La Croix Pan

Post by Pater Alf »

I´m not sure if I really like this game, but I will present it anyway...

You play the role of an american sniper during world war II and have to defeat a small french village against the german troops.

The game is very short (and the puzzles are easy) and most gamers will solve it within 30 minutes. Technically everything is fine, there are well made graphics and sounds and a nice atmosphere.

The reason why I´m not sure about this game is the story. I think when you settle an adventure game during world war II you should have something to tell about this time or about war at all. In this game I can´t find any message except that it´s heroic to kill enemies during war. It might sound silly, but I´m missing kind of a moral...

Thsi game is excellent. So excellent in fact that I decided to write my very first walkthrough for a game. Well this one would be a good place to start, being only 5 minutes long.
I think there was a glimpse of sadness to the last scene, as I read the situation as if the main character was looking at the bodies in the street and asking "are we just gonna leave the city like this"? I read that as a "Then why did I kill all these soldiers?".

I think this game could be made into a great crossgenre game with more gameplay and longer too.
