Xargon description

Ordinary going on a research expedition to the recently discovered ruins of an unknown people, the humble archaeologist Malvinas will Haversham had no idea that his life is about to take a sharp turn. Really, what danger could lurk in the cultural heritage of the so-called "blue builders" (free translation blue builders) from other long-lost civilizations except the things that they used to build some of their buildings out of the blue? Deep in the ruins of Malvinas began to study preserved on the walls of the writing and got really into it and didn't notice how accidentally touched one of inconspicuous stones, and he moved deeper into activating the old mechanism. Soon, the archaeologist was enveloped in a barely visible cloud of gas, weakening his concentration and catching up on sleepy. The last thing I saw will Haversham before you fall into oblivion – a huge eagle, flying straight to him from the depths of the void...

Such is the complication of an unusual arcade Xargon, taking us along with Malvinas in unprecedented dal is impossible in the world where before no foot of man. You are encouraged to understand how an ordinary archaeologist could move in absolutely a fantastic place having lost all communication with Earth, and, most importantly, how to get out of there now. All the secrets of the plot reveal does not make sense, because Xargon plays far not last place, and thoughts and observations Haversine in the course of the narrative help to dive deeper in the atmosphere. But on the gameplay is to dwell.

Xargon the world is cruel and wild, untrained person there is nothing to do. To explore it You will have two modes – on the General map, where it's relatively safe and where you can save, and the map of certain places, such as caves or clearings. These places are located in a certain order, and to miss it is impossible, even if desirable, in almost every stores the specific subject required for final passage. In addition, each such place filled up with a variety of very aggressive creatures, the appearance of which in most cases would be to describe only very approximately. Fortunately, Malvinas – person action, clever and quick and easy to give up, he is not going. In order to fight the advancing hostile environment was easier, the developers have given the brave hero and some weapons. So, we now have a laser gun that is able to slightly adjust the direction of flight of the charge depending on the desire of the player, boulders, which is very convenient to throw tajectory, and even balls of fire, the number of which, though very limited, but it is more than kompensiruet impressive stopping power. Stones and laser can be improved by increasing their rate of fire. You can do this either by finding special rewards in the form of additional lasers and stones either by buying them at store (call in any place of location) was found for several crystals. There you can buy health and purchase a couple of useful bonuses. Here, however, there is a serious limitation on the output maps of Malvinas loses all received improvements. However, to find them not too difficult to regret it.

In every special place you can find a huge number of secrets that make the game even more interesting. Numerous branches corridors often optional to go through, but will allow most patient players to find the treasure and score more points. And occasionally gets in the way of shiny sneakers brand "xibc" will give You the opportunity to make much higher jumps and reach the most secret places. Interestingly, two pairs of running shoes doing jumping even higher...

Places where You have to go, really don't like each other. Then the edge of the forest, and the gloomy cave and the underwater cave, and even a plant for the production of robots, the purpose and origin of which remains to be seen. Fortunately, the number of attempts to overcome obstacles indefinitely, so that the success depends only on Your persistence. Sometimes in a hostile environment and have to take a different form – so, You will have the opportunity to visit a large body of wasps that will let you fly to the desired height and pick up is not available to this key. Under water, of course, Malvinas also uses special vehicle – special device, fast moving in any direction, and is provided with a pair of laser cannons.

The result is a very interesting arcade game with a focus on plot that requires the player to first care and patience. With swoop really to do it will not work, but You always have the time to look around, to put a couple of test stones in an unknown direction, buy the equipment in the "store"... the Game is not too heavy and suitable as an avid hardcore players, and just fans of the genre.
