Fallout Equestria: Remains, BFE, PonyVania, SLH RPG|Fan Games
Today we will consider the JRPG with British humor, 18+ Point And Click quest, Metroidvania and a full 2D Fallout.
Fan creativity in its various guises is one of the most important reasons for many to stop in different fandoms. Today we will analyze the gaming part of fan creativity in the Armor community. Well, let's move on to our first fan game.
Super Le***an Horse RPG
It was made in 2013 by Bobby Schroeder and is a fat homage to the old JRPGs of the post-day era and early Demolished. He has a rating of 12+, I quote the classic "He even gave his devout mother to play and she didn't find anything offensive or obscene."
Positive
1)Well-drawn pixel graphics, as well as good art. I would like to scold enemies for the relaunch of sprites, but this is not critical, especially since new sprites also appear until the very end of the game.
2) The gameplay, although it uses the standard Jrpgshnuyu formula, but dilutes it with a large number of dialogues and the absence of a grind, as such. The only thing I would like to note is that he gets bored, but the game does not stretch out, so the game ends almost at the same moment. And well, some more gameplay moments and enemies stick out stereotypes. (Mostly fandom based on the type of "Original Character", which is a redrawn Proto-Man or a Tent from a Ponnet, which has a plot-based lack of collision)
3) The dialogues here are certainly not Tarantin's, but I would like to note them separately for jokes and for deconstructing many moments from similar games. And I advise you in advance to play the game in English, because the translator is trying, but some jokes are stupidly not translated, so I would consider the version of the game in the original language preferable.
Minuses
1) The game is too short. I passed it in 2 and a half hours and well, there was a feeling that she was cut at some point (Most likely with a mountain). This is not a strong minus, but it is present.
Result
8/10, yes, maybe this is too big an estimate in the context of full-fledged games, but today I'm rating fan games, so yes there will be a lot of "Near-Masterpiece" games, but objectively the game well has no downsides straight to put 6 or 7. It's not too complex and it's not required of her, it's just a game to laugh a little, read a little, and play a little.
Banned From Equestria
Let's say something, I'm not going to talk about the scenes for which most people go there, I'll just add 2 points to the final score and we're in the calculation, okay? Okay, I'll say just one thing about them, there is a version of Banned [Forever] don't play it, it's a Halloween special and there are those scenes that you don't want to see (It's a bit g**o, but believe me, it's not worth it). And yes, the game appeared here only because of the Kinda Weirdoo.
Positive
1) Good gameplay. Let's not joke, point and click, although banal, but it is executed at a high level, that is, you will not meet any pixelhunting (Well, except for one scene, which you will still be looking for on the wiki). Also, the gameplay has many moments where it changes, becomes a race, a stealth game (But you will lose there anyway), a maze and a clicker.
2)Graphics… It's not bad, pixels don't hurt your eyes, you can be content
3)Only need one hand
Minuses
1) I would like a censored version, separately of course, but this would personally go very far for me, since the game itself has a good gameplay and well, I really want to play without all this p34 binding.
Result
I honestly am not sure about 10/10, but she... perfectly fulfills her role, so well, objectively she is good. Another thing is that it's not complex, it's still a game where it's very difficult for a developer to make a mistake. So don't take it as a call to download, it's really 10/10 in its niche, but are you a person who wants to play a game from this niche? Actually, if the answer is yes, then go… squeeze 50 times, go outside, run, hit a random person, feel alive. You can play on Flashpoint.
Ponyvania: Order of Equestria
To be honest, I didn't pass it. Not because I'm lazy, but because it has one fat minus, which will be discussed later. The game itself was in Alpha for many years, but it was released 3 years ago. Let 's evaluate it
Positive
1)The customization of the characters here is excellent. Here, every parameter (Even color) affects something, especially the pony race (Or rather classes, such as Warrior, Trickster and Magician). I would also like to note that armor and weapons are displayed on your pony.
2) The gameplay, as in all metroidvaniyah, is not liked by everyone, but here the corners have been smoothed out as much as possible, that is, no backtracking (Mandatory). If desired, even the possibility of backtracking can be lost. Diversity can also be traced in classes, because if the same magicians often rely on elemental weaknesses, then warriors rely on a wide arsenal. Game design didn't disappoint either.
3) The graphics here are gorgeous, almost perfect pixel style. Not only does he look good in static, but he also looks great in action
Minuses
There's only one downside, but what:
1) Complexity. It is outrageous here in comparison with the castle, and this despite the fact that I played on an easy one, without penalties for death, so also with a level cap of 99. Enemies damazhat dofig, locations are built so that you can't pass them without damage, there are always some sneaks from enemies, yes, my God, some of them are more difficult than whole bosses from Konami's Metroidvaniy. And then there are also bosses, two per location, and at first everything is normal, although the first miniboss has an attack from which it is stupidly impossible to dodge, but it drives away very quickly, but the first full-fledged boss has a mountain of HP and Attacks that are impossible to remember (THEY appear ONCE PER BATTLE, WHO is a BITCH like that came up with). You can say that I am Fakin Casual and you may even be right, but I advise you to taste this game yourself, especially since it is free.
The result
is 8/10, everything is perfectly done, but they overdid it too much with complexity. You can download it here:

Fallout Equestria: Remains
This is a full-fledged game, without any "Buts". This is a real 2D Fallout, not some 5-minute demo from V4SY4 #, but a really high-quality product. But let's start in order:
What is Fallout Equestria?
In short, this is an independent MLP universe, which takes Fallout as a basis. It contains a bunch of stories, some of which are... amazing, I'm talking about the Project now: Horizon, think about 1780000 words, I'll remind you to read the Lord of the Rings trilogy five times. At the same time, it is fully translated into Russian. The original has 650,000 words and is based on a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 parts of Fallout and tells us about Littlepip, who escapes from the "Stall" for her imitation object Velvet Remedy and gets into the Wasteland, well, then there are 49 chapters of the plot, if necessary, then here is a brief retelling of all 50 chapters.
https://falloutequestria.fandom.com/wiki/Summary_of_Fallout:_Equestria
In general, this is a pretty high-quality fan fiction that does not slip into merisyushnost at the end.
Positive
1) Graphics, it is well made in the style of an animated series, of course some creatures look strange, but these are rather questions to the ent of the original.
2) The gameplay here is full-fledged, with pumping (A lot of differences from Fallout, even S.P.E. C. I. A.L was removed), platforming, normal shooting, even VATS were done. It can be seen that it was made by fans of both the MLP universe and Fallout fans. Telekinesis has also been added, which helps with Jumppuzzles, small enemies and Double Jumps. It's nice to study the locations, although some of them look too monotonous. In general, the gameplay here is at least 40-50 hours.
3) Ent here is taken from books and transferred in great detail to the game
Minuses
And there are none, yes there are flaws, but as a fan game it has already succeeded, because it has become full-fledged. Yes, there are shoals, but it's a sin not to play such a game for free, or at least try it. My only wish is for some kind of grandiose update with a bunch of content to be rolled out.
