Good game overall but i wished we can still visit the other areas after completing the game to unlock the missing secret areas
Reviews for "Earth Taken 3"
SeethingSwarm responds:
Yeah I did it a bit better in the previous 2 games where you can load chapters. It was problematic to do that in ET3, because this game is more of an open world where you can roam freely between levels, except for the last two ending levels. I'm glad you still like the game and thanks for the 5 stars!
liked the before even playing :D
SeethingSwarm responds:
Well thanks for the 5 stars! :D
I hope you like the game after playing it!
Heeellooo, Seething Swarm! I've missed you!
I love the Earth Taken franchise, played the first two entries a couple of times and, frankly, almost lost hope to ever see the 3rd one. Now that it actually EXISTS(!) I won't even pretend I can be objective - I love everything about your games.
Highlights:
Plot - simplified, sure, but as good as any sci-fi/dystopian fiction, only rearranged to fit flash game format
Music - ambient, ambient ambient!!! Feels like listening to map music from first two Fallout games
I would love to see a spinoff game where you play it from a government perspective.
Thanks for an awesome game, Seething Swarm!
SeethingSwarm responds:
Ah thanks for the kind words. I'm so glad you like my games :)
I've been around, just very busy working on Enter The Flesh Again. I wasn't really planning on making Earth Taken 3, but so many people were asking for it and then 5 months ago I got very inspired again to continue this post-apocalyptic story. I'm really glad I did it. It was hard, but fun to work on this series once again. Now I'm very far behind schedule with Enter The Flesh Again, but it's okay. I think it was worth it. Thanks for the great review and the 5 stars!
Pros:
- Gameplay is smooth
- Good atmosphere
- Addition of moving background
- NPC text popups add immerion
- Character customization
- Multiple paths to objectives( Mini-free roam)
- Mech suits
- Arcade mini game
Cons:
- Story is mostly delivering things from place A to B (and again)
- Final mission is more like a combination of ET1 and 2, could be refreshing a bit but fits pretty well
- No new weapons aside from the charger pistol
- One soundtrack lowers the immerion (I played some tracks from metro 2033 and it fell more appealing to myself, personally)
- Starting with the shotgun makes it pretty easy as all you need is to save some rations and you got a 1 hit-kill weapon right at the start
- Guitar tracks are not very interesting
- Not a lot of radiation enviroments lowers the need in rad meds
- Can complete the game using knife only
Verdict: 4.5
Although there are cons to the game the pros are far more noticable (and i noticed the cons only after multiple playthroughs) . The game gives a great immersion and atmosphere that you barley notice any downsides to it. Although after you upgrade your arsenal and/or master the mechanics you are unbeatable and no longer feel any vulnerability from your foes. Game really deserves a high score for all its implying.
10/10 Would knife an alien in a mech suit again.
SeethingSwarm responds:
Wow, awesome review! I agree that there weren't enough areas where you had to deal with radiation. Rad meds kinda pile up in this game. I wish I could have added more weapons, but the way the game is set up makes it very difficult. It's a bit tricky and technical to explain why. Anyway, I'm really glad you like the game and thanks for the great review, feedback and the nice score :)
So far this seems to be better than the first 2 games. I was glad to see that I was able have the character customization.
SeethingSwarm responds:
Cool! Glad you like the game so far and the ability to choose your character's appearance :) Thanks for the 5 stars!
