Gods:Lands of Infinity review
Gamezone
Overall Rating: 8.1 / 10
GODS: Lands of Infinity is a treat, a rare little gem that surpasses any preconceived notions about the game. It succeeds on several levels and is very entertaining. With a strong storyline, some nice twists in the plot, a grind that feels more like adventure, this is definitely a title worth checking out.

If you’ve played the demo, you will have a sense of how the console-inspired TB combat operates, but it’s not until you have a few companions that the strategic elements really surface. When combat is initiated, your view immediately changes to a combat window where your characters are placed in two rows facing your opponents. You will need to determine not only the placement of each character on either the front or rear row, but also how you wish to develop a character to complement the rest of the party. You can change formations, use your inventory, make an attack, cast a spell, defend yourself, or even run away, but each activity will use up one turn. If you run away, you will lose experience. In addition to this, each action requires a certain number of ’Action Points’. Once these are depleted, you have to rest (defend) for at least one turn to replenish them. They replenish at the rate of 3 per turn and you begin with only 4 AP’s. This is a weakness in an otherwise good system. As the character advances, it should be possible for them to increase either the initial number of AP’s, or the number that are replenished each time they rest. Managing your AP’s effectively is essential to success.

When receiving this item, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect of a Slovakian RPG, much less a downloadable RPG. But to my surprise, it was a quite enjoyable game with a compelling storyline and wonderful background music to boot. Realize that this is not a MMORPG, but a regular RPG. Many people tend to have the idea that because it’s downloaded from the internet it must be a MMORPG, but it’s like any other RPG you play out there. You start with a set character and level up, gaining and losing party members along the way.

Gods: Lands Of Infinity will greatly appeal to the RPG genre’s nostalgics. Thus my heart was filled with joy when first seeing the game, yet I can’t overlook the parts that are lacking. It definitely is the kind of game no-one ever makes these days, embedded in the standards of old, with both good features and embarrassing clichés. Cypron Studios prepared a mysterious journey for the curious newcomer and a vintage experience for the hardcore player. So here you have it, Gods: Lands of Infinity, the kind of game that you either hate or enjoy at first glance

Overall Rating: Thumbs Up
One of this game’s strongest points is the outstanding music that Pavel Krychtalek brings into the game—it is beautiful, masterfully composed and conducted, and most definitely sets the mood for whatever you are currently doing in game. Game graphics are another surprise in that they are most definitely of a high quality that is rare for a brand-new game developer. Another of this game’s strong points is the incredible storyline—it is not only believable, but stays faithful throughout the game (though the game’s ending just literally screams "sequel"). Plot twists and surprises abound throughout, so, until you’ve played the game through once, you are in a constant state of "what next"?

"The rich and colorful graphics really bring the game alive. While your adversaries could have used a little more animation, the rest of the game world looks quite nice. Trees, bushes, and grass were some of the best I have seen, for a big part because of the interaction between objects in the game and the sounds that come through your speakers. For instance, when you are walking you can hear the swishing of the grass. Or it does at least until it gets replaced by the sounds of combat!"

We were just recently tipped off about this newsbit - distinguished Misha Ironfist and Aleksandr Kuljaev have had their Russian Gods Review released for some little time - complimenting our game with a nice overall rating.

The Armchair Empire
Overall Rating: 6.5/10
The voice acting, while bland, isn’t terrible and definitely no worse than much of the non-Patrick Stewart acting in Oblivion. Now and then a few giggleworthy lines betray the translated nature of the text, (ie. “I am a man, lord of procreation,”) but there is a reasonable variety in voices and even some attempts at intentional comic relief. The music, by Pavel Krychtalek, is superior, evocative and a little haunting, reminding me of a slightly Slavic version of the theme from Morrowind.
In all, Gods: Lands of Infinity won’t set yours or any other world on fire, but it is a fun diversion and maybe an enjoyable change of pace, and I do look forward to Cypron’s future releases.

Other than that, Gods comes across as a great first-person RPG that will keep you entertained for a good number of hours (about 20-30). You will meet other great adventurers on your journey, as well as a parade of fantastic creatures including gorons, giant spiders (it wouldn’t be an RPG without them), trolls, bandits and even unicorns.
Gods: Lands of Infinity surprises you with unexpected plot twists until you see the end of Vivien’s adventure. It does a great job of keeping you on your toes with unexpected situations and different party members coming and going. Although it needs a few edges polished, this is a game I would strongly recommend to any RPG enthusiast.

Titel, die ich getrost als klassisches Computer-Rollenspiel bezeichnen würde, sind in den letzten Jahren sehr rar geworden. Mit Wehmut erinnert man sich noch an die wenigen neueren Spiele wie Wizardy 8 oder Arx Fatalis zurück, die dieses Spielgefühl vermitteln konnten. Gods: Lands of Infinity schafft das fast genauso gut. Zwar wirkt das Spiel insgesamt noch etwas unfertig (zum Beispiel das Alchemie-System, das nur spärlich ins Spiel integriert wirkt oder die großen freien Flächen auf der Landkarte), aber für ein kleinen Preis von ca. 20 Euro erhält man eine gut strukturierte und abwechslungsreiche Fantasy-Welt mit zahlreichen Schurken und Monstern, mit taktischen Gefechten und einigen Möglichkeiten bei der Charakterentwicklung. Die Spielzeit dürfte sich auf um die 20 bis 25 Stunden belaufen, also für ein RPG nicht unbedingt grandios. Trotzdem bekommt man für sein Geld recht viel geboten. Als Vollpreisspiel hätte ich keine vier Punkte vergeben, in diesem Fall geht es aber schon ums Prinzip. Deshalb gibt es auch einen Award meinerseits. Bitte Cypron, beeilt euch mit dem Add-On!

Overall Rating: 6 / 7
Defense of your base sometimes turns into unbelievable bloodshed when in just
a few minutes there appears enourmous amount of debris of enemy masinery in front
of your defence line…
Original text:
Obrana vaší základny se občas mění v neuvěřitelná jatka, kdy za pár minut je
před dělovými věžemi či obranným perimetrem opravdu neuvěřitelný shluk vraků
nepřátelských vozidel.

Playing SoW brought back sort of relaxing blissfulness… I enjoyed ongoing war
frenzy, spectacular explosions and flying debris all around, murmur of the giant
armour squats of thousands of armored vehicles. I enjoyed a role of conqueror-destructor
style of play, I felled satisfaction over stupidity of computer-driven tanks
crushing in endless chains on my well build wall of turrets… I wage this primordial
joy was the reason why so many people picked up RTS in the early days of the
genre that seem so far away nowdays…
Original text:
Hraní SOW ve mně už od začátku vyvolávalo jakousi relaxační blaženost… Měl jsem
radost z neustávající vřavy efektních výbuchů včetně všude létajících trosek,
ze syslení obřích obrněných svazů čítajících stovky vozidel, radost z dobyvatelsko-bezohledné
destrukce nepřátelských držav, uspokojení nad hloupostí počítačem řízených tanků,
v nekonečné šňůře se tříštících o moje chytře postavené obranné věže… Skoro bych
se vsadil, že tahle mnou popisovaná radost je prapůvodní důvod, co přilákal většinu
RTS příznivců. Důvod, který se dneska už prakticky vytrácí.

… Although the game engine is not 3-D the terrain feels very plastic and so does
the units. Machines move perfectly, shoot even better and on the top of it there
are spectacular explosions. And there is even more. I was taken away by looks
of bombers and huge buildings applied in relative size (to tanks) directly in
the game. Powerful bomber dropping ammunition on target is simply amazing… or
its debris buried in the ground… the countryside is also enriched by trees, pools
it is simply eye-catching
Original text:
Ačkoli se nejedná o 3D engine, terén působí velmi plasticky, stejně tak jednotky.
Stroje se skvěle pohybují, ještě lépe střílejí a všechno předčí už jenom opravdu
nádherné výbuchy. Všechno vlastně ne. Nejvíc mě dostalo asi zpracování bombardérů
a ohromných staveb, zakomponovaných v příslušné velikosti (k tankům) přímo do
hry. Mocný bombardér svrhávající bomby na cíl… nebo jeho trosky zaryté v zemi
vypadají naprosto úchvatně. Krajinu, mimo budov, trosek a stavebních komplexů
obohacují i stromy či jezírka, zkrátka pastva pro oči.

I am playing State of War like a week everyday and I still cannot stop!, the
game is really pretty cool and very addictive :) If you liked Warzone 2100 (my
favorite RTS game), you will love State of War. But this game isn't exactly the
same like Warzone 2100, but State of War is more about action (more fights, more
explosions...) The screen sometime reminded me crazy massacres ala Diablo2 (your
mouse will soon overheated by clicking) but here are tanks, bombers, fighters...
State of War simply rocks!!! |
