Dark Void game was launched as a year started and all those who were expecting on it eagerly, hurried to look through and write a whole bunch of negative reviews you might have seen on the web. I’d say they should cool down as the game is not that bad and it’s not fair to blame the Dark Void video game creators for not meeting dreams and unjustified expectations of the players.
Well, I have to recognize there is nothing much about the story of the Dark Void game but at the same time, it’s not bad, quite fun and there are several dramatic turnarounds. So the video game is placed during the World War II, where a cargo pilot William Augustus Grey is teleported to another world called Void, when flying through the Bermuda Triangle. There Will finds an alien race of Watchers and some humans, who are called Survivors in the Dark Void video game. The Dark Void story goes on Will discovers there is a feud between Watcher and Survivors and joins the survivors, wouldn’t you? But then the story goes a bit mad, as it appears that Void is a middle ground, connecting the Earth and Watchers’ planet and, guess what, the Watchers for whatever reason supply the Axis powers with all kinds of weapons and other wartime provisions. After that Serbia-born Austrian inventor Nikola Tesla (who actually died in 1943 in the age of 86) takes the stage in the Dark Void game and help Will to fight the Watchers with their technology and come back to the Earth.
The gameplay also has its word to say, so the jetpack does bring the players magic minutes of gliding, I’d say this gliding is what the game is worth plating for, as it does have a feel of flight as you can leap into the sky. In the Dark Void you can use all the weapons on foot and in the sky, so your shots will really be out of a blue sky for your enemies. At the same time watch yourself as well as when flying there will be some ships programmed to get behind you. (By the way not to die there do a 360-loop to get behind that ship). There are two cover systems in the Dark Void game, along with the standard cover system we all are used two there is a vertical cover system as well. Some people say this makes the game a bit boring, but I’d say it is a lot of fun to be quite invulnerable while watching your enemies die.
To wrap it up I’d say that Dark Void is quite a cool video game. I guess that all the review of disappointed players are due to too high expectations and too high prices set for the game initially, but as long as we can post a request and get some better pricing offer for it here, at Pikaba, it is worth spend some time gliding over the aliens’ heads.
