Left Alive Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Left Alive tries to be so, so many things: a stealth game, a military thriller, a third-person shooter, and an urban survival adventure. And yet it fails on every level, including at performing acceptably on a PC above the recommended specs. When the Metal Gear pastiche falls apart, what’s left is technical shortcomings, wonky controls, poor balance, and so much frustration it wasn’t worth suffering all the way to the end after I’d already wasted dozens of hours on it. The military story is the only part of Left Alive I found remotely decent, thanks to a couple of surprising techno-thriller twists, but even that is mediocre when compared to Metal Gear Solid or prior games in the Front Mission world. After the nation of Garmonia invades the neighboring Ruthenian border city of Novo Slava in what should have been the least-surprising surprise attack ever, you’re dropped into the combat boots of three different people over the course of its broken, slow adventure, all of whom would be easy to empathize with were they not so poorly written and voice-acted: A whiny Wanzer (mech) pilot with a stunning lack of common sense, a competent cop with not even an ounce of luck, and a gruff revolutionary with lots of scars both physical and mental. Our three heroes must go full 1984 Red Dawn to save civilians, thwart the bad guy, and maybe make it out in one piece.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

The main quest mostly consists of wading through an absolute sea of hostile forces to reach an area where they’ll inexplicably stop attacking you. The side missions are more interestingly written, highlighting the heartstring-tugging plight of civilians in a war-torn city, but I didn’t get a chance to complete many of them, unfortunately – I only had so many materials with which to craft exploding cans and so many bullets. Resources, particularly ammunition, are scarce enough that going off the beaten path to do side content can leave your bag of tricks completely empty when the rubber meets the road with the main story. I had to restart the second chapter because, after inefficiently completing all of the side missions and taking my time to explore, I was punished for my curiosity because the rewards for the side missions were less than what it took to complete them and I couldn’t win a shootout at the end. If your methods for proceeding through this mediocrity were even remotely enjoyable, Left Alive would at least be marginally more fun than its broken and clumsy attempt at being a Metal Gear Solid-type urban warfare thriller. The stealth component is the central idea here, and that makes sense: when one is a single rebel against an army, skulking about with your head down is probably a good idea. Actually being stealthy in Left Alive is a mess, though. It consists mostly of crouching, ducking behind cover that only seldom provides any actual protection, and hiding in dumpsters after sprinting and dive-rolling your way away from a seething mass of bad guys filling the air with hot death.

LEFT ALIVE – Half-Life.

In a sense, that’s true of most stealth games, but great ones, like Metal Gear Solid 4 or Hitman, work with similar trappings because they make you feel in control – you’re the predator and the enemy soldiers are the prey. You’re slow, but not painfully so. There are dimensions to the levels that allow you to move around, take up new positions, and approach a scenario from different angles. There’s a tremendous variety of ways to camouflage yourself and to distract the bad guys. By stark contrast, in Left Alive I felt like prey. Enemy sight range is inconsistent, so I never knew whether I was far enough away to avoid being spotted. Their perceptive abilities range from eagle-eyed and sharp as a tack to blind, deaf, and dumb. It feels ridiculous to go unnoticed as you crouch-walk across a wide-open space in full view of an enemy. On paper, Left Alive sounds like a fantastic video game. With beautiful key art from Yoji Shinkawa on display, as well as a director who helped produce the Armored Core series at the helm, all while being a stealth-action game set within the Front Mission universe. Stealth! Wanzers! Great art direction! How can you mess that up!? Well, as it turns out, Left Alive is just another example that things can still go terribly wrong regardless of how many cool concepts or people you have working on them. Left Alive starts out promising. As mentioned, the story is set within the Front Mission universe in a conflict between two fictional countries (Ruthenia and Garmonia), that are broken up between three different characters and perspectives across 14 chapters.A Winding Path Switch NSP

The story in Left Alive is a tale of attempting to escape a war-torn city, government conspiracies, and revenge. You’re first introduced to Mikhail, a wanzer pilot who’s left to fend for himself after his wanzer and friends are put out of commission. Following that, you’re introduced to Olga, a police captain in the Nova Slava City Police, who was formally a Garmonian soldier (the bad dudes of this universe) before the city of Nova Slava became part of Ruthenia. Then you have Leonid, which to sum up without major spoilers is a former rebel leader who’s been framed for murder. Voice acting ranges from decent to sounding like they gave up after a single take and just rolled with it. The art direction is on point, which isn’t surprising given Yoji Shinkawa’s involvement. Hell, they made sure to even include “KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS” right next to his name at the bottom of the main menu. From some slick UI and menus, character designs, and the wanzers themselves — Left Alive does have some decent art direction going for it, with a properly tense and solid soundtrack as well. Overall, though, it’s far from being a good looking game. At times, Left Alive genuinely looked like a game you’d see on the PlayStation 3. The textures across the board are downright terrible, environments (although open-ended and large), are drab and with nothing of too much interest to see, with anti-aliasing nowhere to be found. It wouldn’t surprise me if this game began development as a Vita title.

Stealth is bad, but the action is worse.

Character animations are also laughably bad. As an example: each and every time you kill a guard, their bodies immediately rag doll while their weapons just go straight up into the air. It’s unironically maybe my favorite thing about Left Alive. The presentation all around is just terrible, to go along with the previously mentioned bad voice acting, character interactions sometimes include dialogue prompts you can choose — yet your character doesn’t say squat once you’ve selected one. You awaken in a city under enemy occupation after neighbouring forces swept in and brutally laid waste to soldiers and civilians alike. You’re separated from your squad, your Wanzer mech heavily damaged and unable to operate, with nothing but the local army’s omnipotent AI, Koshka, to help guide you to safety. Left Alive’s opening salvo shows its certain potential, but while the premise pulls you in, the take away once it’s all over is one of resounding disappointment. Left Alive is an astoundingly infuriating grind that lacks in almost every area, making a wholly unrewarding experience. Set in the same universe as the long-neglected Front Mission series, you alternate between three main characters–a rookie Wanzer pilot, a former military veteran turned beat cop, and a ghosted merc who’s been presumed dead for two years. Each character is on a different path to try and escape the city that’s overrun with enemy mechs and soldiers. Their paths will intertwine over the course of the game’s 14 missions allowing for some occasionally fun interplay between the protagonists.Brewmaster Beer Brewing Simulator Switch NSP

But that’s about as interesting as their story gets. Moments of both political and personal intrigue go for knockout blows with almost no set up, leaving them feeling flat and impactless, and the story never really gets back on its feet. Surviving the numerous open-world sections of the city is the main point of Left Alive, avoiding combat where possible and traversing slowly and silently through the torn up streets littered with abandoned cars and flaming piles of rubbish. As you move from point to point, you’ll scavenge items and components–from empty cans and bottles to stripping parts from destroyed drones–in order to craft traps and projectiles. But even with these tools, progress comes slowly, and arduously, for a variety of different reasons, the chief of which is the game’s stunningly poor combat. LEFT ALIVE tells a human story of survival from the perspective of three different protagonists during the devastating invasion set in war-torn Novo Slava in 2127. Experience the massive power gap between man and machine in pulse-pounding encounters: face off against powerfully armed troops, armored vehicles and towering mechs. Choose your playing style: engage in frenetic gun battles or dispatch your enemies with stealth and wit. Set traps, collect and craft consumables to survive while exploring a devastated city ravaged by the atrocities of war. Uncover the full story behind the war through the eyes of three different characters: as you progress through the game, experience multiple story paths each requiring bold decisions with desperate consequences.

Dynamic Combat.

Weapons in general feel woefully inadequate and underpowered. Guns are weak and make a lot of noise (inviting any enemy within a block to bear fire down upon your position) and headshots don’t ever result in a one hit kill. Bullet impacts feel scattered and inconsistent, with perfect reticle aim not ensuring a hit–even on the first shot. Melee weapons aren’t much better, you’re more likely to get knocked down yourself before you can them so it’s always a high risk move, and there’s no stealth bonus for sneaky attacks. Projectile weapons are more stealth-oriented as the AI aren’t able to track where a thrown item came from, but they are equally as ineffective at putting the enemy down for good.The stilted and jittery combat sucks the air out of every enemy engagement, but you’re consistently forced into it. Koshka’s incessant reminder of “Caution, the enemy is approaching” on a loop when in close proximity to a guard just adds to the annoyance. Checkpoints and save points are scarce, and more often than not the direct route to each is blocked by a number of patrolling guards or worse, a comparably overpowered Wanzer, meaning a lot of backtracking to save points in safer zones in order to avoid replaying tedious sections. Although the game’s map tries to usefully point out high alert zones, it doesn’t feel like there’s any tangible difference between the two; safe zones are just as likely to be teeming with patrolling guards as alert zones are.

Side missions come in the form of other survivors, many of whom only need to be accompanied to the nearest shelter, of which there are a handful strewn about each map. Some will go easily, while others are in distress and need convincing to move via a handful of dialogue choices, though these feel trite–it never felt like it mattered if they were rescued or not. They’re helpless and will quickly go down if fired at, unless you clear their path beforehand they have frustratingly little chance of making it to the shelter safely. But the risk of taking more guards head on just to get survivors out quickly turns into a tiring and unfulfilling routine. Wanzers are the only part of Left Alive that bucks its mediocrity. When moving through the city, these imposing behemoths will patrol along the wider open sections of the map, sweeping the area from on high. Most of the time they can be avoided by finding a clearer route, but sometimes you’ll need to get unnervingly close, creating a palpable sense of fear as you try to sneak by them undetected. Getting noticed by a Wanzer spells almost certain death, unless you can get your hands on a rocket launcher and a good sniping spot, which will take them down with a few well placed shots to the torso.Even better is when you get behind the controls of a Wanzer and give the enemy a healthy dose of their own medicine. Weapons, from rocket launchers and huge assault rifles to shoulder mounted railguns, each has a distinct feel to them. For example, the railgun requires your mech to kneel to make a more stable platform and then a second to warm up before firing, but will cause tremendous damage with a direct hit.

All weapons overheat at different times if not allowed to breathe out in between shots, but if you time it right you can easily alternate between your main four to unload continuous fire. Save for Wanzer-related activities, almost no part of Left Alive feels good to play; it’s painfully slow, inconsistent, and looks incredibly dated. Environment textures are muddied and lack detail, animations don’t blend together that well which gives everything a slightly jolting look. Blowing up an enemy vehicle sees it simply disappear into thin air behind a flat, low-res fire texture. When you mix moments like that with the already tiring combat, which is compounded further during some utterly infuriating late-game boss fights, it really hits home how far wide of the mark Left Alive is. Perhaps the worst part is that you can see there’s something here, ideas that have some real potential but never even come close to being realised. The Wanzer combat is genuinely rad, but that’s it. Everything else comes with a heavy caveat; be it how underpowered you feel, the awkward movement, the inconsistent bullet impacts, the ugly environments… the list goes on. There’s almost no joy to be found in playing Left Alive, only bitter disappointment. What’s disappointing is that Left Alive could have become a great game. Amazing soundtrack written by Hidenori Iwasaki (composer of Front Mission 4 and 5), characters designed by Yoji Shinkawa, good story and cool mechs (wanzers). But all this doesn’t matter, because Left Alive has maddeningly bad gameplay. It’s a stealth-action game with terrible stealth mechanics, boring combat system and stupid AI (worst part is saving survivors). On top of that Left Alive is so difficult that it’s only frustrating and annoying.Space Blaze Switch NSP
