The next review of Another War that comes to a not too enthusiastic conclusion is up at LaodedInc today:
LoadedInc previewed Another War in October . The general impression then was that a potentially fun game needed to come out from behind the slightly odd control system. Our impressions have improved only slightly with the release.
This game is not as different or as clever as it thinks it is. Aiming for a feeling of dry humour known globally as British, the game ends up hitting a nearby target - weirdness. The incidental details are amusing, but they could never save the game if it weren’t playable. Also, what if you haven't seen or heard of 'Allo 'Allo? It may not matter, but in-jokes are called in-jokes because they're going to be lost on anyone who doesn't know what they're based on.
I kind of like Another War; despite its quirkiness and the eventual sinking feeling that it is after all just Another Game, it is an RPG with humour, adventure and excitement. If you enjoy packing rucksacks and feeding cheese to drunks, and shooting and punching German soldiers alot, then you might get some fun out of it. Most of all, and I cannot stress this enough, the developers deserve our praise and encouragement for leaving out the elves, orcs, and wizards. Please let this become a trend… Rating is 6.5/10 |
