Krafton releases new tactical top-down shooter -apkrig
Developers from Krafton, which also stands for titles such as PUBG and Tera, have completed their tactical top-down shooter Thunder Tier One. It has been available since last night for the price of 20 euros on Steam and presents a very interesting mix of intense action, realism and a not very usual perspective for this genre. The player takes on a member of a special unit that is trying to fight terrorists in the fictional Eastern European country of Salobia. This can be done in a number of game modes, including story mode with cooperation and PvP multiplayer.
The idea for the Thunder Tier One was born in the mind of graphic artist and animator Paweł Smolewski in 2016, when he was employed at the Czech studio Bohemia Interactive. He started working on the game with several of his colleagues in his spare time, but after about a year of creating the concept and designing the game mechanisms, they had to put it on ice due to their own busy schedule. It wasn’t until three years later that Smolewski decided to present the idea at his current location, and the Thunder Tier One got the green light from Krafton’s management. If you are interested in the whole trip, you will find it mapped in detail on Steam, where the first posts about the title began to appear in 2016 and offer quite an interesting comparison with the result.
He is technically much further than he was at the beginning and it must be admitted that there is a really nice view of the detailed scenes with moving members of the special forces. But the developers didn’t want to settle for just a pleasing graphic jacket and worked hard to make the Thunder Tier One proud of its realistic gameplay. The weapons that, according to Krafotn, should behave differently and require a different approach to fire, correspond in particular. Ammunition or other elements of improvements that affect accuracy, range or penetration against specific opponents are also important for encounters with the enemy. According to Krafton, therefore, it is not enough to crouch behind a paper wall and just click on the opponents’ heads, but to think logically and try to make the most of the equipment that the player has at hand.
As for the game modes, the mentioned campaign is designed so that you can enjoy the prepared nine missions in a four-member team, but you can also play solo with partners controlled by artificial intelligence. As in other action games, however, the story serves more to get acquainted with the controls, as well as the lorem of the game, and everything important will take place in multiplayer. For this, the developers have prepared four PvP and PvE modes, in which players try to pick up a designated package, secure designated places, fight against everyone in a classic deathmatch or fight with a timekeeper in an attempt to defuse trapped explosives and withstand numerous superiority.
The Thunder Tier One is also set to support modifications that bring the people of Krafton as close to the community as possible. In the trailer that announces the release of the game, it is clear that not only the equipment but also the game modes will be able to change, so in a few weeks or months, something can be completely out of the game. another. Whether the game will succeed and find its place in a crowded market is, of course, a matter of time, but it is encouraging that of the 503 ratings available on Steam, 87 percent are positive and a very pleasant surprise.
