Survive The Blackout: Video Game Overview

Usually, nuclear explosions, zombie invasion or some more rubbish, natural disasters caused by something infernal, such as collisions caused by something infernal, such as collisions of the planets or an innocent visit to the planets, become the cause of a global catastrophe and subsequent postpox. But B Survive The Blackout Everything is more prosaic – in the plot three months ago, almost all over the planet there was a total “blackout”, turning off the electricity, because of what technological disasters, interruptions and the world were immediately burned in darkness and chaos.

A light in the end of a tunnel

However, soon, of course, mystic appeared – people began to see somewhere on the horizon the mysterious light of unknown origin and thought that it was in him salvation. Naturally, the prophet was found – the doctor who said that he knows the way to light. The doctor himself in it, apparently, was not very sure, because one day she committed suicide, having fun on the roadside post. However, his supporters decided to bring the case of the Eskulap to the end and went to look for light.

Before each occasion (and, how you guess, there will be a lot) we choose the leader of the squad, and the game itself is already accidentally determined by two more partners. Choice of poor – total is available six people, and the girl Anya leader can not be by definition. So every time you will perform approximately the same detachment.

But each of this six is really well worked – everyone has biography, character and unique skills that will be useful during the campaign. So, acute in Sarah’s tongue, dressed in a motorcycle jacket, – Excellent scout, which refers to the class “survival”. In search of a better life from Ukraine to America (and the action unfolds in the States) Boris is the strongest – it does not prevent him from remaining “idealist”, even despite the loss of the family during the “Blackau”. “Single” Jack, a former fashionable, and then a military photographer, perfectly disassembled in people. And the same as Sarah, the “survival” Alex – in the machines and in general technique.

Who does not work shall not eat. Who works – too

During random events from which the whole Survive The Blackout, constantly arise replicas and capabilities provided for a specific character or class. At the same time, within the framework of the same class, each character has another individual character traits – for example, Boris is “dad-bear”, which gives him an incredible force. As you pass and successfully implement certain actions, your wards will open new features like health regeneration.See this will have often.
In addition to the vitality among the main characteristics, everyone has a satiety, martial spirit and fatigue. Gradually, their level, it is clear, changes to the worst, so our task is to find resources and distribute them during a stop for overnight in the camp that we are liberated to break at any time.

However, the phrase “resource management” from the official description Survive The Blackout It sounds too loud – as a rule, we have with a grief in half a folded pair of food packs, aidhechkops, energy, which we just give those who breathe in incense. Largely lucky if you find a jacket, a knife, blanket or other useful items that can be equipped with a character to receive permanent bonuses.

Martial Spirit is the only parameter to which we affect not only the use of something (most often – soda), but also by their actions and words. Helped grandmother and all mood has improved. They robbed a lonely old man who walked with a wand on the road, or grabbed two teenagers who were hiding from you – and everyone in the soul cat scrape.

Simple stories and difficult selection

It is similar human stories and situations that are the best thing in Survive The Blackout. The above cases are the simplest. You can also meet crying around the house of the child, which complains that the dad devoured the last portion of food in the house. Decide for yourself – pass by or try to enjoy the father of the family, going to the house where his tired, buttered wife and another child are also located. But even if they pass by, in this house there will be a bloody family tragedy – to prevent it personally, I did not work.Dogs in an idea can be distracted by food, but after all, it yourself gets hunting.
Or you will find a lonely granny dwelling. You can try to rob it or, on the contrary, to offer assistance, for which the old woman is working with all delicious tea (and this will be extremely favorable on the detachment). Once I met a sad dog, who clearly called. You can make friends with him, stroke, he joyfully hesitates the tail and leads us to his wounded owner. And then there was a dilemma – to tear off my last first aid kit, throw a dying or searching for his fabrics. I decided to search, spent time, a man died, and the dog was offended and refused to go with us, staying on the moon at the body of the owner ..

Especially all this is interesting when Anya is in the detachment: you have to decide what is more useful – to speak the child that everything will be fine, or not to lie;rob to her in front of other children or not so on. Serious moral load!

Alnya remained

The trouble is that these and other situations are constantly repeated – soon you will know them by heart. The random, of course, is present, but more manifests (and disappointing) during the search of houses, shops and buildings – is very lucky, if you accidentally find something. During one right, it can get out that you constantly fall out food and first aid kits, but most often it is not. Meanwhile, with everybed table and an open door, the level of danger increases. And there is a risk to run into some1.Conversations during the stop are implemented for a tick – they are completely uninteresting.
Yes, without this, various bandits are constantly attacking the group, hungry dogs or unexpectedly pop-up owners like empty houses that we search. During such clashes, the timer turns on: you need to quickly decide what to do – try to resist, attack yourself, to go on an oily or hide. In some situations, when, for example, we are pursued by wolves, it is necessary to even decide who will sacrifice themselves, distracting hungry animals on themselves. The timer is allowed and disabled, but it is especially easier from this not becoming – the detachment rather quickly turns into a group of bleeding, tired, hungry and sad people.

We are Honor one, the other, then there is one Anya, Sarah, Jack and so on – it is not surprising that some of them can eventually end up. Therefore, go all the way on key plot points when we find camps, open up new locations (you need to choose where to go) and moving on, it turns out from the first time.

Considering that the range of heroes, random events and our opportunities to influence the survival of the group is very limited, resources almost always have little and have to rely on the ruthless rand, and not at some interesting mechanics, – all this quickly bored.

The more we sleep, the hungry becomes.
