Bunker - The Underground Game is one of many Point & Click games and I was certainly excited when I first saw it. I was not disappointed, despite some events that stopped the gameplay flow.
If this review is too long for you, I suggest you to only read the first paragraph about the game's content and the final verdict at the end.
What is happening in the game:
You are playing as Otto Thompson. He is just a regular guy but, after getting kidnapped, he has to show courage and intelligence in order to escape from a secret Russian underground base, where they want to cut out his liver. By solving puzzles and combining the right things, he slowly progresses towards freedom.
Pros:
- This game is FILLED with humour. Parodies, jokes, hilarious story, they all make this game awesome.
- Amazing art. It looks simple and funky and really fits this type of game.
- Soundtrack. My god, it's so wonderful. It it fits perfectly with the Russian environment and it really completes the whole game experience.
- The story itself is well-made and planned with multiple endings and, again, humour.
- Throughout the game, you are able to find secrets by clicking on certain spots or making certain actions.
- Item combinations are thought-out and make sense, unlike some other games of the same genre.
- The developer is very responsive to bug reports and he fixes them fast.
Cons:
- Steam integration. Where's Cloud support? Trading cards? Anything?
- You are very likely to come across a bug that is, in many cases, game breaking. I came across a few myself, but the dev fixed them all and I was able to complete the game.
- No Linux, no MacOS. Come on, people like that stuff.
- Sometimes, the animations seem tacky (like character moving his legs faster than he's moving). But it's not that noticable.
The final verdict:
I enjoyed this game much more than I thought I would and I am really glad I played it. The feeling of gameplay is great and it really sets you into Russian environment with its music and art. The story was funny, there were great plot-twists and the whole thing was filled with jokes. Despite the bugs, I had a really great time and I certainly hope for a sequel.
If you're looking for humour combined with well-made puzzles, this is the game for you. And if you see it in a bundle or on a sale, don't hesitate a moment.
