Traffic Department 2192

Traffic Department 2192 description

Very interesting, unusual, but passed virtually unnoticed, the game is hard to define genre – mix of arcade and RPG.

The action takes place, as the name implies, in the year 2192, and bad enough: the Earth is enslaved by aliens called the Voltures. You play as a girl pilot by the name of Velasquez, Lieutenant of the Transport Department, which is not "transport Department" and the Lord's resistance army, the aliens-the invaders. Once (Land occupied for quite some time) the aliens in front of her killed her father-the officer, who was one of the leaders of the Resistance, therefore, the reasons of personal revenge our heroine enough.

The game has two modes: the study area (of course, with the battles) and extensive NPC dialogue and the development of the storyline. The game has a top, and if you look at it briefly, it seems that before us – one of hundreds of "vertical action'ov". Velasquez on foot never moves – just fly low to the ground on a small boat, and it also fights. It's a big part of the game, which is the most that neither is arcade. But if we land some mysterious buildings and "go" there begins a very extensive (and for "arcade" - and altogether shocking) dialogue, of which we more we can learn about the plot of the game and our goals and objectives. And sometimes even enemies can talk before the fight! Please note: if you do not read what is written in the lines of dialogue, the game will very likely NOT pass!

Schedule, without a doubt, praise is it in native mode is excellent (even adjusted for genre). For example, I liked the portrayal of various structures and streets of empty cities. Not a masterpiece, but atmospheric. Portraits of all the characters (especially the protagonist), shows us in the dialogues or briefings of missions, could be called beautiful.

The verdict in part have already been made above: the game is not something very outstanding, but the obscurity in which she resides, she clearly deserves. In principle, it is rare (if not only) example of an attempt of "reconciliation" fans of games "serious" and "spinal", and although a full-fledged RPG here, of course, very, very far away, and the dialogue is "the luminaries" role-playing games can seem miserable, to play it's worth all the lovers of the not quite trivial forgotten curiosities, the discovery of each of them in our time – a miracle.
