That’s a shame, because it boasts a menagerie of talent including Shinji Hashimoto, Takayuki Yanase, Toshifumi Nabeshima, and Yoji Shinkawa, names any fan of Armored Core, Final Fantasy, Xenoblade, Front Mission, or Metal Gear should recognize. The game is early in development but it doesn’t just look unfinished, it looks uninspired. Alternatively, you can take down the attackers, though doing so can be costly to your ammo supply as enemies are remarkably spongy.Įveryone you save comes back in the game’s ending, but they won't help you out in the interim, so the decision to save anyone seems to rest on the player’s own moral fulcrum and curiosity about how the endings may change, rather than the promise of extrinsic rewards. A group of survivors are being mugged off in the distance and you can choose to give the altercation a wide berth, which may be preferable given that supplies are scarce. Instead of being based on dialogue trees, these moments will hinge on the actions you choose to take, or not to take. Later, the second type of decision-making scenario plays out. The scenario ends with the daughter following you and the dad staying behind waiting for the military to swoop in and save him.Įverything that I saw makes Left Alive look uninspired. The dialogue doesn’t do much to bolster confidence. “Stay here and die like your dopey dada,” the protagonist says in a gruff deadpan. Eventually, the player is given the choice to give the daughter a hard dose of reality, and that’s where another issue surfaces. A choice is given to try to talk sense into the daughter or speak directly to her dad. The pair, a dad and his adult daughter, are reluctant to follow the player to shelter. We were shown a scene in which one of the male protagonists-featured in Yoji Shinkawa’s consistently striking art-comes across two fleeing refugees. What we know for sure is that Left Alive will feature multiple endings, and you have a number of ways to go about making ending-altering decisions. First, there are branching dialogue-based choices.
Starting the game with nothing and have to forage for gear may add to the tension, but the shooting that was shown to us seemed neither fresh nor appealing. The three playable protagonists are caught unaware and thus have to scavenge for their supplies. Details about the story were scarce, and all we know for now is that the plot kicks off with a surprise attack from an invading nation.
