For many computer games, users release special modifications that in one way or another change this project. Mods can change the appearance of the game, some of its functions, tasks in it, objects, characters and much more. It all depends on what the goal of the modโs creator is. It is unlikely that you can find a game for which more modifications would be made in the post-Soviet space than for Stalker. This project turned out to be so successful, as well as so accessible in terms of changes, that fans have already managed to write dozens of modifications, each of which is better than the other. Some of them change the storyline, some just add new side quests, others offer you a richer assortment of items and weapons. In general, if you want to get a new experience from the โStalkerโ, then you will have plenty to choose from. But now we will talk about a specific modification - "Stalker: Spatial Anomaly." Passing this mod will not take you very long compared to the original game, but you will get a lot of pleasure from the process.
Original game
In the original Stalker game, you had to play the role of one of the stalkers who needed to unravel the secret of the Zone, while performing other tasks, saving their friends, neutralizing enemies and much more. We can say that the original is not much like the mod "Stalker: Spatial Anomaly." Passage is very different, and the differences are not only in duration, but also in the very essence of the game, the game process, even in locations. So do not think that this modification is cosmetic or just adds a couple of types of weapons - in fact this is a new game, a new storyline that you will definitely be interested in going through, its quality is not in doubt. However, as well as the quality of the modification "Stalker: Spatial Anomaly", the passage of which will be described later.
What has changed in fashion?
As already mentioned, the changes affected almost all aspects, so that you will see something completely new, built on the basis of the familiar game. The most important thing that has changed is the storyline, it has become completely new in the Stalker: Spatial Anomaly fashion. Passing now will take you only a few hours, since the game has only sixteen quests. But at the same time, we can safely say that these moments will be incredibly exciting, and it would be better to have several hours of concentrated pleasure than more than one day of prolonged and boring gameplay. It is also worth noting a change of scenery - almost all the previous locations remained in the game, but nothing special happened on them. For you, two gaming locations are important, which have been replaced by completely new ones, which are the same Spatial Anomaly that you have to deal with. It is on this that the passage of the game "Stalker: Spatial Anomaly" will be built.
The beginning of the passage
So, in this modification, you act as a mercenary nicknamed the Beast, who finds himself in the center of an incomprehensible Spatial Anomaly, from which he, naturally, cannot wait to get out. But to do this, of course, is not as easy as we would like, otherwise the passage of the game "Stalker: Spatial Anomaly" would be very short. In parallel, you will have to perform many different actions that will affect the success of your task, so try to do everything as carefully and efficiently as possible. This Stalker Mod is made in a classic style, that is, the genre of the game remains stealth action, and you have to act as stealthily and silently as possible. It will not do without direct fights in an open battle, but here everything will depend on your skills in using virtual weapons of this world.
Quests to help stalkers
So, the passage of this Stalker Mod consists of activating and completing certain quests, which, as mentioned earlier, in the game there are only sixteen. Most of them are activated when you meet one of the stalkers who were also not lucky enough to be inside the anomaly. Your task is to help them, on which the passage of most of the game is based. You meet a stalker, communicate with him, get certain information and instructions, follow them and return to the character, helping him to leave the anomaly. Of course, all this is not done well-intentioned - for the performance you receive a reward that will help you in further advancement on the path to unraveling the secrets of the anomaly. Modification "Stalker: Call of Pripyat. Spatial Anomaly", however, does not limit you to one type of tasks.
Quest for the Truth
If there are more tasks in the plot of which you need to help other stalkers in the game, then quests in which you need to unravel the secrets of the Anomaly are much more important. In the game "Stalker" mod "Spatial Anomaly" focuses your attention on them, since they make up the main skeleton of the modification. After completing one task, you will receive a tip to another, but get to it only after you help one or two stalkers to get out. As a result, the modification is quite linear, as it is limited by a clear order of quests and two locations, but it does not become less fun. Especially if this is one of the latest versions of "Stalker: Sniper. Spatial Anomaly." However, even it is not the last - the creators reported that the final version of the modification will be released in early 2015, so fans can only wait impatiently.
Gameplay Changes
Naturally, in such a small modification it was difficult to change something in the gameplay. But the creators still managed to add a very nice and original function - the diary of the Beast. Now, after each meeting with the stalker or the riddles of the Anomaly, the main character writes his own impressions in his diary. And reading is very interesting. And given the fact that, due to the form of presentation, the information acquires a certain dynamism and a sense of player involvement, a very good function is obtained that would clearly be met with warmth by the players in the original project.
Small size fashion
Many players point out the small size of the modification and say that it should not be taken seriously. How could a good modification with a new plot and unique locations fit in less than fifty megabytes of disk space? But light weight is only a plus, because thanks to it, there are practically no crashes in the game, it is optimized and stable as much as possible. Well, all the content is quite located on the specified amount of space.
