Smoke and Sacrifice

Know somebody who might be like this game?

Summary

In Smoke and Sacrifice players assume the role of Sachi, a young mother on a quest to discover the fate of her child. The game takes place in a darkly fantastical world where grotesque plant life and animals roam and harsh societal customs rule. Taking cues from modern survival classics, Smoke and Sacrifice evolves the genre with its intensely personal story and complex ecosystem. Creatures forage, mate, breed and prey on one another, creating a living world. Only by taming the game’s wilds can Sachi hope to unravel the mystery at the heart of Smoke and Sacrifice.

Depicted in a beautiful, hand-painted style, Smoke and Sacrifice’s storybook visuals disguise its brutal story of motherhood and survival. Sachi doesn’t just have to worry about the game’s antagonists - the entire game world poses a threat. Players can alter the behaviour of plant and animal life, but this may also limit the resources Sachi has to craft items from. The deadly smoke also poses unique challenges throughout the game, altering enemy as well as player behaviour.

En 256 couleurs et en 3D isométrique (vraie fausse 3D) avec des **** bonhommes niais et des petites bonnes femmes niaises, personnages disproportionnés mais sous un air sombre de monde post-apo boulotté à la va-vite auquel on ne croit pas une seconde, la faute à ces graphismes de maisons de poupées...On a de toute manière rarement vu aussi vilain, aussi laid... et avec le mauvais goût qui suinte de partout... mais comment font-ils ? ah je sais, ils ne font pas : ce sont des stagiaires, des incompétents, des blaireaux, des incapables, des profiteurs. Et des branleurs. Et des bricoleurs qui bricolent leur merde en espérant que "ça" va se vendre ?!...Et puis quoi encore ?... et la marmotte, elle emballe ses étrons et elle chie du chocolat ? cet étron indé est une flatulence qu'on offre volontiers en sacrifice au trône, comme dans la célèbre série bien connue et bien nulle à chier : la guerre du trône...

Solar Sails’ debut captivates mainly with its atmosphere and graphic style – similar to the most interesting works of Zoink! and Image & Form. And that is why, despite some of its shortcomings, I ultimately spent three pleasant evenings with it.

There are good ideas here, but I wouldn’t say the game is worth playing. Even if you are a survival game nut or seriously invested in long, drawn out stories, I’d probably recommend against grabbing this one.

While I felt the beginning of the game struggled to keep my attention, I really enjoyed the rest of it. However, there are several things I think could really help improve the experience. I didn’t particularly like the character design but did have a great time surviving. The excellent fast travel and saving system made death not so crushing. At times the pacing was a little awkward and I cared little about any of the characters, however, I believe overall it was a better-than-average survival game.

If you can get past the fact that you need to craft rather than combat your way to the finish line, Smoke and Sacrifice is a pleasant experience that will keep you occupied for 15-20 hours.
