Funny game reviews in English from Abdul (Protagonist of the game):

---

In 2013 Abdul closed his channel and did not appear on the Internet any more. Project "Call of Abdulov" is created in memory of him. These reviews were published in 2011.

Interesting, art style reminds me of Postal 2 in some ways.

Gameplay wise it looks like some fun mindless carnage.

I see a lot of technical achievements on GZDoom engine, so good work.

The swearing voice over, personally I find it extremely annoying.

If you are publishing the game as a commercial product, I hope you have all the rights to all the textures and stuff. I noticed you have TV footage in the trailer from a Russian News channel for example.

Anyways good luck and hope you find success.

So unlike DooM. I like it!

Good luck with the project.

Thanks! Magic will be in the form of spell books. Game start with one spell, but you can upgrade and buy new spells for coins in the levels.

What version of GZdoom is in the demo?

Interesting game concept but the lack of English support is problematic for me because I understand nothing about it. I mean, I sat through an (as far as I can tell) unskippable 10+ minute introduction that consisted of the game camera looking at a book in a language I don't know (I assume Russian) while someone read the pages to me, also in Russian(?). 10 minutes later, I knew little more than when the game had started. After that, I was treated to a fairly slow intro of the protagonist waking up with a hangover and then receiving a call, in Russian(?). He then switches on the TV and watches a news braodcast (which was done really well BTW) in Russian(?).

So, we're about 12-4 minutes in and I still know nothing and have been able to do nothing. Finally I get to wander around my(?) apartment. When I [use] some things, I get treated to some more fairly lengthy dialogue in Russian(?) while my character is frozen.

Eventually I get outside and, so far gameplay (now that it has finally started) seems very Serious Sam-like but still I'm bombarded by words I simply don't understand all the time. I'll give it another go at some point, but it's late here.

[Edit] just to be clear - I have no objection to the game being in Russian. That's fair enough. It's just that with there being so much content I can't understand it would be nice if I could skip those bits. Even if I did speak Russian and even though the intro is well done, I don't see me wanting to have a book read to me for 10 minutes every time I start a game. Unskippable cutscenes are generally considered bad.

Also, because I have no idea what was said, I don't know if I was given any mission critical information or not. Some sort of language independent clue system might be useful (e.g. floating arrows above important items, that kind of thing).

The cutscenes contain important information about the story, so I will add English subtitles in the next version (I will try to find a good translator).

The ability to skip the cutscenes will be in the next version.

floating arrows above important items, that kind of thing

good idea, I'll do it

Slightly modified 2.3.2

Cool, thanks. I look forward to finding out what it's all about. I had a feeling that the information I was being told in the intro was quite important (otherwise why would you have spent so much time on it) but given that I couldn't understand any of it, it just became 10 minutes of me hoping that the next turn of the page would be the last one.

I am looking forward to playing more of the game though. It really does look interesting.

I would definitely want to try this out when it gets on Steam.

Also, a Life of Boris cameo would be rad.

[vfkfz123]

Выглядит прикольно, но вот вопрос, Абдуль(ъ) будет единственным персонажем?Потому-что смотря на отсылки в трейлере, мне кажется что там будет-гринч, и пикуза, не знаю почему, но у меня такое предчуствие.А саму игру-жду с нетерпением.

It could be there, however-Boris is never appeaared in Abdul's story, It will be more logic if Pikuza or Grinch will be added to game.

It looks cool, but the question is, will Abdul ()) be the only character? Because looking at the references in the trailer, it seems to me that there will be a grinch and pikuza, I do not know why, but I have such a predchustvie.A game itself, I'm waiting eagerly.
