow managed to bypass security checks before being uploaded and listed in the App Store seemingly overnight. The app also can mysteriously avoid being deleted/uninstalled by the user or via an automated app manager.

Once installed, affected devices are classified as SCP-1471-#, and will not show any icons or shortcuts on the infected device’s app drawer and home screen. At first, the app will send text messages every 3 to 6 hours within 24 hours after its installation, with images related to the locations that the user has commonly frequented containing SCP-1471-A, faintly visible in most of those photos.

Capone will either appear in the foreground or background of the images throughout the app’s lifetime activity and after 48 hours from the app being installed, the images sent will be on the locations recently visited by the user. After 72 hours, the images sent would show Capone within the near vicinity of the user until its final moments.

Meanwhile, SCP-1471-A (Capone) is described as an androgynous humanoid cryptid that can stand on its hind-like yet humanized legs, with its body covered in thick black fur that is animal-like, long black hair and a wolf-like skull with sharp fangs and teeth for its face, with white, pupil-less marble-like eyes. Weirdly enough, many people who became fans of Capone have tended to recreate the SCP as a sexualized female furry in many artworks and in other forms of media such as games, ditching its original androgynous look.

Containment Procedures for SCP-096

Standard containment procedures for SCP-1471 start with confiscating all SCP-1471-#, wherein all infected devices will be analyzed for potential leads in tracking other possible infected devices. Once all infected devices are accounted for and confiscated, all batteries will be removed and will be placed in Storage Unit-91 at Research Site-45.

Meanwhile, all online application stores for mobile devices are heavily monitored to avoid the selling of infected devices containing SCP-1471. A self-uploading will be used to target suspected infected devices to be disabled and seized by undercover SCP field agents.

Conclusion

SCP-1471 shows how vulnerable the human psyche can be when faced with loneliness and isolation from its fellow humankind. It is also one of the few SCPs that directly involves itself with human technology – the smartphone, and other similar devices that can download the malicious anomaly disguised as a harmless, trend-chasing app.

The public should be more vigilant when it comes to dealing with such applications and files they can find on the internet to avoid being victimized by this particular SCP.

“Never look at this being’s face if you want to live.”

Secure. Contain. Protect. – That is the motto of the secretive organization called the SCP Foundation lives by. The SCP stands for “Special Containment Procedure” wherein it captures and studies various beings related to the paranormal, supernatural, and anomalies within their numerous hidden and restricted sites across the globe. 

Source

The organization named the beings it encountered as “SCP” followed by a designation number. Since its inception, the Foundation has contained numerous SCPs, one of which is SCP-096, codenamed “Shy Guy” inside the organization. But don’t take his name for granted, as it could be the end of you.

What Is SCP-096?

Source

SCP-096, officially classified as a “Euclid” anomaly and codenamed “Shy Guy” by many working inside the Foundation, is a being under the Foundation’s captivity. The being is known for being docile when left alone, but once someone sees its face, it will start wailing creepily, almost human-like, and then enter into a raged frenzy.

In that state, the being will do anything to murder and tear apart the one who saw its face. It will leave no traces of its victims once it is done. It was only contained when a lone survivor of a containment team, avoided eye contact with Shy Guy and told the organization not to look at its face.

Description and Explanation

SCP-096, a.k.a.. Shy Guy is a humanoid-like being with an approximate height of 2.38 meters. Its body is noticeably thin, almost skeletal in appearance. After observation, it was deduced that the being suffered from mild malnutrition.

Both of its arms are out of proportion compared to its body, approximated at 1.5 meters each, allowing Shy Guy to reach anything it wants with ease. It has no noticeable body hair and its skin color is greyish-white, devoid of pigmentation. Its eyes have no pigmentation, resulting in a bleach-white color with no visible pupils, confusing researchers if the being is blind. Its jaw can open wide unnaturally, up to four times that of a normal human.

As mentioned earlier, Shy Guy is usually docile and stationary, spending most of the day pacing by the eastern wall of its cell. That changes if someone views its face directly or through a recording or photograph, becoming extremely distressed. Afterward, it will cover its face, then scream, cry, and babble incoherently for a few minutes. Suddenly, it will enter into a raging frenzy state, running towards the individual who saw its face, being designated as SCP-096-1.

Rushing toward SCP-096-1’s location, Shy Guy’s speeds vary from 35 km/h to ███ km/h, depending on its distance from its target. SCP-096 becomes an unstoppable moving force, as nothing can impede it and will destroy everything in its path. Regardless of SCP-096-1’s position, the initiative ability of Shy Guy to locate its target will render hiding from its frenzied state useless until SCP-096-1 is ultimately killed.

All cases involving SCP-06 show that no trace of SCP-096-1 remains at a 100% rate. Afterward, SCP-096 will sit for several minutes before calming down and returning to its docile state. It will then attempt to return to its natural habitat, [DATA REDACTED].

The risk of a mass chain reaction with SCP-096 is very high, alongside the potential breach of Foundation secrecy, and significant civilian casualties. That retrieves Shy Guy an Alpha priority within the Foundation’s containment procedures. Dr. ███ has petitioned for SCP-096’s immediate termination (see Interview 096-1). The termination order has been approved and will be executed by Dr. ███ on [DATA REDACTED]. See Incident-096-1-A for more information about the termination.

Containment Procedures for SCP-096

source

Standard containment procedures for SCP-096 are for the being to be contained in a reinforced containment cell, measuring 5 m x 5 m x 5 m in a cube shape. Its containment cell will be airtight and made of steel, wherein weekly mandatory checks are established to check for cracks or damages. The cell will have pre-installed pressure sensors and laser detectors, while the inside will be virtually empty.

Any photos, videos, and recordings of SCP-096 and its likeness must be eliminated, and only having access approval from Dr. ███ and O5-█ can a personnel view such media of Shy Guy.

Conclusion

SCP-096 remains a huge mystery for the SCP Foundation as they’re still unaware of Shy Guy’s origins and how to eliminate the anomaly, as it is invulnerable to the most up-to-date human-made weapons in our time. Perhaps the only way to truly get rid of this particular SCP is via the otherworldly abilities of other SCP beings within the Foundation’s captivity.

For now, SCP-096 should be kept away and hidden from humanity until the secretive foundation has found a way to truly eliminate it.

Body horror? Check. Gratuitous amounts of gore and violence? Check. Psychological horror? Check. Fans of Junji Ito’s work will love this series about aliens taking over human hosts.

Imagine a parasitic alien race that suddenly descended to Earth one day without warning. That is the sudden reality that Shinichi Izumi has to face when a Parasite miserably fails to take over his mind and becomes part of his right hand instead.

Unable to relocate and find a new host, the Parasite now named Migi by Shinichi, is forced to rely on and co-exist with him. But thanks to Migi’s infection on his right hand, he can use the Parasite’s abilities to get them out of sticky and often deadly situations.

Now that Migi failed to take over a host’s brain, fellow Parasites see Migi as a threat and the unlikely duo must face other Parasites and infected hosts for their lives. Shinichi must now balance his regular life and the parasitic life of his alien partner for them to survive their new reality.

The Notable Humans

Shinichi Izumi

Our main protagonist and one of the few infected hosts resisted being taken over by his Parasite, Migi and now co-exists with the alien in a rocky way. Using Migi’s abilities, Shinichi wants to protect his fellow humans like a superhero, while keeping his infection a secret to avoid being killed or becoming a lab specimen.

Over time, he becomes highly efficient at dealing with Parasites, thanks to the mutation of his cells due to Migi’s infection, giving him heightened abilities and senses against Parasites. He goes to South Korea and helps Jun-Kyung and his Team Grey to get rid of Parasites.

Satomi Murano 

Satomi is Shinichi’s love interest, being romantically attracted to him despite being best friends thanks to the latter’s kind and sensitive nature. However, their relationship is almost broken when Shinichi becomes cold and distant when infected with Migi, trying to keep Satomi out of harm’s way from the Parasites.

And despite knowing the truth behind Shinichi’s infection with the Parasite, her feelings and support towards him didn’t wane, becoming stronger, saying that his humanity remained even after being infected.

Mamoru Uda

Another human host wherein the Parasite failed to take over his brain, Mamoru is a gentle, friendly person who becomes nervous under pressure and highly emotional, whether fighting other Parasites or facing complicated things in his daily life. His parasite is attached to his mouth and lower jaw, unofficially being nicknamed Joe by the fans (due to the word Joe sounding like Jaw in Japanese, referencing the “Jaws” movie).

Despite his peaceful and easygoing nature, since he’s just like Shinichi, he often finds himself in deadly fights against fellow hosts with hostile Parasites. And just like in Migi’s case, the other aliens consider Joe to be a threat as well, putting Mamoru at a disadvantage since he isn’t like Shinichi with heightened senses and abilities.

Takeshi Hirokawa

Acting as the second major antagonist in the latter part of the story, Takeshi is the ringleader of a Parasite conspiracy group who later becomes the Mayor of East Fukuyama City. Using his position and power, he funds both resources and his political understanding so that his conspiracy of the Parasites taking over humanity can be realized.

Due to his hatred of humanity, he wants the Parasites to become successful in their conquering, dubbing them “Mincemeat Murderers” and wants to streamline the process of mass murdering humanity by using them and their abilities.

The Notable Parasites

Reiko Tamura

An intelligent Parasite driven by scientific inclinations to learn more about her kind, she originally infects a female human named Ryouko Tamiya, one of Shinichi’s teachers in his high school. Wanting more about her race, she intentionally gets pregnant with a human baby after assuming herself as Reiko Tamura in the latter half of the series, joining Takeshi in his plans and his conspiracy group.

However, she had a change of heart after giving birth to her baby and developing maternal instincts for it. That change resulted in other Parasites in Takeshi’s group targeting her when she doubted their plans. Now considered an enemy, Reiko kills most of them in Takeshi’s group after escaping, believing that Parasites can peacefully co-exist with humanity.

Gotou

Hosting five parasites in his body (Miki being his main Parasite and four others), Gotou is considered the strongest Parasite that invaded Earth. With the aid of Miki, Gotou can freely control the other four Parasites in his body, transforming most of his body mass into Parasite tissue. That makes him the strongest and most violent of all the aliens, despite being the most intelligent host.

He hunts humans merely for sport and is initially Takeshi’s right-hand man and easily overpowers Shinichi and Migi in their first encounter. Despite being a cold-blooded killer, he has somewhat of a code of honor as he wants to exact vengeance against Shinichi for killing Miki’s kind earlier in the series.

Online casinos have achieved a whole new level of success and elevated both the experience and availability of popular casino games. Casino owners had to shift their businesses to online platforms, but that paid off during the lockdowns due to the global pandemic of coronavirus.

Players have turned their attention to gambling sites, and the habit of playing on them instead in land-based establishments has remained. The statistics showed that their preference elevated the number of active players, revenue, and even the number of online casinos offered to them.

But like with the other things in life, the craze reached its peak, and the gamblers wanted something new. To keep them satisfied, casino operators turned to the successful strategy of gamification.

Popularity of Online Casinos

With the transition of popular games such as poker, slots, blackjack, and roulette from extravagant ballrooms to the palms of our hands, people felt more freedom to try them. It allowed the ease that was requested by the wider audience and made a multi-billion-dollar business. However, it was necessary to devise strategies to attract and keep players at a specific website.

Various legit online casinos in the Philippines utilize different methods to do so. Among the well-known are the offer of bonuses and promotions to the players, as well as marketing strategies that show creatively designed commercials or the employment of famous people in them.

Casino owners never stop looking for ways to attract players and gamification is the latest strategy.

The Success of the Video Game Industry

Video games have always been popular, but with the technological advancements we have witnessed in recent years, they are on a whole new level. People love to play video games, as the habit is established at a young age. And since video games evolve as people mature it is very easy to nurture the habit. A long time ago people rushed to arcades to play the most popular ones around.

Now, they can do so in the comfort of their homes, at any time they want to. And the gameplay and the graphics are more immersive than ever. If the visual experience elevation is understandable due to the technological advancements and excellent hardware, the gameplay improvements are something different. Games now have so many different aspects besides the main storyline.

Side quests, achievements, incredible characters, and their own stories are increasing the appeal of a certain game. More importantly, these things are nothing spectacular and new, they are now the basic requirements that gamers have when they start playing a game. These things are successfully integrated into other industries, gambling included.

What Is Gamification?

Gamification represents a strategy through which the successful elements and strategies of the video game industry are incorporated into other non-game contexts and businesses to achieve triumph and entertain customers. This is often achieved through the involvement of the game-like elements that help to achieve that feeling of joy when playing video games.

When the connection is established between the non-gaming activity and the video gaming experience, people tap into those feelings that they had when they were kids. It also generates an experience in which the customers feel more involved and elevates the level of their experience.

How Is Gamification Included in Online Casinos?

Now that we have learned the basics, it is time to establish specific examples of how gamification is integrated into online casinos. To establish a connection with video gaming experiences, operators frequently lean on their competitive nature. Gamers and gamblers are both very competitive in general and through a simple placement of leaderboards, operators exploit this trait.

A leaderboard shows who is the best of the best, and they all want to come out on top. It is no longer just about winning money; it is also about recognition and reputation. This is just one of the ways to tap into their need for achievements, missions, and levels. Other means to achieve this are through points, badges, and interactive challenges.

Casino operators define short missions or challenges, and players aim to complete them to gain points. These are later utilized to complete certain achievements, and their completion brings players rewards and recognition. Performing these tasks helps players think of the whole gambling process as a rewarding journey. It increases their feeling of grander achievement.

Conclusion

Online casinos took the attention of gamblers by storm, and with the established and growing player population, casino owners needed to continue their work on the appeal of the gambling experience. One of many strategies included the integration of video game elements and experience, also known as gamification.

Through it, gamblers establish a more immersive experience and a deeper connection to the gambling brand at which they have chosen to play. It is showing incredible results and a natural symbiosis between the two industries, so we can expect more of this in the future.

Open world games have been around since the 1980’s, yet they didn’t really begin to take off until the early 2000’s with the release of Grand Theft Auto III, which set a new standard for open world games, and even video gaming in general. From the freedoms of a giant open sandbox with little limitations, to increased player autonomy, open world games generally receive many hours more play than non open world games as they offer so much more for players.

While storyline is de-emphasised in open world games, players are invited into a whole new world where they can lose themselves in their own exploration of a new place. Open world games aren’t always a hit though as they are difficult to design and often follow the same blueprint of other games. They’re also expensive to create, meaning many open world games are filled with repetitive cookie cutter tasks that can make them boring quickly.

Finding a new game to play can be a challenge when there are so many available, especially when you’re faced with the task of wedding through the not so great games. Whether you’re wondering how to find an online casino?, which mobile games are the best for on the go entertainment?, or you’re after an open world game, it can be time consuming if you don’t use the right resources to find the best games. 

However, fear not as whether you’re a huge fan of open world games or you are looking to try some of the best ones out, below we will take a look at some of the top rated open world games and save you the time in exploring the not so great ones. 

Enshrouded

Released only in January of this year, Enshrouded is a fairly new open world game on the market currently, in which it is also considered a Survival and Action RPG game. This survival base building game offers players the opportunity to develop a space and expand their home while living in a fairy tale type, medieval fantasy aesthetic style of world. Players can gradually expand their voyages across the world as they upgrade the base flame altar.

Players jumping into this game should be aware that, as with most open world games, it is a work in progress and won’t be without its glitches. This can be frustrating, however if you stick with the game then it becomes a real gem that will only keep on getting better as new features are added to the world. 

Palworld

If you’re a fan of the Pokemon franchise then this game will be for you. With stunning graphics, this survival based, monster taming, and explorative game offers players the opportunity to step into a unique world where gameplay is robust and consistent. 

While a lot of content has taken inspiration from other gaming sources, Palworld has expertly brought together this content to create a solid offering that will have players lost in this exciting world for hours on end. Just remember to take frequent breaks as it’s easy to become absorbed in this one. 

Rust

Released in 2018, Rust began as a legacy game and has been through many changes before it reached where it is now. It has long been considered one of the most realistic survival open world games on the market, making it top of the list for the best open world games to try out. 

In the game, players are dumped on an island with ruins of civilization and many other blood thirsty players. The excitement doesn’t end there as players must then spend hours crafting weapons that are strong enough to ensure their survival. Will you build your base first to accommodate your basic needs, only for another player to come and take it from you, or will you invest your time in developing your weapons first, while risking being exposed to the elements and your basic human needs. 

This world is brutal, unforgiving, and has an incredibly high ceiling. As one of the most popular open world multiplayer games out there, it’s not an experience to be missed. 

Grand Theft Auto Online

Returning to a classic, Grand Theft Auto cannot be forgotten as it’s a classic title and one of the most iconic and well known open world games on the globe. With new features constantly being added such as exciting casinos and your very own place to call home, players can spend hours on customization of their own world. 

Best of all, you can choose to play either alongside strangers or friends meaning you won’t be restricted however you choose to play and will have a full social battery by the end of the experience. 

Overall, there are so many open world games out there, however not all of them are worth exploring. Adventuring in an open world game can take many hours and can be trial and error when you’re still finding your way in terms of open world preferences. By exploring the above titles, you’ll be sure to find something that peaks your interest and will have lost hours to the world of the game before you even realize it.

Fans of James Cameron’s Aliens series are up for a treat with the latest game in the franchise, Aliens Dark Descent. Not to be confused with the virtual reality (VR) game title Alien: Descent released in 2018, Dark Descent dabbles in a top-down view (isometric-like view), real-time strategy (RTS) squad-based gameplay wherein the player is given control of a squad of four United States Colonial Marine Corps (USCM) space marines as they progress through the game’s campaign.

Continuing from the story of the original trilogy of Alien films, the game’s story campaign is set in 2198, 19 years after the trilogy film’s events. It follows the USS Otago and its crew as it encounters the deadly Xenomorphs and other hostilities while slowly unveiling the campaign’s dark story and investigating the motives of Weyland-Yutani Corporation’s rogue agents.

Dark Yet Atmospheric Graphics and Decent Character Models

Developer Tindalos Interactive managed to perfectly bring the dark and the atmosphere of suspense with the beautiful graphics used in Aliens Dark Descent using the Unreal Engine. Abandoned space stations with barely lit-up interiors are clean with sharp detail, while stations overran by Xenomorphs and other alien entities are covered with its signature gross, icky material identifiable by fans who watched the films.

However, character models are in the realm of “passable human-like figures” with some minor issues with shadowing and lighting. But overall, the characters look great, especially when the graphic settings are higher (provided you are playing on your PC with capable hardware).

Effects and lighting are bright and impressive in combat, especially in places with dark areas such as the den of a Xenomorph egg farm or a random hallway/room of an abandoned space station. Details such as gunfire blasts, explosions, smoke, gory bits, and even blood have sharp details that can easily add colors to the dark environment.

Aliens’ Horror and Suspense Packaged in Squad-based RTS Gameplay

Fans of games such as XCOM who want to have the same squad-base management and gameplay but in real-time will love Aliens Dark Descent’s take on the said genre. You can still assign actions to each squad member like deploying gun turrets or using special weapons by slowing down the time considerably.

But players shouldn’t be complacent about the time-slowing mechanic as everything in-game is still happening in real-time, as everything inside the game is still in movement (unless the player intentionally pauses the game). Additionally, thanks to the hive system the game’s artificial intelligence (A.I.) uses, the gameplay experience will heavily vary for each run as the enemy smartly adjusts to the player’s actions and reactions in each stage, giving off a rogue-like gameplay that can be unpredictable.

The campaign’s gameplay consists of taking in several missions per day, wherein before being deployed you can customize your squad, upgrade and level up each member and their equipment, and be debriefed about the location you will extract onto. After each mission, you must heal and destress your squad to avoid them performing poorly on the battlefield, or replace a lost member with a new member.

Downsides of a Rogue-like RTS Squad-based Game

Speaking of adding a new member, this is one of the downsides of an XCOM-like game with some rogue-like elements: the permadeath system. That means when you lose a team member, you will lose that member forever (unless you’re willing to do save scumming), including the stats you have invested in that member and the equipment he/she had during their death (unless retrieved within the same mission wherein that member was lost). 

Additionally, after finishing a mission and while recuperating inside the USS Otago, your squad members’ stress levels will be at an all-time high, especially if they’ve lost a team member and will be traumatized. You must manage their stress levels and keep them healthy. If left unchecked, they will perform badly in combat, such as missing their shots, panicking and getting killed, or even worse, muniting against you and your mission.

Lastly, the enemy A.I. can be sometimes unforgiving, especially when it comes to later difficulty levels that may turn off dedicated players of this genre. One moment your squad is mowing down hordes of Xenomorphs without a sweat, and then suddenly your whole team is wiped out after turning inside a corner, forcing you to repeat the level.

Manage Your Space Marines and Survive

Smartly and meticulously planning and staying cool are the keys to enjoying this game. Whether preparing for the next mission or commanding your troops on the battlefield in real-time, the thrill of blasting through waves of Xenomorphs while still clearing your mission objectives and your whole team surviving can be rewarding to many RTS squad-based connoisseurs.

Fans of the Hack-and-Slash genre alongside Action and Adventure mixed with some JPRG elements will love this new game by Aquaria and FURYU Corporation, as CryMachina is a sequel to “Crystar,” the duo’s previous title. Published by NIS America, Inc., players will dive into the world of CryMachina and Leben Distel, the game’s main heroine.

Waking up in a robotic body after dying from a strange disease two thousand years ago, she gets embroiled in a civil war of machines, wherein the dominant side is feral and monstrous. In contrast, the remaining side comprises several robots with personality data of their past human selves as humanity became extinct during Leben’s death.

Guided by Enoa, Leben and her newfound allies from the Imitation Garden – the last haven in Eden – now partake on the seemingly impossible journey of reviving the human race from extinction, while discovering how to become a “real human” themselves. At first, Leben is conflicted, blaming the past humanity for her strange death two millennia ago, but eventually joins in their quest once she softens up and trusts them.

Positive Highlights

Many players familiar with the quick-paced and high-intensity combat and gameplay of titles such as Devil May Cry and Bayonetta will immediately feel at home with CryMachina’s combat. Fans of anime and manga will love its cell-shaded and visual novel-styled graphics, visuals, and cutscenes, giving the feel of Honkai Impact 3rd’s style and theme, although much darker and more neon lights in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk setting.

Gameplay-wise, movements are fluid and responsive as Leben and other characters easily traverse various in-game locations, such as a gigantic space station. The player can freely roam the game’s stages until they encounter their enemies in combat, giving them free range of movement such as jumping, dashing, and evading. 

Sound quality is great, as gunfire, slashes, explosions, and other bombastic and action-packed sound effects are crisp and punchy. When it comes to the background music, it smartly changes depending on the setting, where you are in combat or just viewing a story dialogue. The Japanese voice acting is great too, showing the talents and prowess of the seiyuu (voice actors) behind the characters, providing raw emotion and giving life to their respective roles and characters in the game’s story.

Negative Highlights

Just like any game mixed with JRPG elements here and there, the storytelling aspect of the game and its pacing have taken quite some hits, as it can get convoluted and confusing if you’re not used to this kind of game genre. At first, it may sound simple – human-like robots wishing to become true humans while fighting against destructive machines – but the more you go deeper with CryMachina, the more twists and turns you will encounter.

Another aspect that can be a negative for this kind of game would be the unavoidable repetitiveness, wherein you will be facing the same enemy types (except for some bosses and antagonist characters) repeatedly in the same stage with some variety tossed in between. Play the story, defeat some enemies, meet goal criteria, complete the mission, rinse, and repeat.

And lastly, although the graphics and visuals are great and beautiful to look at, there are some instances that it can be wonky or jarring when it comes to its lighting and shading. Some stages can be super dark, while others are as bright as a sunny day. Also, the character models tend to pop out more than the background and some enemy designs/models in the same cutscene.

Some Other Stuff In CryMachina

When not combat, the game will heavily focus on its story within Imitation Garden, the only haven for people like Leben and her comrades in Eden. This is considered the “downtime” of the game, wherein you as Leben can interact with various characters present within the haven’s premises.

At first, only a few individuals were present in the Garden. But as you progress through the story, you will automatically unlock some characters (especially the other playable characters such as Mikoto) to spice up your next game run as each of the four playable characters have their unique fighting styles and weapons.

Becoming Truly “Human” Again

As Leben and her comrades under Enoa’s guidance fight through the seemingly endless horde of destructive machines, they will slowly and eventually discover their ultimate end goal.

Once former humans two millennia ago before the extinction of humanity, they are now androids with their former human personalities downloaded to their artificial brains, looking for such answers despite seemingly being impossible.

As players guide Leben, they will experience many twists and turns in their journey against the machines as they hack and slash their way toward their ultimate goal: to become “human again.”
