As with other block games, your opponent sees the blank back side of your units, creating fog-of-war as well, the blocks can rotate 90 degrees to track hit points, a mechanic pioneered in Quebec 1759. Each order is disc is chosen secretly and placed on top of units, then flipped and resolved simultaneously this way a player can bluff and be unpredictable. The hidden order mechanics are implemented via order discs. Giving three different ways to play a card ensures that a player never gets a bad hand because it is up to the player to make creative combinations. As with many card-driven games, a card play starts a turn and a card can be played in three different ways: for bonus unit movement, for a combat bonus, or as a historical event. Strike of the Eagle ( Sote) is a modern war boardgame, incorporating many contemporary game mechanics such as hidden orders, fog-of-war, diceless combat, and a card-driven system. Art style is minimalist, but evocative and appropriate to the game's aesthetic. And the story is carried in tight, evocative texts, two lines on each level, the first displayed on level load and the second when solved. There's a tasty combination of solver's uncertainty (the difficulty of solving puzzles) and performative uncertainty (the uncertainty inherent in any skill-and-action game). The zombie-girl cannot jump, and in some levels, if you are not careful, you may guide her into a gap in a platform, causing her to die (and of course you can mistime a jump and do likewise).Īs is typical with puzzle games, new puzzle elements are added over time, including risers, enemy zombies that can kill either of you, switchable laser barriers, and "holograms" of you that you can trigger to guide the zombie-girl even if you yourself are not present. better not go there), this is a pretty disquieting subtext from a gender political point of view. Not that it's really relevant to gameplay, but why is it that when games go here, the active character is always gendered male? And while I don't have any moral qualms about mutually consensual restraint (in face I, ah. Since she is a zombie, if she touches you, you die and must restart the level but apparently she doesn't mind being caged, because a heart appears above her when you guide her there. A second (pink, inevitably) character moves toward you when you are sufficiently close your goal is to guide her to a cage ("I loved her but she was a zombie, so I kept her safe in a cage"). You control the player character with WASD or the arrow keys "up" is a jump. I saw her standing there is a nice little puzzle platformer with a fairly novel core mechanic and a somewhat disquieting backstory. The basic scheme is similar, however: on each level, guide the lovers to one another.Īs with the first game, it's a nicely tuned Flash puzzler with clean, intelligent level design, and worth your while if you like puzzle games. Instead, it has much more of the feeling of a switch-controlled puzzler than an action game, though there is still a bit of a performative aspect: often, you need to switch quickly from one control to another to prevent the loss of one of the zombies. And the "platforming" aspect is gone, as you do not directly control any character on screen, nor are jumps possible. They are both zombies now (the male became one at the end of the first game), so do not kill each other when they touch. Unlike the first game, you do not play one of the lovers, but a mad scientist who uses lasers and holograms to guide the lovers together. I saw her too, with lasers is the sequel to i saw her standing there, though the gameplay is somewhat different.
