Red Comrades 3: Return of Alaska. Reloaded Reviews

Today the game uninstalled itself and upon reinstallation, it would not launch, got stuck with black screen and cursor. Need urgent help.

Just like the previous games in the franchise it has a really interesting story with awesome characters and a bunch of hilarious jokes. A really great underrated pnc game, I hope Buka releases more.

This is a true sequel to Red Comrades series, but I really miss the old cartoon style from previous games.

Red Comrades! Absolutley Love This Game! This is just as good as the first one! Dont buy the sequel theres no point! This Game is Hilarious, Fun & The Graphics are Really Good. The story Line is Humourous also! Only Critique for me is the Russian Voice Sound, however subtitled well and still really funny! Defo Reccomend

OKAY, so definitely the worst game in the series, felt short and the puzzles were strange and annoying at times. If you're new to the series start with the 1st game. Buy this if you're a major fan just wanting to see the duo in action some more

If you want to see my view on the franchise - you're welcome to read my review of the first part here: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198014150309/recommended/415610?snr=1_5_9__402 Of the 3 games of the series found on Steam (out of total ~10 games released), the 3rd game is the longest. And is probably most suited for a western audience. Originally, when released in Russia, this game was considered not as good as games 1 and 2 in the series, and I can see why. This game both changes the graphics somewhat, and the Russian language humor is just not as good. However, for a western audience, I believe this game would be the best in the trilogy. The plot happens almost entirely in the US. It contains many references to various 1990s western pop culture icons. And the humor, while being less tailored for the Russian audience. Feels aimed more at a western/international audience. The entire game feels like it was meant for a worldwide distribution (while the first 2 games, feel made especially for a local Russian audience). As opposed to the first 2 games - this games is about Russian emigres in the US. (and not about Russians per se)

I got this game about ten years ago and I really liked it. I bought it in steam. However, they say that this game is considered the best of the domestic series of quests. The plot is also very interesting. Once again, two of the coolest characters in this series of games, without exaggeration, save the world. The game itself is suitable not only for fans of the series of games about Pet'ka and Vasily Ivanovich, but also, in principle, for every person who is at least a little interested in computer games. Once again, the plot is very cool, it captures so much that it is impossible to break away from the game!! I also like the Humor in the game, which is unlike any other in similar games. Here, the creators apparently tried very hard. The difficulty of the game, in comparison with the previous parts, seemed higher to me. I was sitting on duty over some moments in the game, I was almost tempted to watch the passage on the Internet))) In general, there are a lot of impressions, when I have free time, I will definitely still play. It is always exciting that this is not only an interesting game, but also a fascinating story of your favorite characters. ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ ██████▀░░░░░░░░▀████████▀▀░░░░░░░▀██████ ████▀░░░░░░░░░░░░▀████▀░░░░░░░░░░░░▀████ ██▀░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▀▀░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▀██ ██░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▄▄░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░██ ██░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█░█░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░██ ██░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▄▀░█░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░██ ██░░░░░░░░░░████▄▄▄▀░░▀▀▀▀▄░░░░░░░░░░░██ ██▄░░░░░░░░░████░░░░░░░░░░█░░░░░░░░░░▄██ ████▄░░░░░░░████░░░░░░░░░░█░░░░░░░░▄████ ██████▄░░░░░████▄▄▄░░░░░░░█░░░░░░▄██████ ████████▄░░░▀▀▀▀░░░▀▀▀▀▀▀▀░░░░░▄████████ ██████████▄░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▄██████████ ████████████▄░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▄████████████ ██████████████▄░░░░░░░░░░▄██████████████ ████████████████▄░░░░░░▄████████████████ ██████████████████▄▄▄▄██████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████

"Red Comrades 3: Return of Alaska. Reloaded" is the third in an inexplicably almost popular Russian point and click adventure series. The theme is comedy and satire, this installment in the series lambasts The X-Files and other actually popular tropes. Gameplay consists of point and clicking your way through various bizarre situations, solving puzzles with absurd combinations not unlike (and thematically ripped off from) games like Monkey Island (who can forget the rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle?). Unfortunately this Russian "me too" attempt to break into the obsolete point and click genre (in 2017) doesn't come close to the classics like Day of the Tentacle (but costs more than those games). This game has been translated from some other language into English... badly. If this was done through Google Translate, Google Translate should feel ashamed of itself. Regardless, the language in this game is broken and will put off a lot of gamers. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The 2D cartoony graphics aren't the worst but they're not winning any awards, either. It comes across as low budget, but at least it's not pixel art? Regardless, there's nothing backing the game to make up for the lazy approach to the visuals. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? "Red Comrades 3: Return of Alaska. Reloaded" has the laughable, eye-watering price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. For comparison, the $5 asking price for this game could get you games like "Mass Effect 3", "Borderlands 2" or "Batman: Arkham Origins". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

[h1]The 3rd and final (on Steam) game about some russian dudes wrecking havoc[/h1] And believe me - you dont wanna play any more of those. Trust. We now move to USA of the 90's We're tasked with Alaska "saving" Get ready for some cruel jokes, weird characters, tons of quite hard puzzles, barely any censorship and so on. Its a lot to tell about this game to be frank Its definetely the weirdest one and I think I'll just leave this to you to figure the game out. If you'll manage first couple of hours...I think you'd be good with the rest of the game. But my god, the controls and some of the puzzles...its just not right to do that to the player.

It's not a bad game, much better than the second part, but not great either, I feel like at some places it was a cent short of a dollar, and some non game breaking bugs were left in the game. With some places the puzzles made sense but even when you figure out the solution there was an iillogical way to actually apply it, for example [spoiler] the puzzle with the magnet where you had to shoot it with the bazooka, clicking on the magnet with the bazooka didn't work, yo had to click with the bazooka on one of the players in the room with the magnet [/spoiler] And some puzzles made no sense at all, like the way you had to get rid of the dog. The part where you play with Anka is very short and poorly developed, almost no dialogue, and every time you click on something she makes this movement before saying some generic comment. Its also very short, yet through the whole game you have a portrait of her in the upper right corner as if she is part of the main gameplay. In the first game the part with Anka was much better. Some of the dialogue in the game was also very repetitive, like Chepayev always threatening Petka to put him against the wall or telling him that he will send him to Academy once its all over, Overall the game had some very good parts too, especially the part with the army, some funny jokes, good graphics and a decent story, its definitely worth $5 , but I would much rather they give the game another couple of weeks for polishing and QA and charge $10. I know this game is a remake and probably follows the original, but I still think they could've taken care of some issues.
