Escape from Hell description
Very specific "Lite" role-playing game engine to Wasteland.
Title screen. From the intro. Combat with a stench beast. Note that you have Stalin and Genghis Khan in your party.
So Richard problems. His best friend and his girlfriend is missing! And not just in the heavenly office was a mistake with a typo in an important document, so all three of them landed straight in Hell! What's worse, hell, the office, Alan and Alison capitalized as it should - but Richard was still listed among the living, so law enforcement agencies of Hell we will not be happy...
The graphics in the dialog scenes were pretty good.
From the beginning we are given to understand that this is not just another roleplay. In fact, it is more like a quest with RPG elements, rather than a real role playing game - no character generation, with any (!) character can lead a coherent conversation, from the pixel-hunting use a lot more than random fights...
Eliminated all the unnecessary pieces of the engine of Wasteland and Fountain of Dreams, and in their place bolted a new significantly more user-friendly interface to work with inventory and characteristics of heroes, completely eliminated the ability to split a squad and the problem with the tracking of ammunition - all firearms here has infinite charges - but dosepan pile up the ability to look at anything and try to speak with anyone, including trying to beat foes. And Yes, finally there are no books with paragraphs! The entire text of the game it has already laid and flipping manual to catch up with the story, no longer need.
The basic elements, however, the same is a stylish animated avatars interlocutors, a schematic top view, minimal voice acting... funny comments combat engine when someone is dying, insane weapons (let's say... almost the entire Arsenal of Wasteland and Fountain of Dreams, minus the ray gun, is here presented in a tangible shape, but the top has added all sorts of garbage ranging from swords and pans to the real guestimate), the most ridiculous armor (Yes, finally you can use the lid from a garbage can instead of a shield!) and, of course, the blackest of humor is pretty high test.
Summary. Yes, it's not a legend like Wasteland, but not a complete failure, as was Fountain of Dreams. Interesting plot inversion allowed the authors of the game off in full and you will need outstanding knowledge of the English language in order to understand it inside and out. However, fans of easy-going games like the quest from Legend and LucasArts, this game may well be to your taste.
