About the game
This project was released on computer screens in the spring of April 28, 2015. The famous Tim Scheifer and his team of publishers Full Throttle and Grim Fandango were able to find about 3 million dollars for development and turn the idea into a good cartoon game. The basis of this development is the traditional quest system and fresh graphics. The plot of this wonderful illustrated project tells the story of a boy living in space on a special shuttle under the supervision of computers.
Also among the main characters is a girl, where the inhabitants of one village chose her as a sacrifice in the game Broken Age. The passage will be accompanied by voicing of characters in famous voices: Jack Black and Elijah Wood.
Plot
At first glance, the game tells about two different unrelated different stories. It only at first glance it seems that these stories do not intersect with each other, but with the course of development of actions you can understand that everything is twisted here, as in the coolest blockbuster. Both characters in this game are teenagers. Girl Vella became "lucky", she was chosen as a sacrifice to an alien monster. Resigned to the outcome of the events, Vella somehow gets out of the monster Mot Chotra and becomes the owner of the greatest number of problems.
Boy story
At this time, a boy named Shai is growing and “wising” on board the spacecraft. His whole company is computers that constantly surround the main character. They give the boy the same tasks every day, and when Shay once breaks out of this routine, he realizes that the real world is not on this ship in the game Broken Age. Passage in this project will be carried out from two persons. Whom the participant chooses at the very beginning, for that he will complete quests.
Walkthrough Broken Age
Even such a funny and seemingly simple development can cause a lot of difficulties about how and what to do in it. The peculiarity of this game is that any action is a click. It is created on the basis of point-and-click-model - the classic version of the game. The character needs to walk around the game world, collect items and use them for their intended purpose. At the same time, there are no unnecessary tools in the arsenal - all of them will definitely be useful in Broken Age. The passage for Shai is quite interesting, it begins with a conversation with his robot father. Immediately after this, the character must be sent to the dead boy so that he can be cured at the right time.
After long conversations, you will need to go to the volcano and start the discussion again, but with Alex, who will give impetus to the search. He will show Neck a diagram of the device that needs to be found in the game world. To find this detail, you need to meet with each inhabitant of this world and even go down to a fantastic land, where you will again have to talk to everyone, give some objects in exchange for the details of the scheme.
Shay in search of items
All actions in this game are a search for objects and their correct use, which guarantees complete passage. Broken Age: Act is a series of long and small missions. The outcome of the game depends on the implementation of each of them. So, after Shay finds that same computer device in the hollow of one tree, he should return to Alex on the ship. After this meeting, you will have to sidestep the big guy who looked askance at you. After that, you will need to take money from one boy and buy a pie for them. You will have to do a lot of different things in the store, but small tips will help you understand what you need to use.
Shay's task is to repair the robot, and the last thing that needs to be done in the game as a boy is to repair part of the ship, bring the drones to the harp and turn on the electricity. This ends the role of a teenager, and now the participant begins the game for Vella. Broken Age: Act takes the player immediately to another dimension, where the measured and happy life of the village passes.
What do you need to do with Vella?
As mentioned earlier, this game is the constant execution of tasks, or rather, "find and give." Therefore, the first thing that Velle needs to do is to learn about the terrible story of a talking knife in Broken Age: Act 2. The passage here begins with the search for a broken helmet and its use in the hatch. After this scheme, the girl will receive a piece of a strange pipe that needs to be connected on the left device. And it needs to be folded so that the "panel 36" is clearly displayed.
By repeating the movement of the hatch and using the knife, it will be possible to collect all parts of the pipe, after which the anti-gravity mode will turn on, here you just need the rope and helmet soaring in the air. In the air you need to catch a gravity boot and then it is in this shoe that you continue exploring the world, going down the hatch down. We’ll have to talk to everyone who gets in the way, give some items in return for information and even fulfill requests - if only they would let us go further in the world of Broken Age: Act 2. Further passage will not be very different from what the participant saw earlier, you still need to chat with someone and look for objects.
We continue the way
We'll have to go to the museum, look for a second portal there. Somehow you need to come to Vella's mother and say that she is Shay. You need to prove this by answering questions. After that, the player learns that the boy’s parents are not robots at all, and you will also fix the ship. In this case, you will use the “pout boy” for all these dialogs so that mom will not suspect anything. The end of the game is identical, you also need to connect the threads in the broken part of the ship and notify Shai about his family. You also need to expose the villain and return to the work of the drone. Thus ends in the game Broken Age 2 walkthrough.
Details
But at first glance, everything is confusing and incomprehensible, in fact, any actions are quite logical in Broken Age: Act 2. The step-by-step, linear walkthrough, you do not need to rack your brains, as someone will tell you what needs to be done. The only thing that will be confusing at first is the presence of some very strange movements. It seems that all the actions are done in one click, and getting lost in the game world is very easy. It is also important to note the huge number of dialogs, the reading of which will depend on whether you can complete the next task.
The game itself is oversaturated with quests, there is not a minute of free time to be distracted by a simple exploration of the world. This, probably, for many will be an interesting passage in Broken Age. Act 2 is just that part of the game, which is moving towards a denouement. All actions at this stage will take place on a spaceship, and by their logic they are quite confusing. More than once you have to make a mistake before moving on.
What do the participants say?
In general, if we consider this project as entertainment for children or adolescents, then the development is pretty good. Participants of this game note that the most positive moment in it is hand-drawn graphics. Indeed, to meet such developments in the entire media space is a real find. Here, the characters are beautiful, and an interesting walkthrough of the game. Broken Age: Act 2 offers a large number of tasks, and the child will take quite a few hours to complete all the quests. Naturally, we are not talking about professional gamers. For them, this game will seem too simple, they will pass it in 30 minutes.
But what the participants still note is a fun course of action. Sometimes you need to do something that never comes to mind. In this project, any laws of physics and gravity are violated, so if a participant wants to try himself in a new role, to be in a fantasy world, then it is worth starting this game. Everything is so strange here that the eyes of an adult can reach his forehead. People in the shape of ice cream; trees reaching for clouds; live eggs that hatch with just one touch ... In general, this project is ideal for dreamy and creative people.
The opinion of critics
As for the professionals in the media industry and what they think about this game, one trend can be seen. Adult critics considered this project underdeveloped or even “worthless”. In their opinion, spending more than $ 3 million on childish pranks is stupid. But this opinion is a purely small part of critics. The other half believes that the project turned out to be quite successful for the genre of quests and is perfect for children. By the way, and adults are not averse to plunge into this fantastic world - all too gray and monotonous in reality. Do not be surprised if suddenly an adult man decides to try this game - it really is funny, especially in its graphic component.
In general, this project turned out to be very successful. It has no lags, it works great from a technical point of view. Yes, the quests in the game are extremely stupid, but why should they be absent, because this is an already creative and creative project with its own highlights.
As participants, critics note, this development is unique to its genre. The game is beautiful, accurate and has one idea - how to deal with the feelings and problems of adolescents. From the plot of this project you can understand and feel all the experiences of the characters, spend your free time is really interesting and unusual.
