Game Features
Fighting enemies, various tests, searching for clues to logic tasks - all this falls to the lot of the heroic four. The player can choose one hero, bots will play for the rest. Or offer to go through all the levels to friends who will disassemble the rest of the characters. Co-op can be played by up to four people, including local multiplayer.
Each hero has his own special weapon and special moves. Before choosing a character, you should study the strengths and weaknesses of the daredevils:
- Dr. Braxtone has a boomerang launcher, however, for some reason the boomerangs do not come back, but these are details. He can also hit the ground with his fist and knock enemies back.
- Mercenary Ruby lays down enemies with her sonic crossbow. He also has a talent for making enemies dance by turning on the boom box music.
- Professor Aberoth is strong in that he fires from a catapult, and is also able to heal, both himself and his comrades.
- Franklin has a sling at hand, and at a difficult moment he can also summon a vicious war monkey, which is also good at cutting through enemy lines.
Jumanji: The Video Game Locations and Graphics
The game has 4 locations, these are the Eastern Bazaar, the jungle, snow-capped mountains and a small mountain town. Original graphics, user-friendly interface. The heroes immediately enter the first zone, where they need to find 4 idols - glowing figures of an elephant, a rhino, a crocodile and a monkey. You have to break through, of course, with a fight. When the figurines are collected, the daredevils must hold the point with the levitating stone, the fight is very similar to the mission to capture the flag.
When the scale of the stone is full, the heroes go to level 2, where they need to go through an obstacle course. Plus - fend off enemies and collect the same 4 figurines. Locations differ only cosmetically, the promotion scheme is the same, you need to run in a straight line. By the way, the figurines are kept in a conspicuous place, there is no need to look for hiding places. But the fact that the shelters actually did for the enemies, the gamers strongly dislike. It turns out that it is already impossible to hide in a occupied niche.
Tips for passing the game
The game also provides an opportunity to give your life to a friend, for this you need to examine the icons in the lower corner of the screen. If a heart appears instead of your partner, you need to press the "1" key and fill in the dial.
To collect figures and get low damage, you need to know the little tricks of this game:
- While running through the Oriental Bazaar, you can score more points if you break the vessels with liquid that are on the roofs.
- Large thugs are easier to destroy from a distance, preventing them from approaching. It is safer to shoot in the head.
- To get through the cave, it is important to accurately calculate the time, and also to bypass the traps. Here the daredevils will find a floor with thorns, they appear in a checkerboard pattern, and swinging axes.
- Blue crates give ammo and purple crates give grenades.
- It is possible to pass the fiery flame in the cave, taking into account the occupied space. Fire can be forgiven from one wall to another, or only reach the middle of the corridor.
- Cannons embedded in the walls fire 4 times in a row, then there is a pause. So you need to run forward after the last shot.
- There will also be thorns in the rooms of houses in a mountain city, but sharper. And to calculate the trajectory of the axes, you need to watch the sparks on the floor.
Jumanji: The Video Game Gameplay Features
You need to move quickly, make a decision - too, for each action, players receive points that can be used to upgrade characters and their weapons. And in each location there is an unkillable rhinoceros, from which you need to take your feet. Only in a mountain town you will have to flee not from a rhino, but from a bear, you should be especially wary of it. An incomprehensible feature from the developers, like the heroes and other problems are not enough ...
In general, the game turned out to be bright and colorful, the tasks are not too difficult. Despite the fact that the emphasis is on killing enemies, there is no sea of blood, opponents disappear after destruction, turning into fog.
