Who have long been read, can remember short novostyushku about the possible porting of domestic famous quest on iOS-device. And if two years ago, it was only a faint hope, but now it's a real dream sbychu! The legendary Division Commander with his "squire" and other favorite characters still come down to "apple" tablets and smartphones. :)
Yeah, something like this had to respond to any self-respecting oldfagov to hear this great news. :) However, "Buka" did an amazing trick, releasing the first part of the game for "android", and the second - for the iOS-devices. But puzzled fans have promised not to delay delivery on both platforms missing parts. That's okay. Most importantly, the ice was broken, and while you can relish reminisce past Springtime, when the Petka Chapay and, having saved Galaxy from space zaslantsev now have to rake the personal contact with extraterrestrial implications civilization.
Retell the story of the humorous quest twice a thankless task. First, skilled and without my heart remembers all the adventures matched each with companions. And secondly, to throw spoilers youth as a very un-human. Especially when virtually every phrase in the dialogues must necessarily be heard and felt.
Therefore, a very brief to say that it is a real masterpiece of the domestic game development in the last century, and play it on your favorite "apple" - a matter of honor for every gamer patriot. :) Especially if you, like me, feel a special excitement of old-fashioned drawing, in which "three-te" was used to draw a maximum of locations and characters were all drawing and two-dimensional. I'm all for technological progress, but in the case of VIChom and Petya - a staunch reactionary. :)
As the game looks
Given that the game is already 16 years old, no wonder that in visual terms, "Petka 2" remained almost classic status. We can say "stock record", if you know what I mean. :) Although it looks very bad, even on the screen, whose resolution is twice that of the famous models "eelteshnyh pyatnashek" in 1999. Good noticeable pixelation, undoubtedly plays a plus, highlighting the advanced age of the quest and maintaining a veil the last century, when the gaming technology was not so advanced, that part of the story could easily neglected. ;)
However, one detail after rezanula eye - the blue arrow pointing to the transition point between locations. They added right now and they are so neat and glossy, it is absolutely drop out of the general style of the game. Is not cool.
How the game is played
The whole gameplay is tied to the action menu, which provides five basic commands and access to the case with inventory, map and save the settings and menus. Do not be amiss to remind often spend sightseeing (eye icon) and attempt All and all popolzovavshis (hand with expanders) - is the key to a good half of all major sebaceous jokes characters. ;)
So, with regard to the action menu... Given that iOS and no mouse cursor, there are some disadvantages. If the PC was caused by the actions menu at any point of the screen by right-clicking the mouse, the mobile menu is called only through an icon in the upper right corner of the screen. this is not an issue for smartphone users, but if you play on the tablet - will have to wave your hands. It would be much easier if the action menu was caused by, for example, and tap and hold your finger anywhere on the screen.
But this is nothing compared to the fact that the game does not autosave. Young people in shock? ;) Autosave came up a little later, so that the "Petka 2 'is very relevant long-forgotten piece of advice: regularly beforeSAVE! After all, even if you temporarily switch to another program, returning to see title sequence "Buki" and "Skiff" - and have to replay again. However, it is also a sure way to hear jokes missed.
As the game felt
Honestly, I'm very interested in how "Petka" will accept peers toys and those who are a little older. Dialogues in a quest filled with allusions not only to become classic movies, but also in the old advertising slogans, software late 90s, other gaming hits of the time. However, even if these jokes will pass over you, men-only (yes, in the sense) and an army of humor - is from the category of eternal - will always be relevant.
But who exactly will be delighted with the toys, so it is all the veterans of the gaming front, who lived in an era when "Vasily Ivanovich and Petka" first appeared on CD-ROM, a leisurely eight-rustling in sit-drives. :) There is just a very useful experience, which context to tell jokes and funny stories from real life, remind ...
In general, a nostalgic product. And it's great that he finally appeared. We look forward to the first part. Especially it is much steeper than the second.
Inzhoy. :)
