Dusty wind of the Wild West has breathed life into the original Wild Arms. Spirit of this western magically transformed an ordinary fantasy RPG. Faded colors of the boundless prairies, solitary wanderers, traveling in search of fortune and, of course, firearms, forbidden legacy of a distant past - a proven formula wandered out of the game in the game. And no one is surprised that the Cowboys get on with magicians and knights against the backdrop of castles and villages.
Wild Arms 4 does not change the style of their predecessors, but gets rid of the fantasy. Grandiose battles with innovations and technological progress have not yet erased from the memory population Filgayi (Filgaia), the land of endless battles. From the benefits of civilization were only rusty rails and skeletons of tanks. Poluvymershie towns live in constant fear of bandits, not relying on government assistance. But thirteen Jude (Jude) is in blissful ignorance: it is far from the horrors of post-war period and even unaware of the dark past of their own country while his home village is not visited by a warship with the prisoner Julia (Yulie) on board. The guy immediately fancies himself the savior of the brave: still, it does not help the lady in distress! The adventure begins ...
| | | Evil monsters rush to the heroes, though they know that the health of the team itself is restored after each fight. | | Worth the characters stand in the same area during the fighting, as intelligence begins to bubble. Well mastered the combo attacks! | Separate introductory scripts for the main characters in the past. However, the lack of information will not complain - long hours and his partner willingly talk about himself. Most of the talk is illustrated by unexpectedly old-fashioned way: static portraits of the characters are replaced by scenes on the engine. Own illustrations have received and ordinary citizens. Alas, podgruzku image takes a few seconds, and a survey of the local population quickly becomes a true test of patience. Their share of screen time and gets the opposing side: regular broadcast events from the enemy's headquarters introducing the history Filgayi and future adversaries.
RPG undergo the gamer reflexes cleaner other arcade platformer, and Wild Arms 4 - no exception. Jude take the rap for the whole team, squatting and jumping better than Lennet from Valkyrie Profile. It is necessary to break into another abyss, and have to go through a room-level again. The unique ability to move at double speed helps Judah cope with the trials on agility, as well as finding hidden treasures. Exercise enliven the usual running around the maze, although sometimes turn into a real ordeal. So I want to say - put it off-ka, this acrobatic trick for tomorrow! - But seyvpoynt far behind at the entrance to the dungeon ... Indispensable puzzle for the first time in the history of Wild Arms solved without the participation of associates. All necessary tools Jude picks up on the road and just as easily parted with them. Still carry more than one subject will not work.The most difficult thing is just to get to the puzzle, not having lost found, after jumping from a cargo in the hands of the hero can not.
| | | Heroes and their opponents are on the battlefield randomly. For color band will have to fight! | | Sometimes the battle ends with a pleasant discovery - one of seven zones appears treasure chest. | From platformer in Wild Arms 4 moved and linear levels-the-road. Surprisingly, a sense of endless space travel has not disappeared: prattle satellites and detailed landscapes to convince more opostylevshih walks on the map in search of the next destination. And to admire in the ruins of the world is what. Inexpressive wasteland Wild Arms 3 gave way to snow-covered mountains, the embankments ghost towns and the remains of huge structures, like the Great Wall of China. What can we say about the main maze, which prove that faded paint - not a hindrance in the creation of stylish species.
Turn-based battle transformed by the new combat system. Battlefield is divided into seven hexagons. Colored zones have elemental properties, and some characters like Jude and Julia can take advantage of unique skills. The alignment of forces in the field depends on the will of the case. Priority is determined by the parameter of the speed. Attacks and spells are not directed at individual characters, but on the area in which they reside. Stick together and dangerous, and useful: the risk of losing a few teammates at once above, but the protective spells to use much more convenient. Entrenched in a hexagon - and the shooting at the enemies. Those too are not left in debt, does enjoy the skills to deteriorating status of heroes. Simple alternation of normal attacks and special techniques to destroy the monsters will not be honored. Do the opponents have both strengths and weaknesses that must be considered in the battle. Die almost as easily as in the series Megami Tensei, but in case you lose a player is given a chance to replay the battle. Characters develop in a predetermined pattern, and choose skills not to your taste, but the tactical abilities of the lack of alternatives is almost not affected. Different conditions of the fighting did not give to any of the four heroes to try on the role of the universal soldier and forever to settle on the bench. Did that experience sometimes distributed unevenly. Bonus Points are credited only for the destruction of monsters, so the same Julia, a specialist for treatment, immediately begins to lag behind teammate.
No arcade trials can not do none of this maze. Exciting battles, plenty of puzzles and the gradual revelation of the plot in small portions - that's ready to potential hit? Alas, the story itself gives the impression of a double. Thoughts about the pitfalls of democracy and the ambiguity of good and evil coexist peacefully with the frankly weak dialogue and predictable twists. The developers seemed afraid of their own courage and hurry back to the beaten tracks. An outstanding adventure and I got nothing but entertaining Wild Arms 4 does not refuse.
| Monsters with switch | Cluchaynye fights with monsters continue to complicate the search for razgadok in the maze. Wild Arms 4 is not eliminating a player from combat duty, but in some dungeons are invited to clean seyvpoynt of dark energy. A purified seyvpoynt recalls the power supply. De-energize vrazhin annoying - and strolled calmly.
