The Killing Cloud description

Another varanava and quite difficult game tells the story of a dystopian future.

This time the trouble came not in the long-suffering new York and San Francisco, have which for some strange reason hangs a layer of orange smog, known as the death Cloud.

In this world everything has long been very bad, the city is terrorized by a gang of Black Angels, you play as one of the officers, and for many missions (with a developing dramatic story, it should be noted!) will deal with them.

The game is for the most part is a series of first-person, where you have to fly through the city and fighting the bandits, not forgetting that you can climb too high and get into the smog (I don't see anything – the screen just turns a dark orange color, and can survive for only a few minutes), but there are less trivial mission (even with strategic elements).

Another interesting point – the very concept of plot development: as a rule, we need to capture (to capture!) some of the main villain (the local level), then deliver him to the police station and ask: what the data received during interrogation, and are often the main job for the next mission.

This approach is certainly original, and it pleases, as pleases and is quite bright and beautiful for the time of release the graphics, but still the game leaves a feeling of vagueness: many moments (especially in the story) for me personally and remained unclear. But fans of cyberpunk should be like.
