"Fighting machine Akilla": description of the game

There is one good way to distinguish an amateur from playing on the PC from the owner of the console. You just need to give him a disk with the game about the big battling robots. Ideal for this genre is the "Fighting Machine of Aquila."

The owner of the game console will say that he is already tired of these mechanical creations, and the player on the PC will be only happy with this acquisition.

"Fighting machine Akilla" - the continuer of the genre?

The creation of the company called Incoming came a very long time, but still has no continuer of his business, such that during the game he overtook adrenaline, around there were beautiful landscapes, and you jumped on a dashing horse. Very close to this Gun Metal, but, unfortunately, he was extremely aristocratic and monotonous, for which the product was permanently forgotten by many players.

"Combat machine Akilla 2" has every chance to become the winner in the nomination "The most clockwork arcade". This game came to personal computers from consoles and has all the similarities with Incoming.

Gameplay

In this creation of the company "Atari" there is a robot-plane, as well as a huge map. You should fully plunge into the thick of the armed conflict, where you will have the whole story. In some cases, lags appear in the game, but this is not so critical.

For smooth playing, your PC should have a graphics card no worse than GeForce 4 or Radeon 9600. In the game your device will not be so easy, as it will have to process the drawing range of a couple of kilometers and several hundred units around you.

Technical side

The graphics of the game are not so outstanding that it will help to facilitate the work of your PC. In the "Fighting Machine Akilla" there is no development of small objects, such as trees. There are forests in the game, but on closer examination all the defects of the models are revealed. A similar situation with clouds that are just drawn on the dome of the sky.

The game lacks those graphic chips that were present in Gun Metal, where you could simply plow the sky in the airplane mode, admiring the sun glare and charming snow. In addition, Gun Metal had a third-person view, since the robot's model looked stylish and it was not a shame to show it. In the game "Fighting Machine Akilla" you can look at the world only through the eyes of the machine, as its model can plunge into the player's shock when switching on the view from the 3rd person.

Porting from the console

Games that have been ported from gaming consoles do not always have good optimization for a personal computer. But in the "Battle Engine Aquila" there are all the necessary amenities for PC players. It has extensive graphics settings, support for mouse control, and the lack of a "Press Start" button at the beginning of the game.

The Iron Hero is controlled using the classic WASD and mouse keys. The robot can not even jump, but only moves and shoots. In terms of weapons, there is a modest choice of blue guns.

In combat, the player's machine is determined by only two parameters - health and energy. The health reserve can be restored at its base, and the energy can be replenished itself, for this it is enough only to stand in one place for a while. It is spent on moving and shooting, so it will not be possible to fly the whole battle in the air and hit enemies with its bullets and missiles. The player will have to periodically descend from heaven to earth and replenish the energy reserves, and sometimes return to the base for the repair.

Like Gun Metal, the game "Fighting Machine Akilla" does not differ much in the variety of the story line. The most interesting moments in the BEA are missions on the water, where the battle is over the surface of the oceanic waters and we have to constantly think about where to land in order to replenish the energy reserve of the car and get a little medical treatment.

Summarizing, we can say that this game is inferior on many fronts similar in genre products. There are no beautiful models in it, although this shortcoming will be visible only on closer examination. In any case, it is worth a little play and then decide whether to remove the game or play next.
