Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood Review
Genre: Third Person Shooter
Platform: PC
Developer: Sakari Indie
Publisher: Sakari Indie
Price: $7
Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood is cartoon-ish thirdperson shooter for PC
and is the first game from Sakari Indie. There's no story, but the outline is that you're a legionnare fighting a horde of rebels for unexplained reasons. Graphics are good for indie game, though the blood and explosion effects could use
some work.
Music isn't annoying, but it's nothing special. Sound effects are OK, but like the music aren't anything note worthy and sound a bit cheap. One thing that did annoy me though was the buzzing noise when enemies get near an objective. Maps are fairly open so it's not like it's hard to see that your objective is getting bombed.
Above: 2 of the 3 enemy types
So now for gameplay. Gameplay works like you'd expect it would. Click to shoot, right click to zoom, space to jump and WASD to move. All of the levels are either defense or survival with one joke mission that involves a massacre of chickens. For each kill you get XP to level up. When you level up, you can buy new guns and clothes with money you get for killing and completing missions. While the XP and money system could've added some extra replay value, you can reach the cap and get everything in about 3 hours, which is still longer than the game which you can beat in about 1 or 2 hours. While the game is fun, it is a bit short and gets repetitive.
My main problem with this game is the length, I unlocked everything and got almost all of the achievements in about 3 hours. The shooting mechanics are good, but there just isn't a lot of content. There are a few other flaws like the camera and sometimes buggy headshot detection, but the main flaws are that it's too short and too easy. Supposedly they're working on a multiplayer update, but the last time they posted on their blog was February 19, 2010.
Overall it's not a bad game, I thought the shooting mechanics felt right and the graphics were decent, but there isn't enough length or variety. Still, it's only $7, so if you have a little extra money laying around, you might as well give this game a try.
PROS
-Decent graphics
-Simple but well designed shooting mechanics
-Leaderboards
-Giant Chicken
Cons
-Short
-Mediocre sound effects
-Camera takes some getting used to
-Lack of enemy variety
-Too easy
Score: 7.3/10

Pyromancer Progress (Mar. 18, 2010)
The Homebreaker should reduce damage and knockback from sentries while held.
PS: The new pyro hat looks epic.

"So much blood!"
I bought Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood. Pretty short, but it was worth $7. I'll probably review it soon.

No Country For Old Men
Watched No Country for Old Men. Great movie, not going to review it though. Also, that Anton guy is creepy (obvious.)
I'm planning on watching a movie everyday for the next 4 days.

Infected
Virus infected my PC. Had to wipe my hard drive. I hate having to re-install 20 billion programs everytime this happens.

Pyromancer Mini-Update
24/7 KOTH Event Harvest instant spawn with bots (Ones with AI) and humiliation respawn is the closest thing you can get to farming without actually farming.

Continuity
So I recently played a game called Continuity, you match up puzzle like tiles in order for your character to get a key (which you then use to access a door). Fans of Portal will probably enjoy this.

Portal 2
I was unsure about Portal 2, I was afraid that too many old tricks would be re-used and it wouldn't be as fresh, but after reading the new Game Informer coverage, I'm glad that it's shaping up nicely with new features and items for Valve to create interesting puzzles with.

Pyromancer Progress (Mar. 3, 2010)
About 10%. Since this might take a while, I decided to make a pyro oriented spray to let people know that I burninated them.

Borderlands, The Armory of General Knoxx
Been playing Borderlands lately. Just started on the General Knoxx stuff since I was under leveled when I bought it. I might make a review of it when I finish it.
