At the end of the twentieth century, many put an end to the Russian game industry. Of course, not too many computer games are produced in Russia, but some of them deserve close attention.
Most of the Russian games remembered by consumers are good for their special atmosphere, an unusual approach to the process. There are not very many such examples, but almost all of them, as they say, “shot”.
Original ideas
For example, games from the IL-2 Sturmovik series are recognized by many experts and ordinary players as the best in their genre. This game was published not only in Russia, a major publisher Ubisoft released it for the European market. The games in this series have earned numerous awards and worldwide recognition. Fans of the genre believe that nothing like this has come out in the past and is unlikely to come out in the future.
Cycle "Corsairs" (while it has not deteriorated) has presented a huge number of players with many unforgettable hours of play. Large-scale sea battles, adventures on land, nice graphics and beautiful ships made these games something very special. The last parts of the Akella company were not very successful, but you can always replay the most successful Pirates of the Caribbean.
Successful copies
Russian games have not always been distinguished by new concepts. For example, the games "Prince" and "Prince 2" were very successful and atmospheric, but still a clone of the legendary Diablo. True, this only concerned the technical side of the gameplay. The spirit of Ancient Russia, its mythology and legends, excellent music attracted many players.
The wonderful game "Onyblade" was released by Gaijin Entertainment and has gained wide popularity all over the world. Bright "anime" graphics, fun gameplay, excellent characters and high replay value made "Onyblade" a real hit not only in Russia, but also in Europe and America.
Exclusive solutions
Fans of unusual games ten years ago had every chance to get acquainted with one of the most original game projects, perhaps not only in Russia, but all over the world. The Ice-Pick Lodge company released in 2005 an amazing game "Pestilence. Utopia". The creators themselves call it "a survival simulator in an epidemic." This is an unusual game with a time limit, an unusual game world and colorful characters. A few years later, Ice-Pick Lodge repeated their success by releasing an even more unusual game called Turgor.
It should be noted that Russian developers have successfully performed not only in the field of unusual, non-mass games. For example, the sequel to the legendary game King's Bounty, released a few years ago, is considered almost a reference game all over the world. Difficult balance, colorfulness, good plot - we can assume that the revival of the legendary series of games has more than succeeded.
Naturally, the domestic igrostroy released not only the listed games, but also many other equally worthy ones. Unfortunately, the share of low-quality quests released by Russian developers is also quite large, but every year the situation becomes less deplorable, as new decent teams appear.
