Krai Mira: post-apocalyptic Crimea

Krai Mira (or Crimea) attempts to immerse players in a post-apocalyptic world with its atmospheric setting and diverse gameplay. However, its clunky user interface, technical issues, and shallow narrative detract from the overall experience. While it offers some enjoyment for fans of the genre, its execution falls short of expectations ... ragdoll physics are fun though. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3266657632 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3077941331

Other than combat, games lack in all other departments, if you can put blind eye on that, you can find this game somehow enjoyable. Thumbs up for good attempt making post apocalyptic game.

I have finished it once and 2 times I think, but the playtime does not match I think. Anyway, the game might seem rough, but it kinda was fun for me to play. I loved combat though. Quite fun and its not like 1 person moves and then next and you wait. Its like everyone in the same time when you do the move and see the results - like mass shooting etc. Quite fun especially if more then 10 ppl and some use bursts etc. :)
Its a nieche game. Similar in a sense to early fallout series.

The thing I didnt like was music though. It was quite repetitive and sometimes bweh, sometimes ok. A bit empty somewhere, but otherwise it was fine go.

The most "Fallout 2" game I've seen in a while. Reminds me of playing demos in the mid-2000s for Fallout-like games. It's definitely got some game breaking bugs, but if you can get past the few technical issues (and maybe consult a walkthrough periodically), it will feel like a Fallout 2 fan campaign you didn't know you wanted.

Brings back memories of Fallout 1 & 2, sure there are bugs here and there but overall it is well worth the price. Need more games like this, thumbs up and must play for FO 2 fans.

Very nice indie game. It may not be as complex as some other post-apocalyptic RPGs, but killing some monsters, leveling up, getting loot and reading some dialogues is still fun. The English translation typos are more funny than annoying and I find them fitting into the wasteland setting. Last thing worth mentioning is really good music.

Quite entertaining, in an old-school way.

I recommend, with 2 important advice:
- Don't get attached to your equipment or companions.
- Rotate your saves on several slots, to survive if you encounter game-breaking bugs.

Game mechanics are average, and include the 2 most ancient flaws of RPGs:
- One stat is much more useful than the others.
- You swim in money in a world that swims in resources (despite apparent suffering.)

Yet there are pleasant differences with the wasteland classics:
- The perks are original and amusing.
- Most people can barter with you, and nobody can afford your most expensive stuff.

The game also includes what appear to be 2 Russian RPG tropes:
- From the start, you can abuse the pickpocketing for fast and safe level up.
- You will lose your inventory. For good. Including unique items. In this game, multiple times.

For me, the 2 worst aspects of Krai Mira are:
- Horrible real-time sneaking without sneaking mechanics.
- The ending, a narrative disaster, a pointless multiple-ending dialogue, not with your quarry, but with a random 3rd-rate character who, out of nowhere, replaces them as the antagonist, in a big pile of nobody-cares. At least you can keep roaming the wasteland after that disappointment.

The 2 best aspects I would choose:
- The art; the thing looks terrific and the music score is on par.
- The variety; there seems to always be something new and interesting to discover, be it a new map, rare loot, strange mutants...
- The exploration; with barely any hints on quests, you really have to find out things by yourself, roaming aimlessly. That brings some of the feelings that deserts are meant to bring.

I actually played this prior the it becoming the Extended Cut and enjoyed it immensely. I was really nervous based on reviews at that time, but I'm a die hard fan of isometric games like the early Fallouts. This doesn't have as much of a story arc or plethora of mini-stories as those did but it still captured a kind of desolate isolation of wandering around the Wasteland with enough random encounters to spice it up. Imagine early Fallout 1 & 2 without nearly as many interesting characters and dialogue and that sums this up for me. Like Frozen State with more characters so if you enjoyed Frozen State then you'll like this too.

Like some others have said, I really wanted to like this game. The classic Fallout games are some of my favorite games ever and maybe that's the problem. I was looking for more classic Fallout. This game just feels empty. The artwork is great, but you can't really interact with anything. You go into different areas and there's nothing going on and nobody to talk to. I also didn't like the random inventories of NPCs. There's no point in going after certain people because you won't get what they are holding. But, you can just walk out of screen, then walk back and their inventory will change, which is also lame. Ultimately, I just got bored and couldn't finish the game.

"Krai Mira: Extended Cut" the name says all. I mean like others said this feels like extended cut of planned game.
If this is true this game is made by single person then I must admit one can see that there has been much love put into it and that the creator played Fallout series quite a lot.
Now if you have played Fallout mainly 2nd part imagine the game that feels like Fallout but there are no secondary skills(as this come-no training books either), the companions don't have any settings(including inventory), there are almost no side quests, random encounters are limited in diversity to one or max. two areas, there is no shop economy, loot is mainly random generated (including stores), graphics is much better but far more choppy, day and night only influence perception, there is no detailed description of items in the shop, some of the locations don't serve any purpose or their purpose is limited to single action, there is no 2nd weapon set and the weapons cannot be reloaded after accessing inventory, inventory items have stat requirements that require a lot of leveling...
So this game is bad? Well, no. Main plot saves the game. You are getting your money worth or even more. It is well worth investment IMHO to experience a fresh approach to Fallout series. The story is interesting enough. Speaking of don't forget to visit the locations after ending for aftermatch dialog The models are solid and music is almost on par with Fallout series. Game is well optimized and runs flawlessly through Steamplay (Linux).

Krai Mira is basically a Fallout 2 clone with much better and yet still terrible visuals. It's pretty wonky, mechanics aren't particularly fleshed out, combat is frustrating, the player loses their complete inventory several times (and doesn't get it back!) and the difficulty curve is quite high.

But all the same, the atmosphere is kind of awesome, the characters are whacky and there's actually quite a lot to explore, even although there aren't that many quests to do and NPCs to talk to in the grand design of things.

This is by no means a good game, but I personally had quite a bit of fun with it and if you're starved out for a classical Fallout experience, this'll do. I was and I ended up enjoying it, even although some of it is downright bad. Just imagine this to be a trashy B-movie

I would recommend checking the review written by "Derek"for the most part, however there are some misleads which need to be adressed. The game is comparable to fallout in terms of the general world (post-apo..wasteland) and the combat system if you choose turn based combat - there the similarity ends!

The Game in terms of content is pretty simple.
1. From the start you can encounter/get all types of weapons/armour that are in the game, nothing new comes later.
2. There are no sidequests - major cities provide caravan masters where you can act as escort, but there is no depth to that - rather just a filler for an empty world.
3. There is only one main questline, clues to what to do next may seem non-present, nope -its justhard sometimes.
4. Most NPCs after adressing them per quest become obsolete, change to generic foliage like the most in game population.
5. There are no consequences to what you do unless you kill a major character, where the game ends immediately.
6. No karma system or any other Long term developement of your character, nothing that you do matters.
7. You have a freedom of movement across the map, not that it would matter as unless you follow the main questline, there is nothing to do outside generic "escort the caravan"quest in some (4) locations.

Though you can not with a clear conscience compare this game and fallout and state that they are "VERY" similar - dont do that, I found the game enjoyable for the most part as it reminded me of fallout tactics - appearing similar to Fallout (from distance), but without the depth. Simple, No need to evaluate decisions, just go through with principle: "I dont care, I just follow the rope" method will be welcomed by all who have problems with decision making in RPGs, personaly I missed the depth /options a lot.

General recomendation to newcomers in order to remain positive about the game:
1. Dont hoard riches or you end up Grand-slaming your head on the table :-).
2. If the game seems hard, get some healing needles and go farming stength and health (abusing mechanics) :-), basicaly you dont need anything else to get through the game.

I recommend to buy this game for the sake of collection of the post-apocalyptics turn based games, just maybe get in when its on sale rather than for a full price.

Interesting RPG, reminiscent of the Fallout games. The journal could use some work and the combat can be unforgiving at times, but overall it's a good game. A lot of attention to detail with the environments. Dialogue could use a bit of proof-reading.

Krai Mira Review:

First off I would like to say wow what a awesome game! as soon I loaded it up I was like im playing fallout 1 again :). The graphics are really nice people complain about the unity engine but I must say it certainly captured the post apocalyptic atmosphere of the original fallout games I love. The main story starts off a tad slow but then takes off very well. I do think they could have a put a few more side missions to do though but I didn't mind doing caravan runs to build my character up. The length was good took me just over 18hrs to finish not bad for $10 game.

I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who is looking for fallout style isometric game it sure did bring back awesome memories of nostalgia for me.

Krai Mira looked pretty good and definitely was giving a strong nod toward the Fallout games, but ultimately it did not deliver. It had both positive points and negative points. Here they are:

Positive:
Looked pretty good.
Had a pretty good diversity of weapons.
Had some interesting plot points

Negatives:
Pacing (too fast)
Story telling (the plot points were good, but they weren't developed)
No character creation (not a huge deal, but can be important for RPG gamers)
Lack of autonomy - there are very few moral choices of consequence in the game. It seems like you are just thrust into the next situation, even if you did not want to move on and did not get to make a choice about which faction you sided with.

Anyway. I'm sure many other people did better and more thorough reviews, but hopefully this helps you not get lured intot he trap of seeing some cool looking screen shots and buying the game.

Nice game, especially with the extended update. Having Fallout 1,2 and tactics on disk from way back, this game does remind me of them, not too many in the genre. Of course it isn't some fancy AAA title but I actually like it slightly better than the fallout series (Save new vegas of course). Being a road warrior, rover, post-apoc type fan I do like the atmosphere. I also like that the devs are of that rare breed these days who actually continue to support and attempt to expand and tweak their title. a thing way too rare these days of typical steam scams and abandoments.. Overall the game is certainly nice for the price, I have been enjoying the campign, missons and atmosphere. I see a lot of crybaby hate from FO fanbois, as if everything is suppose to be New Vegas..lol If you have no such personality flawsand can judge a game on it's own merits then I would certainly recommend this. I've played a lot of games for a very long time, and this one is a fairly nice one, and the attention it continues to recieve from the devs is also a refreshing change. 7-8/10 and wortt having in your collection IMO. Nice gameplay, atmosphere and graphics and does what it sets out to do so far., Could of course, like ost every game, use more content and tweaks, but worth the price.

You really don't need to have a huge play time on this game to figure out whether or not you're going to like it.

You have no character customisation you're just this dude who you can name but that's it with a huge lack of character story there is no reason for this limitation. the inventory system is simplistic with no item description, you have no idea what anything does or what stats you need to use a red item. Exp rewarding is poor for instance in combat you only get xp if you land a killing blow, if you have npcs following you there is no interaction with their tactics other than stay close or go long, the environment is ok to look at but has very little interaction, the translations have gotten better but are still obviously very rusty.

I was very surprised to see this 'extended cut' come out as the last time I had a look at this it was a buggy early access mess, this is truly poor marketing I really don't care if all the fan boys give this a thumbs down playing through this is just a depressing experience of how not to make a game well and this mediocrity in every aspect is not something that should be rewarded or praised.

I played for >15 hours and haven't find the bugs or issues so far some people mentioned about. I think this game is gem. If fallout 2 and wasteland 2 are 9/10. then I can definitely give 7 or even 8 to this game.
In term of graphic, it is much better than fallout 2 though the elements are not as rich as fallout 2. Actually I personally think the plot is deeper than fallout 2, which is too straight forward. There are also many weapons that you can choose. Many RPG elments. Overall, it is very very good game and I enjoyed it.

The game seems unfinished, alot of NPC that you cannot talk, but have dialog icon on, world seems empty and unfinished. After several hours of playing I get the impression that this is early beta of the game.

TL;DR: It has some flaws, but overall I really like it!

This postapoc world somehow makes more sense to me than those of Fallouts and Wastelands. The game is nicely paced, some quests are quite difficult to figure out and pull off, which I enjoy. The storytelling is good, though the English is a bit broken sometimes, but who has times for dictionaries in a radiated world anyway. Random encounters are many and varied, though the terrains they occur on become a bit repetitive after a while.

I enjoy the battle mechanics, but it would be nice if the player had some control over his companions (now the AI controls them all), as usually they tend to just blindly charge the enemy and you have to constantly keep saving them from certain death, by taking the hits meant for them. Makes the tactic of sniping safely from afar rather useless. This is particularly annoying when you're escorting (and protecting) traders, as they're weak, unarmoured, but still charge ahead and get killed after only a few hits. Basically all combat AI does is zero in on the closest enemy and gets in range to shoot or club them. No flanking, no keeping distance for shooters, no tactics.

I like the fact that barter prices aren't the usual "10 when selling, 100 when buying" like in most RPGs, but with just a bit of a margin for the trader, so you can make some decent profits selling loot you've risked your life for. A storage locker somewhere in the world (or at least a trunk in your vehicle) would be nice for stowing away the items you wish to keep but are not currently using. As it is now, you want to convert any heavy object into weightless ammo asap by bartering it away, as the carry limit is quite low, particularly if you put on any armour.

The music is very nice and fitting to the atmosphere of the game and the graphics are what I'd expect from this sort of a game.

I do hope the devs keep working on the game, upgrade and improve it, because it is an unpolished gem with a lot of potential to become a classic of this genre.

Overall I give this game a:
10/10 for awesome post-apocalyptic atmosphere
9/10 for music (the bar track with the shredding guitar also shreds your nerves after a while)
7/10 for storytelling
8/10 for combat mechanics concept but only
1/10 for extremely stupid and completely brainless combat AI
