Diabolik: The Original Sin: Review

Who is a diabolic? Who? The brain frantically tries to reanimate the image of a familiar character. Bingo! Information found. This hero flickered on the screen in the film of the same name, cartoon and even in the video Beasty Boys. The last screen incarnation is recommended only to those who saw the previous two, because there the character was conceived by parody.

"Although he crosses the law, he has solid ethical principles"

The developers did not take care of those who, for any reason, are not familiar with the diabolic – no bright introductory video with a story about the difficult fate of the hero do not wait. With videos in Diabolik: The Original Sin In general, trouble. Most look like animated screensavers, stylized for comics – black and white pictures made at the level of work of the fifth grader. Of these, we learn that the fighting girlfriend of the diabolic – Eve – is abducted, and the villain who holds her in his nasty gangsters, also exhibits a number of conditions. Like, I will free the chusobu if you steal a picture for me. I prepared everything, thought out – your business is only to deliver to me the desired work of art. Well, if you are not such a cool thief, as everyone is talking about you, you will go with Eve to the next world, and I will laugh loudly and rollerly, as befits a real villain. What can you do – the diabolic is urgently departed to the train on which there is an object for abduction, and we are dull weaving after him.

If this tie was not impressed by someone, and he wants to learn more about the protagonists with whom the next few hours have to spend, then we are mercy in the menu – there they placed a small description of the personalities of three key characters for the particularly curious people. This is a kind of self -service – we regretted the story about heroes in the opening video, so go yourself and read it if you are so interested.

So you’re what – Stealth -adventure

"This is a brilliant example of a rare Stealth -adventure genre in recent years", – This is the description of the game on the site yourself-know-how-Localizer. Hmm, rare genre, I do not argue. So rare that Diabolik: The Original Sin – Literally the first project with this description.

First, we are invited to choose a passage mode. There are two options – "Just boring" And "Boring with perversions". In other words, we solve uninteresting tasks and watch dull videos or periodically nervous and distracted by unpretentious manipulations of the mouse. For example, in order to open the castle, it is necessary to draw a master line without touching the walls of the well, or make an accurate shot, stopping running points on the screen in a certain position. The voltage, of course, is not comic – you are nervous, sweat, but all because if you comprehend failure, then everything will have to be repeated first.

Diabolica is a good protagonist who could draw out the whole story on himself if the developers tried at least with a drop of logic to approach the plot and, especially, to gameplay. Most amazes the way to solve the tasks. Since diabolicilik is all such a clever, professional thief, who has always a bunch of useful equipment bought in a shop in his pocket "All for thefts and crimes", then what artist he uses it so rarely? I don’t give a damn that there is a master of the risk – we will, under the risk of detection, stole a magnetic card, which we will open the room, spend time on its search, find the key, open them the second room, where after the search we will find another key, which will already open the treasured door so necessary for advance forward. And there, after all, look for the key again…. Eh. What is Stealth if the hero behaves so rash and stupid? "Spectacular fights and thefts using ultramodern technology" – Apparently, a crowbar and nippers found in a box with tools-this is the ultramodern technique of our woe-Super-hero.

Graphics, music, voice acting – we will not devote much time to these elements, because they are no different from the above plot and gameplay. Here all the components are selected surprisingly harmoniously – no one in the developer team decided not to stand out, so as not to spoil a pleasant note with such a wretched product. Bravo, for Diabolik: The Original Sin turned out to be terrible in all respects.

Pros: They are not – unless, someone will interest the main character and watch a good movie.
Cons: plot, graphics, voice acting, tasks – everything is equally terrible.this web
