The Witcher: Monster Slayer

The Witcher is a real mainstream, especially after the release of the game and the series. Fans reread the works of Andrzej Sapkowski and discuss the smallest details. The Witcher games from CD Projekt RED, especially the third part, finally imprinted in the memory of gamers the image of Geralt from Rivia. He is not human, so he is feared and avoided, and cannot do without his help when you need to get rid of monsters. In this article, we will consider whether this game is successful and not inferior to the legendary The Witcher.

The Witcher: Monster Slayer is an augmented reality game where we take on the role of a brand new witcher who just passed the last exam. It would seem that after that all roads should open, which happens on paper, but suddenly reality knocks on your door: Monster Slayer has the same symptoms at launch as Pokemon Go. 

The Local World

When you start the game, you immediately realize that these are modified Google Maps, which are made for the style of the game The Witcher. You can go in any direction because there are monsters and grass everywhere. Unfortunately, this is the only thing you will meet, at least during the first hours of the game. Many complain that after joining, you feel like you're in a witchy DARK SOULS: there are enemies around with skulls over their heads, and the first quest is as much as 2 km away from you.

Combat System

After proper preparation, the battle begins. If you've played The Elder Scrolls: Blades, you've already seen everything: the enemy periodically attacks, and you can defend against it, plus hit back. Blows can be fast and powerful, as they are told in training. Depending on the type of enemy, one or the other type of attack will be more effective, and the speed of filling the critical attack scale also depends on it. It's not easy there either: time slows down and we need to tap on the screen at the right moment. Sometimes it seems that the ideal attacks depend on randomness or Internet connection, that is, "once for once is not necessary." And from this, I note, sometimes the outcome of the battle depends.

Pumping

Recovery is different from the usual RPG. Here is all that is inherent in the usual RPG but implemented unusually. For example, we get to experience for the victory over the monster, well. Experience is needed to raise the level, for this issue various ingredients for alchemy and skill points. By the way, points can also be earned for killing a certain number of monsters.

Conclusion

Monster Slayer is an unusual product. He again divided the players into two camps, as happened after the release of Cyberpunk 2077. Someone defends the developers, saying that the world of witchers is hardcore and every victory should be deserved, someone object, they say it is necessary to fix the complexity curve since casuals mostly sit on mobile phones, and the success of the game depends on online.
