Complete English hand-translation of the story mod "Another Zone Mod".
Another Zone Mod is a good Misery styled mod, which tries to incorporate mechanics to lenghten the progression to hopefully match your length of story which for me took over four and a half to five hours, which is an incredible rarity.
It doesn't put it's hand and control the enconomy like a mean father, and is quite generous with resources, the money sink this time is an artifact upgrade system. The way it works is simple, all you do is pay a big sum for a schematic and then use the UI to upgrade it progressively up to lvl3, which works in it's favour has it doesnt take away from the short story and thus lend attention to the star of the show the stories in the mod.
The story is quite nice, it is a short and well written common story that is interwoven with more interesting but less developed miniquests that have you run around everywhere, the density of content in the mod really made it in this context as there was never a second where I wasnt doing something for someone, and I only got around to completing around 90% of the content.
I recommend it to anyone who wants an interesting and short experience that still retains an interesting gameplay aspect.
Plus :
1. Cool new mechanic like cooking and artifact upgrades
2. The Side quest is quite interesting
3. Purple-esque beautiful visual and weather
Minus :
1. The new mechanic doesn't felt that good, you just click on stuff without any pre requirement except the recipe, and the animation that start when you are doing upgrades or cooking are annoying.
2. The main story isn't interesting as the side quests, especially towards the end, it felt so rushed that there's barely anything to do in the last map, and the amount of backtracking is terrible.
It is interesting mod with good hand translation. Try it out.
A descent short story and no crashes.
Positives.
-It's Stalker.
Negatives.
-Literally Misery Lite mixed with Swartz.
-Enemies drop 1 bullet of each kind for some reason. Kinda lazy ngl.
-Annoying heartbeat in background ambience.
cool
Looked the same as the 1st & 2nd Stalker games. Old skins, nothing new. Some of the game play was the same as one of the first two games. Had a bug where you could not talk to the stalker boss highlighted in the HUD with the yellow marker, this stopped game play.
Some visual bugs (like pseudodogs distant textures or r4 agroprom underground ctd) but a good storyline / set of quests.
Good translation too.
Great mod,atmospheric,stable and good translation, also love cordon's ambient track.
very stable
