First Sonyreturn the money for the pre -order of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare For PS4 in Russia, then the name of our country in the game is replaced by a mysterious castovia, and after that the St. Petersburg Canal and the Temple of the Savior, the Blood Channel appear in the trailer ..
All these suspicious events aroused us with a desire to remember how in the games they portrayed Russia or the Soviet Union. But we tried to do without very hackneyed examples like Red Alert, Syberia, Singularity or Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia – You already know everything about them. Instead, we collected a dozen more ancient or little -known projects and looked at them from the modern prospect.
No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.’S way
The sequel of the great parody-spi game about the charming special-agent Kate Archer, who is trying to prevent the villains trying to unleash the third world war in the mid-sixties. In the second part, she goes to Siberia for three long and complex missions, and the country's flavor through the eyes of the average fan-American fan there was conveyed there perfectly. The players interested in Russian culture are waiting for bear Candyland Casino sister sites traps as weapons, Soviet soldiers, nostalgic for Murmansk and pies, as well as a herring recipe under a fur coat as a particularly valuable treasure.
World in Conflict
Amazingly naive strategic cranberries about how the USSR, afraid to fall apart due to the economic crisis, invades the USA and European countries. And, of course, he is rebuffed from the heroic American officer who protects the independence of the homeland in the company of the soldier’s orava, dozen tanks and a couple of nuclear missiles. In general, it turned out good RTS in the manner Ground Control – And if you are calm about the hackneyed cliches about evil Russians, you will get a lot of tactical pleasure.
War Front: Turning Point
Another unimaginable nonsense in the strategy genre is this time with an alternative-historical setting, where Hitler was killed at the very beginning of World War II, a long technological war ensued between Germany and Britain, and the USSR, taking advantage of the moment, invaded Western Europe. On the battlefields, we will find German soldiers in exoskeletons, British tanks with power fields and combat vodka, which Soviet soldiers drink to increase the fighting spirit. Everything is how we love.
Freedom Fighters
A forgotten but almost perfect casual tactical shooter with a third person about how an American plumber (not to be confused with Mario) organizes a partisan underground. And the main enemy is, of course, the USSR troops that captured America in the name of the communist paradise around the world. From the iconic features of the project – the funny shouts of the Soviet soldiers “Come here, bastard!"And the invariable heroic pathetic with the hoisting of the American flag in the place of a cumber canvas with a sickle and a hammer.
Vanquish
Japanese view of the problem of Russian imperialism, where elements are mixed in a wild cocktail GEARS of WAR, Crysis And Bayonetta. In the role of an American agent, we will have to restore control of the captured Russian space station, which threatens New York with total destruction. Gameplay – a hybrid of a shooter, slasher and devil knows what else: in a cybernetic suit we run, jump, slide, chop, shoot and send a crowd of Russian robots to the other world. And here you can smoke to distract the enemy – in a word, brilliant!
You are empty
The domestic shooter, which at one time had enormous hopes, but quickly spat after the release. And it’s a pity, because the project has a unique stylistic: the alternative USSR of the 1950s on the verge of communism achieved, mutants, who should become the “ideal builders of the Soviet future”, and a cluttered town, whose residents decided to check this scientific theory.
The rest is a classic shooter, but with unique enemies: from chickens of overgrows and grandfathers Mazaev with double-barreled ones to the zombie red-Army soldier.
Kholat
Paradoxically, in this Polish project there is no “bad Russians”, although it is about the USSR. Before us is a hybrid of a walking simulator with a classic horror with scamers, offering an alternative look at the history of the death of the Dyatlov group. The player wanders through the forests of the Urals, enters abandoned churches and a bunker on Mount Kholatchakhl, and also shies from mysterious abnormalities and supernatural creatures from local myths and legends. Nothing unusual, but very atmospheric.
"Black Tag"
Thoroughly forgotten project of a domestic company "Orion" , known for its trash-feeding " Metro-2 "(Not to be confused with the franchise according to the books of Glukhovsky) and" Inhabited island: Alien among strangers ". If you discard the skepticism, you can have a fun time in the Black Tag: in alternative Russia, the near future player gets used to the role of a person who became a hero of the reality show against his will, where the audience watches the “marked” try to kill everyone who is not laziness. The developers came out a good cross of action in the spirit Condemned: Criminal Origins, tied in close combat, and stealth in manner Manhunt.
"Borodino: science to win"
Few people now remember this small, but very proud strategy – in the end, in 1997, not everyone could afford a computer. But those who still found the first game about the battle of Borodin, later much warmer " Cossacks ", Who took a lot from this modest Wargam. All according to the classics: in step -by -step mode we move troops and plan tactical maneuvers, and during the battles we beat Napoleonic soldiers in real time. But most of all, in the project, of course, not a combat system was clinging to, but an incredible historical reliability at that time.
V.L.A.D.I.K.
And finally – a little game. Before you, accidentally excavated in the open spaces of the Steam Trash from the Russian studio Narko Games , releasing game with characteristic names like Dark Sasi And ABASRALSA. In Vladik, we are provided with a world free for research, where the President of Russia became the “Naebral” tyrant, which flooded the army of superhumans in order to crush the opposition’s hydra and any dissent. You can shoot from "Kalash", ride a battered "Lada" and fight with cybercopters.
In a word, not only foreigners are capable of releasing nonsense about Russia about Russia.
And what other games with Russian setting do you like, value, or at least just remember? Share examples in the comments.
