Five: Guardians Of David: Video Overview Games

In the genre “We are also like Diablo“There is always a particularly acute problem of a shortage of new ideas and uniqueness. But not in the case of Five: Guardians of David – It is unlikely that you will also find an action / RPG, in which the biblical story about King David is served by savory comics, and the player manages at once five characters, voiced actors from The Walking Dead And The Wolf Among US..Most skills are “sharpened” to stun, slow down or discard enemies to land.
David and Goliath

Indeed, plot Five: Guardians of David taken from the Bible, but it sounds more boring than playing. The story of how David passed the path from the shepherd to Tsar Israel and Judea, turned out to be much more interesting than most of the template scenarios about the salvation of the world and the search for another very powerful artifact.

After the legendary victory over the giant Goliath David, who served at the court of King Saul, managed to be and the hero, and the exile, whom Saul more than once tried to kill. He was hiding, passed on the side of yesterday’s enemies, robbed the peaceful population in other people’s edges to pay MZDU to his Philistines. And then I took cities, united the peoples and kingdoms. In general, a complete set for a large-scale Hollywood drama in historical scenery.

In the game, this is all served very Boyko and in modern. The action switches between different characters and is accompanied by spectacular comics. Here David’s nephews arose sister from the mouth of an angry lion, so we fight with Goliath, but I’m already secretly saving David, storming and defending the city, in the role of fragile girls are secretly shattered by patrols. Or even fiery pigs (more precisely, oil on them) and send this grunting bomb to the enemies … With this, we manage very rarely by David – for example, during the battle with Goliath. Everything else, under our control, as a rule, relatives and followers of the legendary biblical hero – up to five at the same time.

Of course, with rare exceptions for the tasks as a whole primitive: kill some important bump, protect three towers, burn six tents … Side quests are rarely found and as predictable: Find the missing husband, save daughter, find three scrolls. But, first, all this is quite in the tradition of the genre, and the authors, repeat, make a bet on the story itself, and not for individual tasks.Sometimes the game resembles an interactive comic book.
Useful skills

Game mechanics Five: Guardians of David In general, simple and understandable, but, as they say, not without a raisin. We fight, we defeat the big and small “bosses”, spend the experience, select gold and multicolored (ordinary, legendary, rare or epic) equipment, we are looking for hiding chests, wrapped in pinch boxes and barrels, periodically attend merchants and get new levels.

Everything, in general, is familiar – except that there are five characters at once under our control. Each of them has three main characteristics (conventionally speaking, power, dexterity and endurance), as well as the mass of unique abilities – it is around them and the main nerve of the gameplay is spinning. Five heroes are actually five classes: archer, warrior with a sword and shield, a spear, master of possession of two-handed weapons and “magician” (albeit extremely specific).

Accordingly, each has its own set of favorite techniques and ways to bed in the near. The archer can run the avalanche of arrows into enemies;The speaker periodically uses weapons as the pole and cigates opponents behind the back;A mighty warrior with a two-handed sword loves to spin in a bloody whirlwind, bringing everyone around;his colleague stuns or knocks everyone with his legs. And the local analogue of the magician is capable not only to build the wall of the fire, but also to ride opponents, rushing in them with stones and even bee hives.In the later stages, it is possible to return to the locations already passed to perform the same missions and “roll up”.
Mass skills. Four of them are assigned to the “hotkeys”, there is still usual and additional attacks, which, in fact, are equal to the same “pumpable” abilities. You yourself determine the current set of combat receptions and even what the main attack will be, for example, a spear – fast blows or throwing weapons in opponents. New levels allow you to open more powerful skills, and also give points to the development of existing. But the basic characteristics of “pumping out” by an equipper that gives certain bonuses.

Special signs

All this allows you to alternate in one mission different combat styles. Especially since the authors adore the unpleasant surprises. Play, for example, you are all the task archer, thoroughly studying his skills and tactics, and at the end, in a fight one on one with the “boss”, you are forced to perform for the “magician” to which you are completely excited. So “sit down” with one hero will not work – it is often possible to switch between different characters.

Of course, the game is not enough about – “crafting”, alchemy and the depths that distinguishes the series Diablo and its best followers. In addition, the fighters left without supervision are scary stupid (they beat only those whom they see right in front of the nose). And even the active character often too slowly reacts to attempts to make, finally go somewhere and hit some1. But still Kingdom Games It was possible to make an unusual action / RPG with an interesting biblical plot, a couple of fresh ideas, a pleasant picture and excellent sound. So Five: Guardians of David Definitely deserves fans of the genre.
