Has anyone heard of this game? It's a Ukrainian FPS-RPG hybrid in a weird sci-fi setting. Apparently it was Starforce (DRM) though and the English voice overs are terrible.

Any thoughts?

Yeah apparently you can also pilot space ships in it. Looks amazing.

Actually it was developed by Ukrainian studio and published by Russian publisher. Not that it matters, because it should've had a sequel, but devs bit more than they could chew with this one.

Oh right, I'll change my opening post. I wonder did any of the STALKER devs have anything to do with it?

yes :) Deep Shadows studio was founded by devs from GSC (stalker dev studio)

It's not that good, but GamersGate has it.
They also have Xenus 2: White Gold from the same developers and the sequel to Boiling Point: Road to Hell which has one of the more interesting patch notes.
They're all wildly ambitious games that unfortunately fall flat, still very interesting though.

I heard Precursors is a good game but kind of unfinished.

I have it on Gamersgate (also have Xenus 2), but i haven't played it yet. From what i read back there when i purchased it, it's a pretty unique game unlike anything out there, but it's really buggy.

And the sequel? Isn't Xenus 2 the sequel to Boiling Point?

I actually played Boiling Point when it was released, but i couldn't play it properly because the game was buggy as fuck and it ran like shit on my PC. I had 512MB of RAM back then, and even with all the settings turned down to low, i would still get tons of memory swaps, which made the game unplayable.

Yes, White Gold is Xenus 2; Boiling Point: Road to Hell was released as Xenus: Boiling Point in the Ukraine and Russia.

White Gold and Precursors share the same engine and FPS-RPG hybrid gameplay.

Yes, that is literally what I said.

I got it from GamersGate and the game lacks polish (sound effects are missing, wrong text gets displayed, those kinds of things). Otherwise it's functional. The other issue is the game design. You get injured in your legs and the character moves slowly or practically stops in place, which can be frustrating if you have nothing to heal with. The interface is not exactly intuitive. Due to mistranslations / missing text it can be hard to find your way around or know what you're supposed to do. It's more polished than Xenus 2, but it's not as polished as Boiling Point, but from what I played it was at least more stable.

Does the Gamersgate version includes the community patch and/or the fan-made voice-overs?
