Domestic games

Good day to everyone. The Russian game industry is now in the best light. Many Russian computer games are not very well made, but there are those that are made with love for gamers and good quality. I decided to talk about them.

1. Color Lines (balls).

One of those games that are known to this day, although it is over 20 years old. Names she served as an impetus to the creation of logical puzzles. “Balls”, at the time of release, supported 256 colors, there was a graphic shell, buttons for all the functions of the game, and was included in the free set of pre -installed programs. After the release of this game, many people were afraid of the time behind this game and set in a row the same balls.

Allods were the first domestic role -playing game to see the whole world. We had to travel around the world, fulfill all sorts of different instructions, improve the characteristics of our hero. During wanderings, mercenaries could join us, and it turned out that during the battle we were controlled by a small detachment of soldiers. And this gave the game strategy elements.

It is also worth noting that the plot and some quests varied, depending on what hero we played. Uniqueness gave the game that the whole world was divided into independent soaring islands.

The second part was remembered by its unique multiplayer. In it, if the character was dying, then all the accumulated good disappeared, and any player could find him.

It was the multiplayer who contributed to the popularity of this game.

3. Corsair: Damn the Far Seas

In the early 2000s, many good projects came out, but the first corsars struck the most. Namely: an interesting plot, a solid soundtrack, a large, diverse world, a good RPG component, and there was still a high -quality 3D.
In addition, it was possible to hire a team, improve your ship, perform various quests, receive licenses, roam the cities, fencing on swords, and much more ..

It is worth noting the fact that the English version undertook to publish Bethesda Softworks.

4. Il-2 attack aircraft.

One of the best simulators of aircraft pilot during World War II. In the game “Il-2 Sturmovik” are recreated with accuracy, to the smallest detail, 32 aircraft. For the helms of which you can fly in 8 campaigns that delight the variety of actions (for IL-2 we will destroy ground targets, while in heavenly battles, German planes mainly participated).

Revolutionary, at that time: built -in editor of missions, network mode for 80 people, beautiful graphics, change of day and night in real time, and a great sound brought popularity.

5. Space rangers 1 & 2

“Corses in the future”. This is how we can say about the rangers.

If the events of the Corses took place in the past, then in space rangers, the actions were in the future, in the early 3,000s. Large open world, chic text quests, variability with which it was possible to become unique (both bad and good hero). The game world flexibly reacted to the actions of the player and developed independently of him.
It is worth noting the fact that the chosen class and race of the character influenced the passage of the game.

In addition, the world was investigated in step -by -step mode and used instead of 3D isometry.

In the second part, cool quests were waiting for us, a large and unique world, a chic sound … In general, what was in the first part.

But the second rangers presented us with strategic battles on the surface of the planets.

All two parts were deserved by worldwide recognition.
In 2013, a reprint was released. Details in the review

6. Ex Machina

The setting of “post -apocalypse” is popular all over the world, and it has not bypassed our domestic games developers. After the atmosphere of the Earth became unsuitable, people began to wear special masks, and the car is now a means of survival.

The game combines several genres: a car symbol, RPG and arcade, which makes it interesting enough for familiarization. And not in vain. After all, it has many means of transportation (from a standard truck to the Urals), about 30 types of weapons, nonlinear plot, many locations, various quests.

In Russia, the game received high awards and many laudatory reviews from critics. But in the West, the game was not accepted so much, but foreign gamers came in a fool.

7. Truckers 2

Very often, Russian car systems are of poor quality. But there is a game that at the beginning of the 21st century made a splash in the domestic game industry. These were the legendary “truckers 2”, the continuation of the first simulator of the driver transporting cargo over long distances. Unlike the first part, the second world of the game has become more diverse: cars and vans appeared, it is necessary to repair your vehicle, added an upgrade of the car, you can hire other driver to work, etc.D ..

In the game you need to observe traffic rules (you can be fined for speeding, travel to red light. ), you can buy cars from the mafia (but they can deceive you).

Great open world, good graphics and a chic soundtrack from the Aria group made this game one of the best in their genre.

8. Full -wheel drive: UAZ 4×4.

This game was visited by the most folk car – the legendary UAZ SUV. There are many cars: from UAZ-450 and Hunter, to Patriot and UAZ-469.

The routes in the game are diverse. We will be in Kamchatka and Baikal, in Karelia and the taiga, and in the addition of the Ural Call we make a trip to the Urals.

The game presents the main modes for SUVs: trial, trophy-raid, orientation, off-road sprint.
With a kind word we can say about tuning. Any car in the game can be made unique. Change the roof, bumper, change color, put the winch, replace wheels ..

Ice-Pick Lodge released one of the most unusual games. We have to visit alternative reality, spend twelve gaming days in a city dying of infection. The game itself does not have a clear genre. In it, RPG elements, quest, action from the first person and the survival simulator are intertwined in it.

Only three characters to choose from, and everyone will have PlayOJO Casino their own view of what is happening in the game. Interesting and differently solved quests, memorable characters, complexity, sound component made the game one of the best.

• “Best Russian Game” according to Absolute top ag.
• “Best Debut of the Year” according to the PlayGround portal.ru.
• entered the five best games of the year according to the WWW Internet portal.IXBT.COM, and also took second place in the nomination “Best Game” in the genres of Quest and Adventure.
• I took second place in the nominations “Best Sound Row”, “Best Plot” and “The most atmospheric game”, as well as the third place in the nomination “Best Patriotic Game 2005” according to the VWW portal.CRPG.ru.
• Game of the year according to the magazine of the LIK

After the game “Mor. Utopia »Moscow Studio Ice-Pick Lodge continued to experiment with understanding what was happening in the player’s game. As in the “Mor” we are thrown into an unusual world full of symbolism, philosophy, metaphysics.

We had to survive, collect various resources and fight enemies. Many people remember the “brothers”-monsters, who seemed to have escaped from Resident Evil or Silent Hill. They guarded the beautiful “sisters”, and it was the victory over the brothers and communication with the girls that was the key to the passage of this project.

“Turbor”, like “Mor. Utopia “, after passing the game, left a lot of food for thought.

At the end of the twentieth century, the campaign K-D Lab released a cult game known around the world. In Wangers, in the role of a pirate, merchant, traveler and racer, we had to drive around the world, fight, exchange and increase our authority.

It is worth noting a unique world full of psychedelics and philosophy, which lived and changed regardless of the player. The game has its own culture, religion and even language. We can say a kind word about a large fleet, various and memorable characters and a chic soundtrack.

The critics liked this game. Basically noted the unique world and greater freedom of action. Sites placed high marks, the minimum of which was 80/100. Game site.Exe set 90/100 and the “Our Choice” award.

12. Heroes of Might and Magic v.

The fifth “Heroes” were created by Nival, which made it a qualitative project in the genre of step -by -step strategy, with RPG elements. We are represented by six different fractions that have their own characteristics. There are six campaigns in the game, five missions in each.
The innovations that the game presented were significant:
1. In the fifth part, the universe is embodied in three -dimensional graphics.
2. The “Fast game” option has been added to the multiplayer, with which you can set a limit on the number of moves that allows you to speed up the gameplay.
3. New modes of the game “Duel” and “Duel 3 × 3” appeared
4. Players can see the trace of opponents on Earth. It changes and increases with the size of the army. Each fraction has its own distinctive “tail”. This feature is available only in a collection publication.

As before, we build buildings, develop a hero, hire wars, explore the world, extract resources, enter into battle in step -by -step mode, etc.D ..

In addition, the game has two addons that add new fractions, units, mission.

13. King’s Bounty. The legend of the knight.

In Russia, they have always been trepidated with step -by -step strategies, like Heroes of Might and Magic. We always had craftsmen who made fan mods or additions to games. But the developers of the Space Rangers entered the Katauri Interactive studio and created this wonderful game.
The essence remains the same: we travel around the world, carry out various tasks, hire wars and fights on a tactical map, in step -by -step mode, as in “Heroes”.

It is worth noting that the game has a beautiful and modern graphics, a high -quality and interesting plot, many improvements that expand the magical and combat component.
The reviewer of “Gambling” George Kurgan wrote that the main advantages of the game are the plot and visual design. And in general, he appreciated the game very positively:

King’s Bounty does not contain a single design revelation, but everything that is in it works like no one else. This is a small but very convincing masterpiece of interactive art. Hundreds, thousands of small details draw a real fairy tale before the player – in every sense of the word. It seems that this does not happen: the Romek of an old-fashioned PC game that moved to a colorful 3D becomes a genre revelation.

14. Demiurgi 1 & 2.

The Nival Interactive campaign created this game, focusing on the well -known series of the Heroes of Might and Magic Games and the Card series “Magic: The Gathering”. In general, the project successfully combines these two “borrowings”. Plus everything, the game contains an unusual world of fantasy.

It is worth noting the duel mode. In it, it is necessary to call creates to their aid, using spells to manipulate reality, rivals pursue the goal of surviving themselves, and by applying one way or another to damage the maga-appendant to reduce his health to zero to zero.
For victories in duels, the heroes receive the experience necessary to increase the level of heroes. With levels, the heroes receive special abilities and a faster increase in magical energies in duels.

In total, four fractions await us, which have their pros and cons (some are strong in the offensive, others specialize in defense). Here you have byborgs-necromantes, a faction of flying creatures, forest wars, and an orc race.

The second demiurges became a direct continuation of the first part. In a fictional world, there is a conflict of four races: vital (green color, life and nature), chaos (red color, chaos and fire), kinett (blue color, movement and water), synthetes (black, death and technique).

In the game, we will find two passage modes: strategic and duel. The first mode has changed compared to the first part. He became like King’s Bounty (there are no more locks and global spells, there are only three resources left, and the player has only one main character who passes the entire campaign with him, and the experience, skills and runes gained by him will remain and go from the mission to the mission).

The second regime remained unchanged. We, as usual, call for the help of various creatures, use spells, and get experience points for winning.

The game’s ratings were high. Playground set 8.5/10;LKI – 80/100. Metacritic – 78/100 (based on 17 reviews.)

15. Silent Storm operation.

The Nival Interactive campaign has released one of the best tactical role -playing games called Silent Storm operation. The actions of the game unfold during the Second World War. We are given a detachment of soldiers under the control, with the help of which we must complete the combat mission. It is worth noting a unique physical model: the bodies of enemies are correctly reacted to getting out of the weapon, the buildings collapse from getting into them from a grenade launcher (you can destroy part of the house and bury under the fragments of enemies)

There is also an unusual setting in Silent Storm, where the Second World War is adjacent to science fiction. Here you have secret organizations and exoskeletons (as in XCOM).

One of the best real strategies about the Second World War. We have to play in three campaigns: USSR, fascist Germany and allies (England and USA).
As we pass the game, we will receive various orders and medals, and even increase in rank, but only once.

It is worth noting the fact that we do not need to build a base, but we can capture them. In addition, more than 40 samples of infantry and 200 samples of real military equipment that participated in hostilities are recreated in the game.
The game has several additions. Many games have been created on the game engine.

17. Death to spies.

One of the best Russian Stals Excels. The main hero of the game, Strogen Semyon Alekseevich, the captain of the fourth department of counterintelligence “Smersh”, will have to perform several diverse tasks, at several points of the globe. There are plenty of ways to pass, like the choice of weapons (you can neutralize the enemy by chloroform, kill from a pistol or remove from a far from a sniper rifle).

A special role is played by disguise. The original camouflage camouflage suit is suitable in nature – in the high grass the hero is almost invisible. In some missions, he dresses in a regular suit, impersoning the civilian.
To change clothes, you need to fulfill a number of requirements – kill without damage to the body, pull the body into a place that is secretive from the eyes of the enemy and change there. If the strip is discovered by an enemy, the disguise will be disclosed. If you get an inappropriate weapon, the hero will quickly fall under suspicion.

We can use enemy transport if we disguise well. Sometimes this is necessary for the passage of certain missions.

It is worth noting a wonderful soundtrack consisting of songs of the 20-40s of the XX century.

In addition to the game, we are again given control of the old acquaintance of Alexei Strogov. He must make a number of complex missions, under the code name “moment of truth”. Within seven missions, we will be in almost all countries that participated in the Second World War.

18. Timeshift.

One of those rare domestic shooters who are interesting to pass. The game takes place in the near future. Scientists have created a costume with which you can move in time. But the main villain abducts him, and changes the story where he is the head of the world. Our main character will go into the past to change the alternative reality.

The main feature of the game is a change in time. You can slow down, stop or rewind.
In addition, it is worth noting a good graphics, smart artificial intelligence, dynamic battles, and a solid musical component. More the game was released on PS3 and Xbox 360.

19. Eastern Front: Unknown War.

Another good domestic first -person shooter. The actions of the game unfold during World War II (they love the Second World War in Russia). Our main character, named Karl Stolz, is resurrected using a special installation. Now he has acquired a special shield that could stop bullets (you need to make a shot three times in a row in the head of the enemy). You can still kill three opponents from the knife and get an increase in health.

As we pass the game, we learn about the secret experiment of the Nazis over people, and the creation of the “perfect soldier”. The plot, albeit non -stale, but is tailored thoroughly and soundly. The shooting part is not bad. Opponents come across various (from ordinary soldiers, to the military SS and telepaths). Yes, and the means of destroying the enemies will be enough (from Kolt and MG-42, to PPSh and Fenix ​​flamethrower). In addition, I would like to note in the game an excellent sound and a solid picture. For 2006, she looked very good.

In conclusion – a brief result. The Eastern Front is a game that is by no means claiming revolutionary, but worthy of attention. The main character can easily see a personality, and the main characters are also very colorful and do not resemble “furniture blanks”.

20. Will Rock.

Will Rock is a shooter, from the first person developed by Saber Interactive, and published the game – Ubisoft.
According to the plot, the main character needs to save the world and his girlfriend, who was abducted by fanatics, who had managed to return to the life of ancient Greek creatures and gods. In total, the game has ten various levels that can be passed alone or jointly, which adds a degree of madness and fun. It is worth noting the variety of enemies. You will meet the harpies, satires, minotaurs, lions and tigers, sphinxes, three types of skeletons, Amuras and many more different opponents. There are plenty of means of destroying enemies (from the sapper shovel and “Kolt” to crossbow and minigan)

In addition, the game has a good implementation system of enemies. Usually the enemy is materialized from the ground, and it is always very noisy and suddenly, which can easily scare and confuse the player.
The game, unfortunately, was not very popular, but as a domestic substitute for Serious Sam, he is very cool.

This game, published in 1984, won the whole world and became one of the famous and recognizable.
It was developed by Alexei Pazhitnov.

A few years later, she was released at Nintendo Game Boy

The Chinese, using the invention of Pazhitnov, released a tetris clone called Brick Game.

But for the sold Chinese clones, Alexei Pazhitnov did not receive a penny.
Tetris is a phenomenon that has become a symbol of the USSR, and later Russia. She was the first domestic game to make a splash in the gaming industry.

The best comments

Hello, the editors of Stopheim. I am the mother of Evgenia for 20 years. The other day, my son read on your site some kind of “blog”, as he calls it. After that he cried, and told me that it was already old! Now he is constantly sitting in his room, where I hear the squeak of music, and rare sobs. To my questions through the door, he replies that he plays “balls” (I don’t know what it is, apparently some kind of newfangled drug). I, as a mother, ask your editorial office to delete all the materials containing information that can damage my child from the site, otherwise I will sue.
Mom Evgenia 20 years old.

May bastard … I found balls … God, I felt that it was already old … and for a long time no longer at school … and no longer play hide and seek on the street and does not fight on sticks … And these years do not return … author, you made the old man feel the old man. You are a monster.
(Eugene. 20 years)

About “Mor. Utopia “is very difficult to tell, since this is a very peculiar project and not everyone will understand it. As I understand it, I told.

Well, in solidarity with a pair of three comments above.
From my loved ones I note:

Field of Miracles: Capital Show-Suddenly (!), but at the time of 386x computers in the absence of a “dandy”, with the ability to play with friends – the game was a hit.

The pilots brothers – a quest based on the cartoon “Investigation Kolobok” is the first part of the masterpiece, then worse. (by the way, they reprinted to Android)

Petka and Vasily Ivanovich save the galaxy – the genre of the comedy quest turned out for a long time at our height.

Vananers – unique in its kind.

Gromada – arcade trips on tanks, not a standard, but for its time it is very worthy.

The prince is chic (the second part has already passed me by)

Allods – well, they already said above, up to the damned lands inclusive.

Horde – there was such a good strategy

Cossacks (well, I don’t know whether the Games made in the CIS are already considered domestic, although for me all the territories of the USSR still Russia)

Space rangers – both parts, for me the best games in their genre.

And then I realized that I became an old barn, in the styles “I am in Soviet times LLC..”
So I’ll stop. There were many good Russian games. And at some period of the deficit, even GAG was in demand.
Especially at a time when, according to the expanses of domestic tents with disks, the Fargus fish swam to understand which Russian games and which were not difficult.

God! Two mowers to this master for color lines. He was plunged into it on his father’s computer at work))) Lemmining and Prince of Persia Also used))

+ Dunights of dungeons
+ Storm

Well, he wanted to list our good games and briefly attributed what kind of animals it is. In general, for a person who does not know norms

I remember DOS there were 2 more toys … Balda and perestroika. And if the perestroika is the clone of the game TopPler, then our Bades in my opinion came up with?
