Chorus: Video Game Overview

Good novelties in the genre of space simulators We have not been seen long time. Yes, there were additions to Xs And KS4, But these are supplements, and besides largely curve (especially X4: Cradle of Humanity). There is an Elite Dangerous, though back in 2014, and there is Star Citizen, about which I don’t want to write – you yourself know everything, whether Lochotron, whether to dilute, whether the Lochotron District ..

And with Chorus, all connoisseurs of the genre was finally lucky. This is a completely new game. Yes, not a cosmic simulator in the spirit of the same “elite” (more likely to Freelancer, and then with reservations), there is no such scale and a powerful economy, as in the series FROM. This is more space shooter, but in Chorus There is also a certain freedom in the study of the Galaxy, it is possible to perform many tasks, make decisions and pump your ship. And most importantly, there is Nara – a beautiful girl with large, expressive eyes, the same expressive black make-up, which only emphasizes her beauty, pain and vanity – Nara recently destroyed a whole planet, working on a dark cult, and now he wants to revenge.

Here is a break for sins of my grave ..

Yes, Chorus – First of all, the story game, and the story and the image of the main character here are worked very well. It almost doesn’t matter than she clings. I truth, and I do not remember when there would be such a level of staging in the game. Chains first-all the image of Nara. At first, all these of her suffering about the destroyed planet seem like crocodile tears.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Sins for her a lot.

But gradually the girl you start to believe and empathize – constant monologues and dialogues, performed pain, expressive acting game, powerful cat scenes, where she, for example, speaks the same with himself and tries to overcome this past, do not die, again passing through one ofRituals of Cult.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

With such an expression, it spends almost the whole game, but this is explained by the plot.

Especially interesting everything becomes after Nara unites with the forceikeken – this is a reasonable ship, which also has his own accounts with the cultivists and which our heroine once betrayed, leaving in sleep mode in some cave on an asteroid. Force at first does not trust Nara, although there is actually a spiritual connection between it and the pilot, they turn into a single whole. Therefore, communication between them, also in many ways painful, works fine on the overall gloomy and, I would say, a sad atmosphere.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Yes, this pilot talks to her ship.

Well, in general, for the plot it is interesting to follow. It is clear that the tasks for such games are classic – fly to the point, enter into battle, we study, we collect, accompany and protect other ships, we ensure the waste, or we own the legs, until you have finished off a much stronger enemy at the moment. But the tempo, excellent director, is competently settled, the correct degree of voltage is maintained, when, for example, we need to have time to repel several enemy waves, until they finished off the transport of refugees. And there are situations of choice – take on board to the same Pirates refugees so that they will help put energy, or it is better not to risk? And at the same time, with all this, Nara in his memoirs sees some faults and strange creatures from the abyss, the present-way that we will soon come together – it intrigues, and scares ..

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Many situations in the game are built on the memories of the heroine.

As a result, there will be faults, and monsters from the abyss as the incarnation of sins and feelings, and the characters with the most darkened consciousness, on which the cultists were affected, and battles with huge dreadnights. And at the same time for 10+ hours, all this gloomy story does not cause feelings of suggestion and does not bother.

Chorus – very beautiful game.

Nara will help everyone

INChorus A semi-open world has been implemented, there is a map with different systems, but since this thing is primarily the story, we do not always allow you to move freely between them. But within a specific sector, we are free to distract from plot missions and just fly, scan everything around, select loans and look for side quests. The latter are generated when we, for example, you need to help a civilian ship calibrate and restart their systems.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

We constantly get disaster signals.

And there are more interesting, manual dressing of the task – we are looking for thieves who have stolen nuclear fuel, we help the drones to restart the processing plant, then in the face of the face we protect the station, withstanding not three, and the four waves of the attackers, we are negotiating with pirates and help them choose a newleader to confront the cult together.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Sometimes give control and other ships.

Yes, the map is not the most convenient: sometimes scripts will be flooded, and the game simply refuses to put marks on a side quest – I have to search for the right place. Yes, and the ability of Nara to use their feelings to scan the area and find traces, it happens, it works incorrectly – it finds something only since the fifth. But despite this, I still want to seek and perform quests, scan and select containers with equipment. And on an abnormal zone, where the lightning is raging and where the forceiken refuses to fly until time to fly without due protection, you look with interest: and what a signal goes from there?

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Stations are huge here.

Ritual battles

And I want to do all this because the fulfillment of quests gives funds for pumping our reasonable ship – or immediately new weapons and other systems that can immediately be installed on forceiken. Thus, we increase damage from guns, laser or rocket plants, increase the speed of movement, body capacity or energy shield, and so on.

There are a lot of equipment options, and the number of cells under them is limited, as well as the volume of loans: in the hangar at the stations it is necessary to think about what to buy and what you are more important – to strengthen, for example, damage by body, armor or enemy shields, buy a module that reduces “Rollback »Action of repair drones, or to invest in a coolest rocket installation.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Everything is conveniently implemented, on one screen.

The skill system also applies – as the various conditions are fulfilled (kill 50 enemies, pick 30 containers) automatically pump out the characteristics of the ship, the same damage increases, the number of awards and trophies increases and so on. Finally, gradually, Nara and Force remember the dark rituals of the cult, which give various abilities – for example, the ability to overcome protective barriers, teleport to the enemy to sit down on the tail, or include drift, which allows you to turn more smoothly and shoot on the course in different waystargets. Then other mental skills are opening, like Telekinosis.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Winches easily just at first.

With such rituals battle becomes more interesting. Well, in general, battles in Chorus, Unlike many similar games, leave an exceptionally pleasant impression. The ship is comfortable to control, and the fights themselves are well balanced – moderately complex and tense, forcing constantly maneuvering, follow the shields, change the type of weapons (the lasers are better removing the shields, rockets rut in the shreds housing) and include special skills. Plus, the enemies come across with their own characteristics – so, some fronts are covered with shields and are actively thrown into us by mines, so you have to get ready to go to the rear.

Chorus: Video Game Overview

Maneuvering among the wreckage and asteroids is sometimes difficult, and here teleport is very helpful.

Chorus is really unexpected and therefore an even more pleasant gift for the new year for all cosmic romantics. Here and behind the story follow interesting, and it is pleasant to fight, and explore the world / fulfill quests. And the game is very beautiful – with excellent optimization. In general, if in the soul of the main character is going on, the hell is happening, then for us it is almost space paradise.

Pros: fascinating plot;charismatic heroine;tightening gameplay, where there was a place for the study, and for tense battles, and for pumping;Many quests;chic visual row;atmospheric music;Expressive voice acting.

Minuses: uncomfortable card;Technical flaws in the implementation of side quests and skills.
