What to do with a license in battle carnival. Preview of Battle Carnival - a crooked craft or a new crazy shooter? Battle Carnival Shooting Basics

Developed and published by Zepetto in 2016, it became available on the gaming platform in Russia and the CIS GameNet the same year. The game is distributed using a free-to-play model.

Battle Carnival features 12 playable characters, each with their own story, passive and active skills, and unique secondary weapons. Each character has a different amount of maximum health and can either move quickly or walk silently.

The release of the game in the CIS countries first became known in August 2016. And already in September, the first stress test of the game took place, which became the first stage of testing, in which ordinary players took part. This was followed by several more stages of testing, after which, during the Alpha test, the game was presented at the Igromir exhibition. On December 16, 2016, the final testing stage began, which was aimed at checking the translation and adaptation of the text, as well as testing game mechanics.

Plot

The conflict between the main characters is tied to a mysterious explosion of antimatter. Each of the characters presented in the game is somehow connected with the incident. Some are hunting for antimatter for their own benefit, some want to hide the artifact away from the wrong hands, and some are fighting for antimatter in the name of a common good goal. Some characters, as a result of an anomalous explosion, received superpowers that the player can use during battle.

Text version:

Studio Zeppetto, what do you know about her? Personally, I heard this name quite recently, which is very strange. For it was this team that created the legendary game. At a quick glance, you won’t immediately be able to tell that it was once on almost every PC. Me and many of my friends hung out in it for a very long time, we didn’t even do our homework...
Perhaps that's why I'm not the smartest at the university now.

The studio decided to enter the market with a new project. Again, this is a shooter, again the same distribution model (), or more precisely, Fan F2P. Let's meet Battle Carnival! Another underplay or a good killer of your time? Today we will find out everything.

The game was announced not so long ago, at the Chinajoy 2016 exhibition in China, held at the end of July. This is a kind of analogue of E3, only with more technology. True, they leaked it back in early July, under the name Project SOW. Then I attached little importance to the game, even taking into account the fact that the first launch would take place in Russia, bypassing the birthplace of the rising sun. I didn’t care who the developer was, who our publisher was (and this, by the way, was GameNet). The first videos about the game did not catch my attention, and all this "humor" disgusted.

Maybe because I didn’t close the session then, maybe the stars didn’t align well, I don’t know. But after I was able to try Battle Carnival Personally, my opinion has changed dramatically. This was influenced by a lot of aspects, it’s impossible to put everything in one sentence, so let’s talk about everything in order.

Heroes, abilities and ammunition

Let's say the heroine is Lady, a sheriff's assistant. It so happened that she shoots very well, has various cups, with work on "You", in general, well done girl. And one fine day, her friend was wounded, his leg was torn off. The reason for this is the terrorist Kill Joy, who was killed and wanted in all countries of the world. Once he forced the hostages to cut each other, and simply shot the winner, although he promised to let him go. Even his partners were horrified by this act. Now the Lady, having abandoned everything, is chasing in his footsteps, killing everyone in her path.

This "Not only" lies in the completely different appearance of the basic set of weapons (gun, knife and grenade). Each one is matched to the style of the skin, which can be purchased in the store for in-game currency, just like the hero himself. Only one character is given for free forever and two for 7 days; you can change them every week (they fly off and you have to choose again).

It’s already more stable in firearms – everyone has pistols. Only some people have two revolvers, some take a PPK with a silencer, but for others a pink mini-pistol is enough (Cindy hides its name). Moreover, more than half of the weapons are modified to their taste and color.

The skills are no longer so crazy and are closer to standard for online shooters. Each hero has two of them - one active, the other passive. Jimmy King can sing a disgusting tune that prevents others from using their skills, and when he dies, a "Requiem" plays, causing damage to nearby enemies. Big Boy increases the amount of ammo and throws grenades endlessly for 5 seconds. Kill Joy hides, Queen puts shields on herself out of combat, and Papi disguises herself as a random object. True, this is not always allowed, and not all skills are equally useful. This is how I move smoothly to the modes.

Modes

• Technology War– a team of 6 people must kill the opposing team. Using skills is prohibited here, but there are items scattered around the map: for example, an MGL grenade launcher or an RPG-7. There are also temporary cheats lying around that allow you to see people through walls, shoot without recoil, accelerate, jump high, or even all at once. The team that scores the most points in the allotted time or reaches the limit wins.
• Destruction– a regime very similar to the previous one, only here everything is prohibited. You have weapons, grenades and a knife. Let's just say it's a classic death match. As in other modes, you can change weapons, even buy new ones; by the way, you can also change your character, but only after death.
• Detonation– once again we are limited in the use of abilities, and there are no selectable skills. It’s just that one team plants a bomb and the other defends it, then the teams change.
• Art of War– finally, a regime where everything is allowed. In addition to increasing HP and using the mechanics of the previous "Undermining", abilities available. This is where Papi will find his calling.

Bottom line

GameNet is currently running an open alpha version of the game periodically, so stay tuned.

And if you have already tried the project, write in the comments: is the game very similar to its competitors, or did Zeppetto manage to add a twist?

All client games are notable for the fact that they have a lot of options for the development of events, and different heroes with their own skills that can immediately change the situation on the battlefield.

Let's look at what capabilities the characters in the cult first-person shooter Battle Carnival have, how they can be used advantageously in battle, and what influences victory in battle.

Coloring of characters and their specificity

Before starting the game, you must choose the main character you will play as. Or two. Fortunately, Battle Carnival even provides for such a course of events. You can even change your characters, though no more than once a week.

When making a choice, do not forget - each hero has his own set of weapons, parameters, strength, and health. The entire further process of the game depends on this. There are also several modes of this game with an online client. Each of them has its own unique features, which will be different for the heroes.

Skills

Let's take Cindy as an example. She can build special barricades in battle. Bears can be like that (unusual, right?). But Papi can camouflage himself perfectly - he quickly turns into an object like an iron barrel or box. These were active skills.

Passive skills can help not only one hero, but the entire team together. For example, Cindy can increase the running speed of her brothers. Yes, only for 5 seconds, but it will surprise the enemy and play into your hands. Especially if there are bears ahead of you.

In addition to these skills, heroes have a lot of notable abilities. There is a brave guy, Rino, who masterfully wields a powerful minigun. And Lady can generally shoot without aiming.

All skills, both active and passive, must be used wisely. Therefore, before leveling up each of them, you should think about whether it will be useful when completing each specific mission.

A couple of final points

Of course, each skill is carefully developed by the developers so that the game balance does not suffer. But the most powerful ones are auto-aim and acceleration. They can only be used in one game mode - “Art of Combat”.

Battle Carnival is a rather serious, powerful and dynamic representative of the genre of online shooter games, where there are a lot of brutal battles and exciting fight scenes. And even though it came out not so long ago, a lot of people have already become interested in it. So we recommend that you join too!
