When you first play a game, it’s easy to get the wrong impression if it’s the first time you play that game. When I played The Suffering: Ties That Bind, I didn’t like it at first, especially with the hallucinations in the game. Another game I didn’t like at first was Deadfall Adventures on the Xbox 360. However, I gave this game a chance to be fair. Were my first impressions about Deadfall Adventures wrong as well?
One aspect of the gameplay is the exploration. You find yourself in temples and tunnels searching for lost artifacts. The first level is a temple in a desert then the next level is a tunnel in some arctic setting. If these levels sound a little generic, that’s because they are. These levels are the same levels I’d expect to see in a Tomb Raider game.
Another aspect of the gameplay is the shooting. You shoot enemies in this game but except for the sniper rifle, it’s very hard to line up your shots. Luckily on the easy difficulty, you can kamikaze every enemy shooting as you run up to them while only dying a few times.
I had the difficulty of the game and the puzzles set on Easy since you can place them on different difficulties if you choose. As someone who has difficulty with puzzles in old-school Resident Evil games, the puzzles didn’t present too much trouble on figuring out.
I have no problems with the controls. All the commands were easy to pull off. So there is nothing I would change about the controls.
The story of the game is that your character’s grandfather searched for artifacts and he left all his research to you. A government agent hires you to accompany them but you run into trouble when the Soviets and the Nazis are after the same artifact. That is where the story of the game begins.
The graphics are not that impressive. This game came out on Xbox 360 and PCs in 2013 and PlayStation 3 in 2014. The graphics on this game would be acceptable if it came out at the beginning of the Xbox 360 life cycle.
I have no problem with the sound in the game. The characters’ voices didn’t annoy me and I liked the music played during levels. So there is nothing I would change about the sound.
There is replayability because you can compete against other players online. While the servers are still up, I couldn’t find anyone to play online with. There is also a survival mode but if you play survival by yourself, you will be annihilated almost immediately. The survival mode is too difficult for one person to play by themselves.
The gameplay is not that fun but the game is easy at least on the easy difficulty. I have no problems with the controls. The story is interesting and makes sense. The graphics look like they would be what is expected if the game came out ten years before it did and I have no problems with the sound. There is replayability online but I couldn’t find a game online So I give Deadfall Adventures on the Xbox 360 a 5 out of 10. While you might be interested, there is no reason to check out this game.
