The port is so broken and rushed for Christmas sales they didn't have time for anything.

Visual settings in the game are: "Performance", "Original" and "Enhanced" and the sound is fucked up completely.

This title has already been published in 2004 and was considered the highlight of the year at the time. Now it is available on Steam for the very first time.
You are Paul de Raque, a Knight Templar on a journey to the Holy Land with the goal to reunite with his Order in Jerusalem. But you are more than just a common crusader - you are on a holy mission. The future of the world and all mankind rests on your shoulders…
Using the weapons of a medieval knight you must fight your enemies, humans and demons alike, to prevent unspeakable evil from being victorious and hell from conquering earth.
You fight against the hordes of darkness with sword, axe, bow and shield. Your crusade leads you through Europe and the Holy Land, against warriors, assassins and minions of hell. You must thwart the dark plans of evil at all costs and find a sacred relic from ancient times.
The focus of the game is on the battle with authentic weapons of Medieval Times in the dark world of the 12th century, which was painstakingly recreated with great effort in graphic design and detail.

  • Compete against over 40 different enemies and form new alliances with important allies in the fight against evil. Only you have the power to save humanity!
  • Explore 14 levels of the Dark Ages, ranging from tranquil monasteries and villages to exotic bazaars and the strongholds of the Crusaders under the blazing sun of the Holy Land!
  • Unravel the mysteries of two worlds: The realm of the living and the nightmarish world of demons and lost souls!
  • Use the heavily packed mediaeval armory: sword, mace, axe and shield are just some of the loyal companions you can rely on during your journey!
  • Battle fiercely with fair and unfair tricks and capture all the drama and excitement of medieval combat!
  • Master archery and strike down your enemies from a great distance!
  • Solve a variety of puzzles and remove any obstacles you may encounter on your journey that may make it harder to reach your ultimate goal!
  • The dynamic ability system allows for the creation of a customized player character without unnecessary shifting of numbers and arithmetic.

Another obscure and curious re-release. X-Team, a 2008 "role-playing strategy with a non-linear narrative" inspired by "the legendary XCOM, Fallout, Rage of Mages and Dungeon Siege", from Ukraine developer N-Game Studios

X-Team - a classic mix of role-playing game and strategy, inspired by the legendary XCOM, Fallout, Rage of Mages and Dungeon Siege.

In 2010, the Earth was attacked by hordes of aggressive aliens - Sarts. The resistance of disparate armies was broken in a matter of hours. Survivors formed the Earth Alliance to jointly combat the Invasion. But, in the new organization, there is still no unity. Some of the leaders of the Alliance are ready to sacrifice the destiny of all mankind for personal ambitions. And the motives of the aliens are also not as simple as it seems at first glance...

You are an operative of the squad X-Team, the main strike force of the Earth Alliance. Gather your team and defeat the aliens. Conduct your own investigation and find out the true goals of both the Sarts and the Earth Alliance.

X-Team is:
  • Ultimate mix of role-playing game and strategy. Form a squad of heroes, each of which has his own biography, abilities, and skills. Upgrade the characters' skills, find new weapons and equipment for them to fight more efficiently. Build your base, train infantry, and produce military vehicles for large-scale battles with the enemy!
  • Balanced role-playing system: three classes of characters, nine specializations, dozens of abilities. Characteristics of the characters directly affect the style of the game. Assault enemy positions with a machine gun at the ready or act stealthily using camouflage and sniper weapons. Become an engineer, a physician or a mysterious paranorm - each of the classes has its own advantages and weaknesses.
  • Completely non-linear narrative. A difficult moral choice awaits you: become the savior of mankind or its enslaver. Complete quests convenient for you. Help survivors or cynically use them for your own purposes.
  • A large and eventful world. You have to fight with alien invaders in different countries and continents, in Africa, Europe, Russia, and the United States. In each mission, you are expected to meet with impressive characters, many of whom are willing to share valuable information or give out quests.

...And also a large arsenal of weapons and equipment, dozens of characters to talk to, unexpected plot twists, insidious enemies and many other features!

I've never heard of this game and I was wondering why. Found a few old reviews and judging by them, the game is utter and irredeemable shit.

If anyone wants something decent and post-soviet, there is Planet Alcatraz for example, Silent Storm, etc.
