About this game

From old-games.ru:
A beautiful, but, unfortunately, almost unknown action-platformer.

About the plot in this case, unfortunately, nothing can be learned. We play for the strange kind of hero - a long-haired man of a shabby kind, most resembling a stereotypical hunter for monsters. He is armed with a gunshot and quite a futuristic weapon (at the start of the game - a kind of blaster), but the world in which he has to act is not very similar to either futuristic or fantasy: these are some rocks with rare trees and a lot of stairs and protrusions, where the main enemies are giant spiders, flying insects and other such creatures, although from a certain point there will be an unusual kind of wizards.

Perhaps it will be fair to say that this game does not make any revolution in the genre, for everything is standard enough: running and jumping, shooting, eventually we find a much more powerful weapon, we periodically collect bonuses (for example, the bonus in the form of the letter "E" restores a significant the amount of health - the hero himself, fortunately, does not perish at all from a single blow, and there are many other useful things - say, temporary invulnerability). Of the features can be noted only that climb and descend on all sorts of flimsy kind of stairs, we are here not less often than to jump (although there will be enough jumps, including, for example, disappearing platforms). The initial ammunition of the hero, apparently, is endless (but his subsequent kinds are not at all), and he can shoot not only in the sides, but also upwards, and also at that moment,

The main advantage of Impact is, of course, absolutely luxurious drawing graphics - as applied to the backgrounds and their details (although there is little variety, but this is not a drawback), and with reference to the display of the hero and his opponents. The game is very rare, so for most fans of battle platformers will certainly be an excellent and unexpected gift and discovery.
