amazon Daymare 1998 reviews
Daymare: 1998 brings the true atmosphere of survival horror games from the last decade with a world lacking in electric lights, dead zombies, and a mysterious storyline told by the main character … trust!
The story in the game takes place in 1998 (you don’t even need to play the game to know this), an isolated lab has a riot and the special team H.A.D.E.S is sent to solve it.
But you quickly learn that this is not just a common riot and the criterion “survived” is placed above the mission.
Play as 3 characters with 3 different perspectives on a terrible biological accident, you will be playing the role of an experienced soldier but cold blood – Kiev, the sentimental Raven pilot, the ranger Samuel and each will give you a different answer in the story you find.
The graphics of the game are not too beautiful but not too bad for an indie game, but especially the colors in the game are very well made, bearing the atmosphere of a classic horror game (or a set American B-grade horror movies often seen).
And like the seniors in the same genre, the “horror” part must always accompany the “survival” part.
Resources are scarce, the undead is as many as piglets, along with the extremely limited inventory and you have to choose what to carry and what to throw away.
The puzzles of the game are also done quite well, it is not too difficult, but in the context of life is “a thousand pounds hanging hair”, a quick judgment is something not everyone can do.
Although it is quite limited, you will still have options to fight against the undead, not just … lie still and enjoy, the characters will have 3 main weapon slots to defeat the “brain eaters”.
However, try to avoid the fight as much as possible because your ammo is not as limitless as the action film’s guns, and do not use it indiscriminately in front of the “monsters”.
Keep in mind that a fat guy who loves cuddling or a zombie agent will need more bullets in the head than a hot girl wearing a blouse.
A small share is to try to combine resources (which will take a lot of your time) and try to keep weapons always full of ammunition while in a safe zone, because when the corpse comes, you won’t have time for those things.
Unlike Resident Evil, you cannot choose which character you want to start with, you will have to play the characters that the game designates throughout the 5 levels of the campaign.
But the transition between characters is done very well and smoothly, with little awkwardness when you from a pilot betrayed by a teammate to a ranger or hallucinations.
Besides, mini-games like hacking machines to open hidden rooms or small Easter Eggs also make the game more interesting (like Jill Sandwich).
The pursuit of the shadow of the classic titles also leaves Daymare: 1998 far behind in the mechanics, compared to the titles released at the same time.
First of all, with the annoyances of gathering and combining resources, Daymare: 1998 doesn’t have the slightest amount of flexibility in turning that dull job into an enjoyable experience.
Not to mention that they always want to hide the cartridges or blood somewhere as hidden as possible and the matching options are too time-consuming (because most of the time you have to do them manually).
If you have to give an example of a collection mechanism, Days Gone deserves a good example for Daymare: 1998 to study.
Weapons of the game are also very poor in type, most of them are the same and except for shotguns, there is no difference in attack.
The lines in the game are very stiff, boring and the main characters spend too much time talking about “their own worldview” or explaining problems under “multi-dimensional perspectives”, which caused the main storyline to be seriously distracted.
Even when the producer tries to get the characters to say a joke, with the faces made of bad expressions, everything the characters say is like someone stuck a knife in the neck and start reading according to the script.
The “jump scare” of the game also makes everything more uncomfortable than fearful, the most frustrating feeling is that when you are running away from the undead, a madman rushes. Get out from a stuck corner or behind the door and take away 20 of your blood!
The boss of the game is designed as a mobile “meat grinder” machine, most of you will run like never before and try to shoot him in the head as much as possible and if you run out of bullets, just stand still and play again. Going because melee attacks are of no use (not even lasting time).
The game also has no character viewing options, for someone who is used to having the character on the right side of the screen, the way Daymare: 1998 always makes you play the character on the left is annoying.
The game also does not have a manual save, which in the absence will cause you to suffer and always fear that everything you can do will fall.
