The Rust game, an overview of which is presented in this article, was developed by the English company Facepunch Studios. The basis was the Source engine. The appearance of the game was influenced by projects such as Stalker and DayZ. The first versions were significantly different from what is presented in the game today. Only thanks to many improvements and additions in the game there was a huge set of opportunities.
Background
December 11, 2013 is the date Rust appeared. A review of the game should begin at this point. Initially, no one had high hopes for Rust. However, two weeks later, the number of sold copies of the games exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand, which indicates great popularity among gamers.
After only a year, namely, in January 2014, Rust was the best-selling game. A review of it at that moment could be found on almost all game resources. February of that year was the moment when the number of sales exceeded one million units.
The game was created by the same studio that developed the famous Garry's Mod. Those who are familiar with him know that he has a huge game variety. The game owes an abundance of all sorts of modes, first of all, to the head of Facepunch Studios, Harry Newman. Thanks to his love of diversity in Rust, an overview of which is presented in the article, there are a huge number of objects with excellent detail. In addition, the game is not deprived of regular additions and improvements that make a lot of innovations in the gameplay.
Separation
As mentioned above, the development studio is very scrupulous about its product, which led to the emergence of two projects - Rust and Rust Experimental. An overview of this branch is also presented in the article. The division was due to the fact that the company considered the game code to be imperfect, and soon it was decided to create another parallel project.
Shortly after the release of Experimental, the gaming community shared. After all, they faced two completely different products that have the same name - Rust. A review of the game in Russian has become even more relevant, as many gamers wanted to know the differences.
Initially, the branch was not perceived by the players as a full game. Rather, it was considered a test project by developers.
Many gamers felt that creating a completely new project is pointless. Rust was a good game that needed to get rid of cheaters and improve graphics. However, after about two years, when Experimental received significant improvements, gamers began to relate to it much better, and many completely abandoned the original Rust.
Development
Over time, the first project completely turned into Rust Legacy. The review of the game continues from the moment when the original Rust almost completely stopped updating and was abandoned by many gamers.
However, a few flattering words about Rust Legacy should be said. The game has an amazing atmosphere and excellent mechanics. Meanwhile, Experimental is endowed with more beautiful graphics and detail of every little thing. When reviewing the game Rust, one can not help but say that its development and improvement is still taking place. Developers regularly release updates that bring improvements to every minor part of the game.
Game process
So, having considered the main points of the appearance and development of Rust, we will go directly to the gameplay. The main task for the gamer is to survive. The game starts with a minimal set of items in a backpack. Other resources will have to be obtained on their own. In order not to starve to death, it is necessary to hunt, and for the construction of a dwelling - to do tree hunting.
Of course, the game is more interesting and more fun (and easier) to play with friends. A group is much easier to fight off enemies and get food.
The player will have to constantly struggle with various difficulties - hunger, radiation, attacks of people and animals and so on.
At the very beginning of the game, the gamer gets the opportunity to create only the most necessary items. To get new skills to create, you will have to kill animals, as well as check chests.
Survival
In the daytime, the player has nothing to fear, and you can freely explore the area and get resources. In principle, this process is very similar to the popular Minecraft game. It is better to wait out the dark time in a safe place. With the onset of night, zombies begin to roam, and it is very difficult to get any resources. Moreover, you can see at a distance no further than a meter. However, if you find yourself in the dark, do not despair. In the inventory there is a torch that will light the way.
The game has various factors that affect the character's condition. Avoiding radiation and cold is simple enough, but it is difficult to fight hunger. Have to constantly hunt and get food. When reaching a critical level of hunger, the character will die.
Crafting
In the game, it is represented quite diverse. You can create a lot of different things, from home items to weapons. In the first stages of the game it will be quite difficult. However, when the player has the most necessary tools - an ax, a pickaxe and so on - it becomes much easier.
Resources in Rust are limited. For example, a character cannot get more than nine boards from a tree. In general, the extraction of wood often turns into a rather difficult task. Sometimes the player is lucky, and he finds himself in the forest more often, and sometimes in the desert, where there are practically no trees. Stone is much easier to find. It comes across almost everywhere, but a pick is needed to get it.
Other resources are less common, and for their extraction often need to use additional tools. In this case, you often have to compete for rare items with other players.
