Modifications for computer games are a very common occurrence. Many gamers who have a certain understanding of programming want to make their own changes to the game, make it more interesting, exciting, add content that they consider necessary. Sometimes this is done exclusively for yourself to enjoy. But there are times when user modifications become known all over the Internet, other gamers begin to download them, they are written about on the network. Naturally, there are only a few such mods, but the quality of these few projects is in fact not inferior to the original itself. The same thing happened with the custom modification "Stalker. Deaths Despite". The passage of this project was so exciting that it received widespread recognition, and now many players enjoy the creativity of not game developers, but fellow gamers with great pleasure. Therefore, this mod is worth a look more carefully.
Base for modification
As you know, any mod is based on something. In this case, the game "Stalker. Call of Pripyat" served as the basis for creating something new. Modification "Stalker. Deaths Contrary", the passage of which will take you much less time than the original, is very different from the initial version. Therefore, first you should pay attention to exactly what the original game "Stalker" looked like. Like the other parts, "Call of Pripyat" is a stealth shooter with elements of role-playing game. You will have to play the role of one of the stalkers who survived in the post-apocalyptic world, where at every step you can meet mutants and various anomalies. The emphasis in this game is on the search for various objects, finding caches, as well as silent movement and attempts to avoid conflicts. The fact is that any enemy here is as strong as you are, so it's better to get around the enemy than to get involved in every battle, lose health and precious ammunition. The long storyline is based on the tasks that various characters in the game give you. As you can see, this is great soil for creating a mod like Stalker. Deaths Despite. The passage of the game takes a couple of dozen hours, but it was the mod that made it shorter, although this does not mean that the project has become more accessible to the masses.
Own storyline
Naturally, the mod has its own characteristics, which make it original, unique and unlike the original. The main distinguishing feature is a completely redesigned campaign. The original plot of "Call of Pripyat" was correctly cut from the game "Stalker. Deaths Despite". Passage now has a completely different look and character. The creators of the modification added their own campaign, in which events occur that have nothing to do with the initial version. This is really an impressive work of fans, since in most cases it happens that modifications add only some necessary little things. A storyline is also introduced here, as well as additional side quests. Passing the game "Stalker. Deaths Despite" will be an unforgettable pastime for you, so all fans of the series are strongly recommended to try this mod.
Other features of "Contrary to Death"
No one should doubt that this modification has added far more than just a new plot. Passage of the game "Stalker. Deaths Contrary" will now be even more interesting, since the creators of the mod completely redesigned the weapons system, making it more balanced. Also, the impact was on the system of storing items in hiding places. Other aspects of the game were also redesigned, and this mod actually appeared before users in the form of a separate full-fledged game. It is worth noting that over time, the developers of the modification continued their activities and released the next part - "Stalker. Deaths Contrary. Novice." Passing the first part leads you not to a logical conclusion, but to the expectation of continuation. But first things first.
The beginning of the passage
So, you first need to go through the first part of the game, which is called "In the middle of the devilry", in order to later get the opportunity to play "Stalker. Deaths Contrary. Acolyte." Passing will not take you much time, but it will be full of various exciting events that will keep you in suspense until the very end. The game begins with the location of the sawmill, which is located in the Zaton zone, where the main part of the game will take place. It makes no sense to list all the movements from one quest to another - it’s better to talk about the main difficult points so that you can get to the game “Stalker. Deaths Against 2” faster. The walkthrough will consist of small tasks, each of which you will need to take from a particular character, complete it, and then return to the same character for a reward so that the next story quest becomes active.
The first story quests
Your first task in the game will be to search for a dead radio operator - naturally, no one will strain you from the very beginning. You only need to follow the signal of the lighthouse, which will lead you to the corpse - and you need to search it to advance on the plot of the game "Stalker. Deaths Despite". Walkthrough, guide, tips - all this you can use to succeed, but it is best to act independently, refer to third-party sources only in case of emergency. Then you will need to go in search of your commander, who, unlike the radio operator, may still be alive. Follow the signal, and you will find a building with hiding places - in them you will come across a large number of objects that are recommended not to be sold, but stored. They can be useful in the future according to the plot, and getting them again will not be so easy anymore. Your commander, of course, is alive, but, unfortunately, he has only a short time to live. Before his death, he talks about a cache, in which you can also find a lot of useful things for himself and for the group. This ends your first storyline of the game "Stalker. Deaths Despite". Walkthrough, the tools for which you always have at hand, so far does not cause difficulties, but this is only the beginning. Further quests will be more difficult.
Meeting with Achilles
When you deal with the affairs of the commander, you will be returned to field work - get tasks to find Achilles, an undercover agent. As you can see, there is no connection with the original game "Stalker" - the mod "Death Despite", the passage of which, however, causes no less positive emotions, is based on the game engine, but includes completely different tasks. So, the meeting with Achilles ends with a new task - a trip to the city of Skadovsk, where you will need to meet two important people. Before this, go to the collection point and get ready for the worst. In the appointed place you can find only the corpses of all the members of the group, but there is no time to grieve - now you are on your own, go to Skadovsk. These are the plot twists more than once the game "Stalker. Death Contrary" will throw you. Full passage does not take much time, but the creators managed to put a lot of interesting content into it.
Events in Skadovsk
It is in this city that the main events begin to develop - you will learn about the O-Consciousness project and begin an investigation of this matter, which will bring you further. You will need to go to secret laboratories to get as much information as possible about this project. But at the same time, do not forget that Skadovsk is a big city, and there you can talk with various people. And some of them can give you side quests that you should definitely not refuse. But be careful - some of them are not so simple. There is, for example, a quest in which it is necessary to solve a full-fledged task in chemistry in order to succeed. And in another task, if you can’t quietly eliminate the target, they will play with you one small and unpleasant game - they will take away all the equipment and land them on the edge of the location with an explosive chip in their head. You will have a couple of minutes to get to the city and neutralize the chip, otherwise your head will explode. It is worth remembering that along the way you may meet mutants in large quantities, so you should not forget about caution even with a chip in your head. By the way, the less time before the explosion, the greater its effect on the brain, and your vision will begin to blur, which will further complicate the task. As you can see, not all quests are simple and commonplace, they greatly complicate the passage. “Stalker ZP. Deaths Despite” is a rather complicated modification, so you should not think that it will be an easy walk.
Cave trekking
The next quest directs you directly to the cave, which is located under the burnt farm. There, of course, there will be a cache, but you will need to find the keys to it, so it is not so simple as it seems at first glance.
Battle with the Chimera
If you think that you will be able to complete the game in stealth mode, then you are mistaken. Even in the plot, you will come across a task in which you will need to break through the crowds of mutants in order to then fight with the boss - a huge Chimera. It is difficult to defeat her, but it is quite possible, so try.
Corsair's Treatment
The corsair, the character who gave you the Chimera mission, was injured while you completed it. He refuses to be treated by a local doctor, so he has to return to Skadovsk to ask for help from Rezchik, whom Corsar trusts. But here the doctor is unconscious and refuses to come to the rescue. After that, a very interesting mini-game begins - you need to save the Corsair using the device that the Cutter gave you. This is a very difficult task to deal with. But if you do not want this, then you can try to let Corsair die. On his corpse you will find a couple of very useful things, so not everything is so bad.
Final task
In the last task, you will need to destroy one of the units of Sin, it is quite possible to deal with this, but the main recommendation is not to get too close. It’s best to fight from a distance and keep it as long as possible. Do not try to avoid the PSI strike, because it will catch you anyway - Noah will save you, who will reveal a few secrets that prepare the player to continue.
