You know, sometimes it happens that nostalgia overwhelms you, and you think: "Oh, how nice it would be if someone took and republished a good old 2D toy, yes, in a three-dimensional form, with new graphics, but with the same exciting atmosphere." Of course, every year we follow attempts to recreate the classics in one or another version, but, hand on heart, most often such attempts are not even remembered, they are so disappointing with inconsistencies and shortcomings.
But then the Vanquish game appeared. No, this is not the revival of some specific 2D action, but, as it were, the embodiment of a youthful dream about how a good old Contra game should look like many years later. This is the brainchild of Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil, and Platinum Games, and I must say that the idea was a success. They managed to recreate the atmosphere of old action games, which, despite the ancient graphics, draws in like a whirlpool, but in a modern way, without losing a drop of passion, from the first steps to the final battle.
Here's a little introduction: in the future, the Russians and the Americans have again engaged in a bloody confrontation. The Russians used a microwave generator on the Providence orbital colony to wipe San Francisco off the face of the earth. Well, the President of the United States, on whose side you will play, undertakes a full-scale attack on the enemy base to finish off the enemy, but, as it turns out later, you have to fight not even with fearless Russian soldiers, but with completely cold-blooded robots.
Vanquish cannot be called a deep game. Remember: this is refined action, in the most literal sense of the word. If you are looking for quests, riddles and deep subtexts, this is clearly not the case. The most "mental" moment of the game is when you have to calculate the vulnerabilities of huge robo–bosses, which (a small hint) are highlighted in red. Well, if you want drive and adrenaline, you won't be disappointed.
Your main character will fight monsters in mega-armor, which will allow him to resist the power of huge monsters, and withstand the speed of battle, which will be set, as you know, not by you, but by your opponents. You will have at your disposal an unthinkable transforming weapon that can be improved and strengthened. It shoots cartridges, lasers, carbon disks and other wonderful gizmos, all of which cannot be enumerated.
By the way, no one will let you slow down the speed of the game. And this is one of the charms of the idea: since, hero, you got involved in the battle, so feel all the joys of a real war. Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention one small detail: our super hero, whom you will play, absolutely cannot live without cigarettes.
You will fight with all the means at hand, from ordinary cartridges to a wide variety of grenades and cannons, and worlds will explode and collapse around you. And, believe me, you will have a very hard time. Get ready to use all your action skills to pass this really difficult game, and after this test, all your opponents from previous games will seem like slow bugs to you. But in consolation, I will say that Vanquish is not only a complex, but a very beautiful game with really high–quality graphics. The very case when the realism of the graphics is not exaggerated to the opposite effect, but tightens up to the ears.
From the very moment your hero Sam lands on the Providence, until the very last seconds, enemy bullets will not stop whistling over your head. So forget about non-dynamic "action games", where you are given a whole series of minutes to rest, and get ready for a real marathon. You will be met by giant robots, huge flying ships and many, many enemies that will not let you get bored. There are so many events, details and pure adrenaline in the game that it is not surprising that there is even a special button to give Sam the opportunity to smoke – by the way, it's also a sight.
Summarizing the game, I would like to say that this is a great experience of hard action for one player – no more and no less. It's not a fact that you will want to go through Vanquish again and again, but it's definitely worth experiencing it once from the beginning to the end. At best, it will take you 6 hours of pure time to complete the game, and for a long time your blood will pulse in your temples, and you will hear the whistle of bullets passing somewhere nearby. The game list is actually long and up-to-date. Furthermore, the number of events for each sport varies, depending on the saturation in the sporting world. By the way, you can watch broadcasts of certain competitions directly on the sportsbook page www.patrickspins777.co.uk . This is especially true in the eSport section, where live streaming from the twitch platform is also available on the Patrick Spins website. The payment methods available to players at Patrick Spins Casino can unfortunately be counted on the fingers of one hand.
