Mutant Year Zero Road to Eden Free Download Unfitgirl Much like its half-human, half-animal protagonists, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a hybrid. It looks to push the grid-based tactics of games like XCOM 2 and Phantom Doctrine to their next logical step by incorporating stealth and pre-fight planning into the experience. Unlike its counterparts, however, Mutant Year Zero deftly cuts some of the strategy game abstraction by alternating between exploring areas in real-time and the familiar tactical combat that you probably already know and love. The result distills the essence of turn-based strategy games that have come before into something more intense. While it has an RPG-style progression, Mutant Year Zero is truly a series of tactical exercises. Having the right gear, the right plan and, honestly, the right luck all matter far more than your level or your opponents’. It’s tough, cerebral, and if you’re willing to learn how to play its way, pretty damn satisfying.Adapted from a 2014 Swedish pen-and-paper RPG, Mutant Year Zero puts you into an interesting, albeit cliché, post-apocalypse where most of humanity has died, and the world has become a gigantic ruin. You control a squad of mutant stalkers — modified humans with special powers who are tough enough to scavenge “the zone,” as it’s called, for supplies to support a settlement of human survivors called the Ark. Despite the fact that it pulls from a world with plenty of source material — Mutant Year Zero, the RPG, is a prequel to the long-running Mutant franchise — Road to Eden does not do much with its aesthetically interesting world.

Don’t get me wrong: There’s a ton of world-building — exposition extolled through in-game dialogue and non-animated cutscenes, text, and audio diaries strewn about the world — but it mostly helps advance Mutant Year Zero’s Horizon: Zero Dawn-style unraveling of how humanity destroyed itself. That story, sadly, never feels vital, even when it becomes tied to your squad’s own mission. It’s a grab bag of society crumbling clichés. I haven’t spent any time with the original pen-and-paper game, so I can’t speak to whether or not it’s successful as an act of fan service, but Road to Eden’s repetitive overgrown scrapyards, cannibal marauders and rogue robots feel like a fairly bland version of the Mutant mythos relative to what fans have been imagining for years. There is a kernel of interesting storytelling and design in your squad, the Mutants. Your interesting characters like Dux, the smart-aleck half-man, half-Mallard; and Farrow, a tough half-woman half-fox with a British accent; drew me in even with limited speaking time and only a broad backstory to flesh them out. I would have loved to know more about the mutants and seen more characters like them, but what’s there was enough to keep me in sync with the story the whole way through. You spend most of Mutant Year Zero exploring various portions of “the zone,” figuring out how to sneak past groups of enemies, or sneaking around to get the jump on them. The world is broken up into large areas (in any other game I’d call them zones). Your squad of up to three characters roams large swaths of old ruins.

Mutant Year Zero Road to Eden Tactical Combat.

Searching for scrap to trade and keeping an eye out for anything that might want to fight. Though it feels simple and intuitive, the stealth gameplay feels far more versatile than what you’d expect from an RPG. You can alternate between walking with a flashlight, which lets you see further but also draws more attention, and sneaking, which keeps you hidden but opens the door for you to bump into things. If you’re close to getting seen, you can hide at any cover point, such as a tree or a wall, and enemies won’t see even if they walk right next to you. This becomes crucial when you’re setting up an ambush. With the push a button, your squad of three can split up, allowing you to move each character individually. From there, you can hide them in the best positions to surround a group while maximizing each character’s unique skills. This two-stage system — real-time stealth, followed by turn-based combat — makes setting up combat scenarios easier and quicker than games like Phantom Doctrine and XCOM 2, where you may spend multiple turns edging up to enemy territory. It just feels natural. Planning for a big fight starts even before you put your team into place, though. You are almost always outnumbered and outgunned, so figuring out how to dismantle a group takes quite a bit of cunning. The areas are large, so if you take your time, and scope out enemy patrol patterns, you can often isolate a single enemy or pockets of them away from the main group.MORDHAU

To clear out any area, you need plans on plans on plans. You also need some luck. The moment you fire a gun, enemies within a certain range will hear you. That range is not always entirely clear, so there is a bit of guesswork involved. There are awareness indicators when you’re in stealth mode, so it’s not hard to avoid detection before combat starts, but you do not get indicators as to how far the sound of your gunshots travels. Over time, you develop a feel for it, but you’re also going to do a lot of saving and reloading when you wind up accidentally picking a fight you can’t win. It’s hard to overstate how much stealth factors into every encounter. Though combat is Mutant Year Zero’s main draw, you are rarely forced into big battles. In most areas, your goal is to simply reach the entrance to the next location. If you skip combat, you won’t get the gear you need to take down enemies further down the line, but if you don’t see a way to beat a group, you can often get around them and come back, preferably when you have better gear and abilities. When you finally pull the trigger and start a big fight — which is any encounter with more than two guys — you’d better know how you’re going to win it. In keeping with its survivalist post-apocalyptic motif, resources are scarce and life is fleeting. Even Bormin, your half-boar “tank” character, can’t take more than three strong hits, so you need to finish fights fast. Like XCOM 2, every character gets two actions per turn, and it’s important that you use as many of those actions as possible to do damage or impede your opponents’ ability to fight back. Each of your team members gets two active abilities and a passive perk called mutations, which push them into different specialties.

EXPLORE A POST-HUMAN EARTH.

Some of them, like the “run and gun” ability that lets you move twice and then shoot, will feel familiar to XCOM fans. Other options, like the ability to give a character “moth wings” that lets them shoot from the air and then land in a high position, feel unique. When armed with mutations and equipment that complement each other, an efficient three-mutant team can mow through a group of 3-5 enemies in just a few turns. Efficiency is important, though, because you will probably lose a drawn out gunfight. Mutant Year Zero took me by surprise. When you tap the space bar to switch from the real-time exploration mode to the turn-based tactical mode, it’s not considered activating combat. You’re not entering into battle. The word “Fight!” doesn’t leap out of the centre of the screen. Instead, the space bar is labeled “Ambush” and, while pressing it does indeed initiate a turn-based XCOM-style encounter, the semantics make all the difference. Road to Eden is all about using stealth to thoroughly scout dangers ahead, then applying that knowledge to maneuver your squad into position for the perfect ambush. Do your research and plan well, and you can take out your target without them (or their cohorts) even realizing what has happened. Proceed without caution and you’ll soon be bleeding out, your impatience severely punished. Approached properly, Mutant Year Zero isn’t a difficult game; it’s a tight, cohesive tactical masterclass that rewards the diligent player. Road to Eden depicts a post-apocalyptic Scandinavia where resources are scarce and knowledge of what the world used to be is even harder to come by.Len’s Island

Stalkers are sent from the Ark, one of the few remaining hubs of human civilization, into the Zone to scavenge for scrap and fend off the bandits, ghouls, feral dogs and worse that now occupy the ruined towns and suburbs. Everyone, even those safe in the Ark, has been touched by mutation. But Dux and Bormin, the two starting playable stalkers, are different; they’re mutated animals, a duck and a boar, respectively. At first glance, there’s a lot you can do to customize each stalker and gear them up to specialize in certain fields, letting you mix and match your active squad based on the task at hand. The limited number of weapons and sheer expense of upgrades means you’re forced to make tough choices. Should you spend literally all your weapon parts on the close-quarters effectiveness of Bormin’s scattergun, or are you better served improving the ranged potency of Dux’s crossbow? You can only afford one right now and, since there’s no capacity for grinding, it may be some time before you can afford the other. Sometimes the decisions are easier. Up against robots? You’ll want at least one stalker, probably two, with an effective EMP attack. Up against dogs? You’ll want at least one stalker, probably two, with crowd control abilities to prevent their melee rush. If you’ve done your scouting properly, you’ll know what’s coming and know which stalkers to swap in and out before you tap that spacebar. But don’t tap that spacebar just yet. You’re not quite ready. The Zone is divided into a couple dozen maps networked across southwest Sweden. They’re not especially large–bigger than an XCOM map, but hardly sprawling–and typically centered on an identifiable feature: a scrapyard, a school, a subway station, a fast food restaurant, and so on.

CONTROL A TEAM OF MUTANTS.

When you first enter an area you’re in exploration mode and free to walk around in real time. When you spot an enemy you can enter stealth mode by switching off your flashlight, thus slightly reducing your visibility but also greatly reducing the distance at which the enemy will spot you. You’re still moving around in real time, just slower and more discreetly. The tension is ratcheted up during this pre-combat exploration phase, as you’re tip-toeing into hostile territory, identifying how many enemies await you, what types they are, what levels they are, whether they’re patrolling, where those patrol routes take them, where their vision cones intersect, and so on. You’ve noticed one enemy’s patrol route takes him away from the others. You hit F to split up your party and guide them individually into position. Bormin has his back to a tree, Dux is on the roof of a nearby building, and Selma is crouched behind a rock at the end of the unsuspecting enemy’s patrol route. He’s there now. Time to hit the spacebar. It’s all about the ambush. It’s about analyzing each scenario in the exploration phase and identifying which enemies you can eliminate, one by one, without alerting others. But pulling off a series of clean hits isn’t always possible. Inevitably something will go wrong–you’ll miss that 75% chance shot you were counting on or fail to do quite enough damage before the enemy gets its turn and calls out for reinforcements–and suddenly the whole area is on alert and you’re scrambling to improvise a new plan. In these moments of high chaos, when the rug is pulled out from under you, this is where the game really shines.

The tactical combat engine borrows a lot from Firaxis’ revival of XCOM and offers as much depth alongside a presentation that ensures all critical information is clearly communicated at all times. And you need to be well-informed, because most of the time–outside of the odd simple skirmish that introduces a new element–there’s an awful lot to think about. Enemy variety is key; there are basic brutes who charge you in melee, snipers who hunker down on overwatch, shamen who can call in reinforcements, and medbots who can revive enemies, pyros who flush you out with molotovs, and that’s just the early stages. Later, there are high-HP tanks who can ram your cover, priests who can buff fellow enemies or deliver chain lightning attacks, giant dogs who can knock you over and maul you for multiple turns, while others possess mind control powers and more. Tackling groups of enemies drawn from several of these types can be hugely challenging, even when you’ve culled their numbers with some decisive early stealth takedowns. The stakes are high, especially on the harder difficulty settings. Your stalkers’ health will be measured in single and low-double digits for much of the game, meaning it only takes a couple of direct hits to put them down. Similarly, your weapons can only fire once, twice, or if you’re lucky, three times before you need to use up valuable action points to reload. These limited resources echo the post-apocalyptic themes of scarcity and survival while also raising moment-to-moment tactical considerations in combat. While Mutant Year Zero shares a whole lot of DNA with XCOM, it’s something all its own.

The basics are the same: there’s turn-based combat, a tactical grid, a cover system, and characters that can bleed out. Even the unforgiving Ironman mode is present. The most significant difference you’ll notice once you’re set free in the world of Mutant Year Zero is that you’re exploring in entirely in real time with a squad of up to three characters. You explore The Zone, the stereotypical bombed-out post-apocalyptic setting of our game like you’re exploring a dungeon in Diablo up until you enter a conflict. At this point, you transition into full-on turn-based combat. The smaller squad size means that stealth and ambush tactics are your best friends. Running in guns blazing is a surefire way to get put down real quick. Instead, you’ll want to split up your squad and have them all hide from the enemies with a clear line of sight. Once you’ve isolated one or two foes, that’s when you rush to pick them off a few at a time. Just separating your enemies isn’t quite enough to ensure victory either. Loud weapons like machine guns and rifles are sure to attract attention, so before a huge fight breaks out, you’ll want to start with silenced weapons like Dux’ crossbow. It’s also worth noting that if the enemy you’re abusing gets a turn, they’ll yell for their buddies, so it’s unwise to start a fight you can’t finish quickly. It’s moments like this that make Mutant Year Zero so intense. Your silenced pistol doesn’t exactly pack enough power to put down that colossal ghoul quickly, but the sound of your shotgun will definitely alert his buddies. One wrong move can spell certain doom and I’m not ashamed to admit I was saving early and often. It takes the right amount of prep, positioning, and just plain luck to come out on top here. It takes a while to learn your squad’s strengths. You need to be sure you can hold your ground against the area’s remaining foes before making yourself known.Bloody Spell
