I know the prolific author and fellow contemporary S.L Perrin over at loved Chernobylite. But I just couldn’t connect with the game at all. There is a hell of a lot of differing game mechanics and it juggles them all brilliantly. Everything I have mentioned and more is in CHernobylite. Fallout 4, but a crazy mad Russian story. Chernobylite on paper is everything I want in a game. A Russian, survival game with crafting, base building and resource management. On the face of it, Chernobylite should be right up my street. This is brilliantly executed as you begin to feel and relate to Ivan and become more immersed in the world. But the frustration you feel as a player is reflected by Ivan in the game himself. But it came at the detriment to your team’s mood/health so out you go again to gain the materials/food needed to fix that issue. So you go out once again, harvest the resources needed and build the crafting bench. Doing so means you can build that workbench and access new weapons that are needed. You just wanna crack on and get the heist going but you need to do the same area for resources for the umpteenth time. Sometimes this is brilliant and helps towards the immersion. unfortunately, the missions become repetitive extremely quickly. These systems are well thought out, work brilliantly and add a lot of depth to Chernobylite. Resources are also required for building new weapons at craft benches so upgrading weapons might be necessary to complete a mission but can come at the cost of your teams’ comfort and efficiency. You also need to make sure they are warm enough, the air is purified and electricity flowing, etc. The better the beds you build, the better quality of sleep your team receives. Resources are needed to build upgrades to your base to keep your team happy and effective. Don’t feed them enough and they will resent you, become unruly and start performing poorly. Although you will run out of food quickly. Feed your team well and their mood and performance will increase. You can choose how to ration this at the end of each mission. Food is required to keep your team and yourself fed. This requires going on missions (and assigning your teammates to missions) to gather resources and food as well as recruiting new members to your team. The main aim of Chernobylite is to build up all the required parts needed to pull off a heist on the Chernobyl power plant. and this is the main thrust of Chernobylite gameplay. Of course, you are completely underequipped for this so decide to accrue resources and recruit new members to your team. You regroup in an abandoned warehouse and plan to immediately return and save Tatyana. A member of your mercenary team is killed and you narrowly escape thanks to the weird/paranormal/exotic mineral Chernobylite that powers your portal gun. Now, 30 years later, she calls to you so you head back into the powerplant to rescue her.Īs you can probably guess the mission goes completely wrong. While you managed to escape the devastation your fiance Tatyana, didn’t. A scientist who worked at Chernobyl on that fateful day in 1986. I could keep going on but I think you get the point. Survival?… Check, Horror?… Check, Base Building?…yep got that too, Rougelite?… Sort of, FPS?…definitely, Stealth game?… if you want it to be sure. You see while it has a serious Fallout vibe to it, Chernobylite has so many different genres and game mechanics wrapped up inside it that it is impossible to put it in any single genre. But with Chernobylite it seems complete warranted to point out how much it feels like Fallout 4. As a general rule of thumb, I avoid it completely. Developed by The Farm 51, Chernobylite is extremely difficult to pin in any category. What if Fallout 4 was written and developed by Russians? What if it took place in the aftermath of Chernobyl? These decade long gaming questions are finally answered in Chernobylite.
