Evil Days of Luckless John is a comic style 3D action/adventure game from Akella that features a non-linear storyline.
Evil
Days of Luckless John is one of those games that are hard to fit neatly
into a particular category. It is definitely not your typical adventure
game, with its integration of elements normally found in other, more
action-packed genres. In fact, its working title of "Raiders of the Lost
Casino" is perhaps more indicative of the kind of "adventure" it seeks
to be. Wherever it falls on genre lines, however, we do know for sure
that this new game by Czech
developer Centauri Production and Russian publisher Akella is shaping up
to be a lighthearted 1930s gangster tale with stylized visuals -- one
that, despite having more action than usual, also promises to bring
enough story and puzzles to appeal to adventure gamers.
In
this game, you will be playing Johnny, a handsome young man who often
finds himself down on his luck. Coming from a poor New York family, he
lives out on the street and owns next to nothing -- that is, until he
inherits a small, forlorn casino out in the countryside from his
recently-deceased uncle, by dint of being his only living relative.
Unfortunately
for our protagonist, the casino is shaping up to be big trouble. A pair
of somewhat inept yet fearsome gangsters named Soft and Rock has been ordered
by the big boss to expropriate the place. Johnny's task, therefore, is
to stop them -- a difficult-enough job made even harder by one detail:
the town Sheriff just so happens to work for the Mafia, and Johnny
quickly finds himself thrown in prison.
When
Akella demonstrated this work-in-progress to us at E3, we were
immediately greeted by a cinematic opening video introducing us to the
game's plot and setting. This was our first taste of Luckless John's
atmosphere and visual style:
cartoon-like, and yet gritty at the same time -- we are in the
prohibition-era United States after all. All this is rendered
beautifully in real-time 3D in the style of a black-and-white
hard-boiled detective film from the '30s, complete with a jazzy Big Band soundtrack playing in the background.
Following
the intro movie, we saw the first playable segment of the game, this
time in colour. As mentioned earlier, Johnny is stuck in a dingy jail
cell, and your first task is to get him out of there. Being a purely 3D game,
a third-person, direct control interface is favoured over a point and
click one. You use your keyboard to move Johnny around, and your mouse
to rotate the camera and interact with surrounding items and supporting
characters.
Now,
remember when I mentioned that Evil Days of Luckless John wasn't your
typical adventure game? Well, by that I meant that if you're thinking
the game's going to be one that solely relies on the "use X on Y" type
of puzzles, you're definitely wrong. Thanks to the help of a physics
engine, Johnny can run, jump, drive cars, and even shoot things, which
the developers hope will immerse the player more completely into the
fast-paced world of gangsters.
However,
for those who derive more enjoyment from game activities that actually
require thinking, rest assured that such puzzles do exist in Luckless
John's thirty different locations, which include a museum, a farm, and a
cemetery, among others. Some of them take advantage of the game's
physics engine, having you move boxes around and knock heavy things off
of shelves. Others have you finding your way through various mazes.
Still others have you talking to the game's wide cast of colourful,
comic book-style characters, finding answers to your questions and
helping you advance in your quest to save the casino. During our E3
demonstration, the portion of the gameplay that we saw consisted of very
traditional adventure game elements of Johnny trying to find items to
help him escape from jail.
