Resurrector Reviews

This is bad and the people who made it should feel bad.

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Resurrector is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few GameMaker Studio assets, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. It's important to also note the "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. This time they've ripped off a basic tower defense/brawler hybrid template and slapped some asset flipped sprites on it. There's no value or merit as a serious game, this is just a shallow asset flip with very limited gameplay, and there's only 8 levels, probably that's all the template they used had. Bitlock Studio/cBlck/GSGame have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145430]Agross[/url]" = [url=https://github.com/KasprzykM/agricola-unity]Agricola Unity[/url] developed by Michael Kasprzyk [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1033710]Froggo[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/road-crossing-game-template-29032]Road Crossing Game Template[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1092080]Pet Puzzle[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/simple-match-three-animals-puzzle-35926]Simple match-three animals puzzle[/url] developed by CATLOGIC [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1225920]Pixelfence[/url]" = [url=https://unityassets4free.com/pixel-tower-defense-prototyper/]Pixel Tower Defense Prototype[/url] developed by Kirill Nadezhdin [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1147200]SnL[/url]" = [url=https://github.com/moe4b-professional/Snakes-And-Ladders-Multiplayer]Snakes And Ladders Multiplayer[/url] developed by Moe Baker [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1144670]TacTikk[/url]" = [url=https://www.udemy.com/course/make-an-assassins-go-board-game-in-unity/]Make An Assassins Board Game in Unity[/url] developed by Wilmer Lin [/list] Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort mobile apps. 3D graphics programming does require a degree of skill and competence and unfortunately not all developers have the budget or talent to deliver this, despite 3D graphics cards hitting the mainstream in the 1990's. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the GameMaker Studio construction kit/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset favoured by amateur developers as it's cheap and requires little in the way of development skill, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. GameMaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Resurrector didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for finishing the first very simple level, and only around 37 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. That's right, only 2. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is to be expected. Gamers just didn't take this low quality game seriously, and for good reason. It's also important to note the "developer" here has connections to a number of shady Russian asset flippers and review manipulators who show an organised pattern to scam and defraud gamers with fake reviews and asset flipping the work of others for profit. While reviews are about the games, gamers should be informed when developers act unethically. Whether these connections are the same developer using multiple accounts, or just working closely with other unethical developers, gamers should be warned about the harm to gamers by this developer and their associates. Buying games from unethical developers puts your money at risk. Resurrector is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. [b]Note:[/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not count towards your Game Collector counts, achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.

If you have 70 cents lying arund on your computer and want to play a hold down your mouse button and win - game, this is the game for you. Nothing pretty, just a simple WASD game

Game not work and kinda doo doo. Trying to find something good to say but am coming up empty. I mean cheap game so ez i guess but damn was this lack luster. Tower defense but not good

No instructions on how to play the game. Health doesn't regenerate, as far as I could tell. Played the game for 15 minutes. Was a total waste of time.
