Desolate

Mechanics

Events in Desolate are presented from a first-person perspective. The players can explore a vast, open world filled with abandoned settlements, secret research facilities and military bases. During the game the protagonist must face various threats – mutants with paranormal abilities, men, anomalies that can impact the mind of the untrained Volunteer.

Luckily, the protagonist isn’t left without any weapons – the developers created various melee weapons and guns. As the players progresses in the game, new abilities are unlocked (and then improved), increasing player’s chances for survival. Despite that, frequently the best solution is to hide in the shadows and move behind opponent’s backs or to eliminate them from surprise. The game features an advanced crafting system – based on recipes and supplies gained during the game the players can modify their equipment and create new items.

Game modes

Although Desolate can be played alone, the game becomes more interesting when played with three other players in the cooperation multiplayer mode.

Technical aspects

Desolate features decent quality graphics – the grim colors are building the atmosphere of the title, just as the dark soundtrack.
