Should you play it?

In 2013 the Central Europe (Ukraine, Kiev) witnessed a catastrophe. Everybody was mystified by its cause. What happened was beyond our comprehension. Somebody called it the collision of worlds or the stratification of two dimensions.

What works

  • Dynamic and satisfying combat system
  • Excellent soundtrack by newtone

  • Nostalgic appeal and replayability

Things to keep in mind

  • Frequent crashes and bugs reported
  • Clunky platforming sections
  • Somewhat weak and clichéd story

Similarity map

Each dot is a game placed from its motivation profile relative to this page’s game. Direction shows which motivation differs most; distance along that axis shows how large the gap is.

  • Purple star: this page’s game at the centre — everything is relative to it.
  • Direction: each axis is a main motivational difference vs this game (e.g. more / less competitive).
  • Distance on an axis: how large that difference is (ring scales show +/− points).
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot to preview that game in the panel on the right; click to keep that comparison.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom.
