Rendezvous
_Do you remember what they say when someone dies here?
They “go home”.
They reunite with their loved ones in their warm home, in the hereafter…
Like Mom and Dad now. I miss them. I miss our warm home.
But I don’t want both of us to die to get there.
At least this time, I want a warm family night.
Not just a bunch of cold money in the morning.
Can you do this, Brother? Just once?_

Brutal Fate
Brutal Fate is a fast-paced ultra-violent retro first-person shooter inspired by 80’s and 90’s sci-fi movies. As a marine from the Global Order Alliance sent to Callisto to take over the local corporate government, you find yourself surrounded by legions of demonic alien invaders and you must fight for your survival.
It blends the best features of classic shooters such as non-linear level design, a huge arsenal and large enemy variety with some modern aspects, making it a unique mix that does not try to hang on nostalgia, but be something of it’s own.
This game is a finely crafted first-person experience designed to be the most satisfying and detailed possible. Enemies that can be dismembered and exploded into pieces, destroyable environments including lamps, cars and even trees. All many details that makes you really feel like you are in a real living world.

-
This game features a huge arsenal of weapons that may require the use of all your keyboard numbers to scroll through. We got battle rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, smart missiles, laser rifles, you name it.
-
Immerse yourself in a 3 episode campaign, with branching patches, multiple endings, and a story full of twists.
-
Fight an entire circus of monstrosities, carnivorous demons, zombie-like cultists, shuffling supernatural incomprehensible abominations from beyond, and corporate henchmen that want to make sure you won’t leave this haunted colony alive after seeing everything you just did. Just like in classic fps style, each enemy type acts like a piece of chess made to compensate the weakness of another. Gib them into delicious meat pieces, burn them to ashes, almost every enemy features locational damage and dozens of death animations, including different deaths for different weapons used.
-
Explore huge non-linear levels, look for secrets to find special rare alternative ammo types for your weapons, health and armor upgrades, and much more. No “procedural generated levels”, no faux-retro arena level design, just handcrafted levels by someone with over 10 years of experience in classic game level design. Get the feeling of exploring believable highly interactive locations, fight enemies in many different scenarios, scripted or not, pick them alone or in small groups and sometimes try to come up with a strategy to fight up to 50 enemies at once.
-
Command your fellow marines out of this hell. Your character’s rank as a Staff Sergeant isn’t only for show. Find any survivors of this disastrous operation and they will follow you. They have an acceptable AI that will actually follow your commands, won’t block your movement, and will kill enemies for you. Magnificent, isn’t it?
-
Mod it until it breaks. Running on the highly reliable GZDoom engine, this game is extremely easy to be modified. You can make mods, add custom weapons, enemies, levels, and entire new user-made campaigns.
Plot
In the end of the 21th century, after a catastrophic nuclear war followed by a famine that wiped out half of Earth, the remaining governments united their military under the same banner in a vow to prevent another disaster, and so the Global Order Alliance was born.
Later the G.O.A. united with corporations in an effort to terraform and colonize other planets in the solar system, by using a method that allowed artificial black holes to be created at the center of the planets to imitate Earth’s gravity. 60 years later when the terraforming of Mars and Jupiter’s moons were completed and mass migration started, the corporations betrayed the Terran governments and decided to declare independency and not use their newfound resources to help Earth get back on it’s feet. Their moto was “We terraformed these planets and now everything on them belongs to us. If you want these resources, come and take it."
Betrayed and left for dead, the peoples from all around the world vowed to invade the colonies and take back what belongs to Earth. The armies of the G.O.A. which were once considered heroes and peacekeepers of mankind, became a violent, fanatic, imperialistic military legion. They launched military campaigns against Mars and Io that lasted for decades. Now the year is 2297 and the people of Callisto started rebelling against the corporate rule due to recent strange phenomena caused by the planet’s artificial black hole, all the interplanetary communications are shut down by the regime, and the G.O.A. sees this as a perfect opportunity to invade the planet and “liberate” it with the local population’s support. The corporate conglomerates warns that the situation in Callisto is “complicated” and warns Earth to stay away from it.
You are part of a special international battalion of the Space Division of the G.O.A. Marine Corps sent to intermediate the situation. After a four month journey, you arrive at the planet with orders to destroy the corporate government forces and secure their industrial facilities. Drone scans shows literally hundreds of thousands of dead bodies littering the streets, apparently they genocided the local populace which saves you from the work of having to watch your targets… Your orders are clear: Descend into the planet with companies of battle-hardened Marines, combat androids, tanks, mechs, gunships and orbital artillery, and eliminate any colonial military forces you may find. They are considered dangerous irregular war criminals and you have no legal requirement to grant them any human rights, engage on contact. All weapons are clear… Exterminate with extreme prejudice, just the way the Marines likes to operate.
The Marines quickly find out that something is wrong. The planet is dead. Non-combatants and colonial guard alike were slaughtered, women and children included. No signs that a war happened here, some bodies defiled in unspeakable macabre religious rituals.
You realize that what killed these people weren’t humans, it weren’t using guns, and it’s still here. An unfathomable evil from beyond lurks these dead streets, its hungry eyes are gazing upon you. Do you have what it takes to survive?

Игра крутая, атмосфера и диалоги на том же уровне, что и в мультиках Миши, геймплей может и не супер-интересный, но мне понравилось. Да, после смерти надо перепроходить уровень заново, но разве так не во всех шутерах? На некоторых уровнях иногда нужно подумать, чтоб понять, как попасть на следующий - это плюс. По поводу багов - в некоторых кат-сценах у меня был очень сильный шум в правом наушнике, и один раз провалился в текстуры зайдя в угол. Но попрыгав там несколько минут даже смог вылезти. Кроме этих двух моментов проблем с игрой не заметил, и в целом мои ожидания оправданы, Миша выпустил что обещал - “по сути полноценный мульт с возможностью собственноручно размызжевать ёбла в кровавый понос”. Так вот мульт есть, ёбла можно сотнями крушить кучей разных способов, локации проработаны и атмосферны, саундтрек отличный, поэтому не совсем понимаю, что ожидали те, кто недоволен игрой. Разве что хотелось бы побольше уровней и кат-сцен, ибо я прошёл игру за 10 часов даже со всеми рестартами. Тем не менее, игру рекомендую и жду продолжения(и полнометражку конечно).

Забагована в гавно… Ее хоть кто-то тестировал вообще? Во первых нет элементарной функции перезапустить уровень или чекпоинт, так что если ты застрял в текстурах то нужно выходить в главное меню и начинать заново. Во вторых боевка в ближнем бою на уровне старых флэш игр, но это как наркоманы в подъезде: хочешь попасть в хату, прийдется пройти мимо, а там как повезет. Враги на первом уровне постоянно застревают в коробках. В третих на первом же уровне баг,после первого боя, после заставки, ломающий игру. Если тебя убивают, (а это как тусоваться в компьютерном клубе с кучей гопарей, это только вопрос времени, когда ты услышишь “Эй слышь дисюда бля”) то ты перезапускаешься всегда на одном и том же месте под надписью “Миша, где мульт” (иронично), полностью невидимый без возможности двигаться куда либо, кроме как вверх, вниз. После чего собственно единственное, что ты можешь делать это пойти вниз, пропрыгать в пол и умереть от чего-то (возможно от стыда). Но на этом не заканчивается. После нажатия кнопки продолжить, ты появляешься во втором уровне без особого понимания где ты и сколько заставок и прочего добра ты пропустил в первом уровне.. Плюс в момент когда ты, невидимый после очередной смерти, проклацаешь выбор оружия до 3, то у тебя магическим образом появиться калаш и игра зависнет окончательно. После многих попыток я пришел к выводу что эти баги, как правительство РФ. Всегда есть и всегда одни и те же..

Flashback
This game isn’t Big Rigs levels of buggy, but it’s the closest i’ve ever gotten to playing something like it. The controls sometimes glitch out and Conrad just won’t ride an elevator or draw his gun (or change the direction he’s aiming in) unless you try doing other actions first to correct them. And if you hold the aim button while climbing a ledge, Conrad will walk towards where he’s gonna aim (often causing him to fall), rather than obeying your direction input. There is a brief moment where you can initiate a jump AFTER falling off from a ledge, and since the jump startup is a bit delayed, it’s incredibly obvious when it happens and looks totally bizarre. By the way, Conrad can freely change his trajectory during falls, which is great in a platformer… but this is a Prince Of Persia-like, and doing it here feels WAY off. And there’s one instance (the beginning of the Club) where you are supposed to ride a lift up and from there jump to a ledge with a window… but if you just jump towards the wall and hold up (to try and climb a ledge) Conrad suddenly gains a ton of height upon touching the wall and grabs on!

I loved the original flashback, I love that they tried to bring it back, but this just feels…. wrong. It’s glitchy, more arcadey, etc. experience, and some of the changes are just horrifying.
I’ve almost beaten the game at the time of writing this, and I’ve discovered that some parts of the game are just unplayable with gamepad, which is a surprise considering this game is kinda horrible with kbd+mouse, this mostly caused with the aim snapping to 4 up-down-left-right angles with gamepad, disallowing finer aiming control which is possible with mouse alone for some reason.
