VAPORUM VIDEO REVIEW PC

Positioning is important as you can face any of the four sides of your current space. When moving you and enemies will move between grid spaces. Basically the entire world is built around a grid. Vaporum: Lockdown is best described as a grid-based dungeon crawler RPG. With that out of the way, lets talk about the game for those who never played the original game. If you didn’t really like the original though, I don’t think Vaporum: Lockdown will change your mind. If you liked the original game, I see no reason why you wouldn’t like the prequel as well. Therefore your opinion of the original game will likely translate to Vaporum: Lockdown. Otherwise the combat and other gameplay is mostly the same.

Towards the end of the game there are quite a few puzzles, and some of these can be kind of hard to solve. The main difference between the two games is just that the prequel has a greater emphasis on puzzles than the first game. This is mostly due to the gameplay remaining mostly the same outside of some minor changes. Those who played the first game should already have a very good idea of what to expect from the game. Can Ellie survive long enough to find a way out of the tower?įor the most part Vaporum: Lockdown is what you would expect from a sequel/prequel. During routine tests something goes wrong as drones and other threats start attacking the researchers. Ellie is recruited to a mysterious scientific project in the middle of the ocean researching a new energy source. Vaporum: Lockdown follows the story of Ellie Teller. While Vaporum: Lockdown sticks pretty close to the original game, it does a good job maintaining the same great gameplay and atmosphere. Last week the game made its way to Nintendo Switch giving me a good opportunity to check it out.

With the success of the original game, a prequel called Vaporum: Lockdown was released on PC last September. I think one of the main reasons that the game succeeded was because it did a good job taking an older video game genre and adapting it to current times as well as adding in a cool steampunk theme.

While I hadn’t played a lot of games in the grid-based dungeon crawler RPG genre, I really enjoyed the game. Around two years ago I took a look at Vaporum.
