Russian (Русский)

It’s a pity, but fact – games developed in Russia are a rarity, so this one firstly made me think that it’s not worth buying. And now, when I write these lines I feel something that warms me up from the inside... I think it’s pride.

It all starts with the alien invasion. The world we all know has fallen in just 6 days after the invasion by an alien civilisation, named the Swarm. All known capitals were destroyed and people went underground searching for protection and food and from there were holding out with weak rebellion. The player takes on the role of a common man, not a soldier, not a policeman, just a bystander. But why are they the swarm? Because they use slaved organisms called “infiltrators” to collect every piece of DNA they can find to adapt to any environment they are taking over. Our main character finds himself in a cocoon somewhere underground. Amnesia leaves nothing to remember...

The game combines different genres: the main character can punch small enemies, kick larger ones hit them with handy instruments or weapons, shoot at distant ones with common guns... But it looks so ordinary...  The story shows you that lo and behold our hero is one of those very infiltrators. Firstly he looks like a common human. But later, as you kill your first alien-infiltrator, you get its DNA partly and its ability too... It’s up to you to decide whether it is a curse or a gift. You can use acid-chains as a material to enforce those abilities that were given to you with the DNA of killed aliens. All you need to do is to connect two genes with fitting pieces of chain. I have to admit that it’s a rather interesting task. And as time passes you gain new genes and chain elements... Remember when I said that the main character looks human? All these mutations change its look, so you won’t recognise him as that ugly creature you play with later on. Everything depends on you and your gaming style. It’s possible to reorganise your genes at any time you like, so you can use some tactics with it.
