It seems that Russian law enforcement agencies are beginning to adopt the American experience and order propaganda games like America's Army url. The quality of these products, unfortunately, casts doubt on the expediency of spending on the development of budget funds. Instead of channeling the money to improve the lives of its employees, the Federal Drug Control Service of the Russian Federation hired a company that produces educational software and instructed it to concoct a patriotic shooter "about the fight against the drug mafia." We wanted the best, but it turned out that " Instinct " and " Paragraph 78 " were deeply knocked out.

Children, drugs are bad, okay? (c)

The engine of this miracle of propaganda thought painfully resembles the same “ Paragraph 78", But much more buggy. In fact, in " Fighter " it is simply impossible to play normally, since the insane brakes completely poison the entire gameplay. Even disabling all graphic options in the menu settings does not help. It is better to immediately come to terms with the idea that you will basically have to fight not with enemies, but with a clumsy piece of program code. I am glad at least that it does not throw it into the system before each level, as it was in the “masterpiece” from Gaijin Entertainment.

Already from the first level, analogies with one more propaganda of the last weeks - “ SOBR soldier". You still have to shoot evil guys on some kind of cargo ship, the only difference is in a more decent picture. One gets the impression that most modern domestic shooters are assembled in the same workshop from identical parts of the constructor, only in different combinations. Well, at least this time they don't demand money - download, good people, for nothing, just do not indulge in dope grass.

“An interesting and relevant story” (and now, kids, my aunt will tell you an instructive tale) tells about a simple Russian guy named Pasha, who immensely loves the Motherland and hates drugs. Fate threw him onto a ship carrying a cargo of an unprecedented potion to the shores of the Far East, from where the poison was supposed to spread throughout the country. Deciding not to give in to the overseas Rambo, Pavlik went to the Colombian drug lords on their island to explain in detail what is good and what is bad.

In the load, the authorities gave out a frail man and a girl, who will be the subject of constant headaches for the whole level - well, they cannot stand to die the death of the brave under a hail of bullets. And then, in splendid isolation, you will have to wander among the same palm trees, some sheds of three boards and observation towers. There was not enough time for other sights, or the budget allocated by the Federal Drug Control Service. A wonderful tropical landscape is brightened up by mercenaries not burdened with the seal of intelligence. These muscular bodies stubbornly do not notice the player even from five meters, and if eye contact still took place, they scribble in hysterics from the belly to the first bullet in the forehead. However, a special admiration in the local menagerie was caused by trained shepherd dogs, which, apparently, were so fiercely pumped with stimulants,

In contrast to serene walks on the surface, chilling brutality unfolds in the premises. Without any logic, now from behind, now from the side, now right in front of the nose, enemies materialize out of the air, after which the smooth picture is replaced by separate frames - a kind of slo-mo in the Russian manner. Fortunately, bullets are in bulk, so random firing at the pressing reptiles helps. You can throw a "lemon" in the midst of the crowd - AI will definitely demonstrate all its power and will tumble right on the grenade on purpose.

The set of weapons outright copies " Paragraph 78": AK-47, M4A1, G36, Vintorez. The interface from the same place, character animation, special effects ... It's not even a clone, but a cynical “copy + paste”. However, for a free agitational "shooter" and this may work. The only question is, will such advertising benefit the customer?

Final comments

A clumsy action game, "steepless" funded by the Federal Drug Control Service of the Russian Federation. Instead of enjoying the heroic everyday life of fighters against drugs, you have to wade through wild brakes, stupid enemies and monotonous levels. What's next - “OMON Fighter”, “Special Forces: Tax Police”, “Traffic police inspector on guard of the law”? The people yearn to see their favorites.

Gameplay: shooter category "G". Confidently bypasses in the degree of trashness and "Instinct" and "Paragraph 78".
Graphics: monotonous textures and character models, wheelchair animation, and most importantly, endless brakes.
Sound: terrible to extraneous gurgling in the speakers. It's strange that this craft is somehow voiced.
For how long?: children, propaganda is bad, okay?
