Moroi Preview: Grimdark action game, it's actually very interesting
The most surprising thing Moroy It's its sense of humor. Moroy is a top-down dual intelligent action and puzzle game, each cell contains a unique and weird vignette in a surreal and horror dungeon. In the first area of the map, there is a cell containing a sensational meat grinder that craves human flesh. In another, a dead man is tied to a feeding tube that is still pumping the slope into the bulb, pulsed. The next room is over and you come across a talking duck with too many human teeth in your mouth. There are too many teeth, but this duck has a complete smile suit. Then he tear everything apart for you, leaving a bloody empty bill.
This moment made me laugh. In bloody Moroy It's so ridiculous that it turns the corner into hilarious absurdity that makes the Bhorror movie so charming. You won't expect ducks to have teeth, but what's more surprising is their sudden removal and the duck's remaining, bloody smile. These shocking moments appear in Moroy At a fast shooting speed, turn the atmosphere from cruelty to strangeness, and then back to what it seems until you feel like you are dreaming of by Sam Raimi’s Francisco Goya Fever. marvelous.
Moroy From creator Alex Stanescu and his independent studio Violet Saint. Although he is now based in Switzerland, Stanscu is Romanian. Moroy His native fairy tales are filled with Grimdark. The name of the game refers to the vampire in Romanian folklore. Stanescu is also supported by David Lynch, heirs Bosch, HR Giger and Little nightmarewith a sense of humor from Robert Sheckley and Douglas Adams. But with this as the core Moroy It was a totally creepy world, Stanescu explained in a media briefing hosted by game publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment.
“I have a lot of stuff in my subconscious,” he said. “The weird monster general, maybe carnival art, Bosch and early medieval art, and comics. I always try to find my own style.” Stanescu later clarified further: “Creepy stuff. For example, in a puzzle, you have to vomit into someone else’s mouth. And, you’ll find reality that happens in some places, like in the room you find someone else expects to find, etc. Assume dream logic. ”
Indeed, it's more like nightmare logic. Each unit Moroy Connected – Cut the hand from the sacred hand so that the carnivorous grinder can make bone dust, which you can then give to the creepy wizard who turns it into a witch of salt and then be yourself devour the potion, and so on. Ultimately, at the introductory level, you'll find a sword, break a door and continue to escape, but prison only gets weirder. From time to time, the sound will interrupt your progress and whispers will allow you to find it. Even if you have no memory of this place, the creatures in the cell seem to know who you are. More things happen Moroy Compared to eyes.
“I told a lot through legends and collections, so that brings a lot of storytelling,” Stanescu said. “The storytelling of characters and gameplay is very mysterious. You have to find and pay attention to what is going on.”
A storyline without branches MoroyAccording to Stanescu, but your choices throughout the game affect its ending. He said the full experience should take about nine hours to complete, but if you hunt down all the secrets, you can expand.
fighting Moroy Quick and fun, heavy metal replaces the game's moody dungeon music at the beginning of each battle, thus forming the proper tone of chaos and slaughter. Dungeon Guards are the main enemies, they appear in five or so waves at a time, some more powerful than others. I ended up an hour-long demonstration with an enhanced sword and a Gatling gun in my arsenal. With swords, you will have basic and heavy attacks, plus completed moves that accumulate when dealing damage. The gun does not require ammunition, but it runs on a cooled mechanic and has basic shots and finalizers. Dodge rolled up your moves in the early game, and the balance of these battles felt right. Apart from dodging and attacking, there is a fiery core scattered around the environment, and you may explode and cause AOE damage – but be warned that you can also be hurt if you are too close to prosperity. Each battle ends with intestines and broken bodies (hopefully not yours), making pebbles litter.
Bloody Surrealism, Crazy Fighting and Body Horror Number MoroyThe first hour was impressive and I was delighted to discover all the secrets throughout the game, no matter how many exploding bodies I had to dig out. Even because of all the exploding bodies.
Moroy Expiration is coming – “Early 2025.”
