Sudeki

Sudeki is a great game that isn?t given the justice it deserves.?There was a lot of hype surrounding this game when it was first announced and as far as I am concerned it has delivered.?It may not be the greatest RPG out there, but it is a nice divergent for the standard tactical RPGs that are all too common.

The general overall feeling in Sudeki is one of familiar ground with a good variety of quests to accomplish using a strong cast of characters. Sudeki tries a new path and gives us real time combat instead of the normal turn-based style which works. Sudeki plays like an eastern role-playing game, with western combat ideas. The best of both worlds you could say, but you'll need to judge that for yourself. Sudeki is defiantly worth the money.

The Xbox is not a console known for its large library of RPGs, so Sudeki’s release was anticipated by many a gamer hungering for a bit of role-play love. While it would have been nice to see the title last year, the delays were put to good use and the final version shines brightly.

I really had a lot of fun, Sudeki. I think you’re a great game no matter how they spin you. I’ll admit I was a little hesitant to give you such a high score (because of how it would contrast with popular online opinion) but darn it, Sudeki, you deserve an 87%.

Knallbunte Grafik, großäugige Figuren und Vater-Sohn-Konflikte: Klingt nach einem Konsolen-Rollenspiel aus Japan - doch das ist nur die halbe Wahrheit. Sudeki der britischen Entwickler Climax bezaubert auch auf dem PC durch seinen ganz eigenen Charme.

Das Reich von Sudeki ist gespalten in zwei Welten: Licht und Dunkelheit. Vor langer Zeit erschuf der Gott Tetsu einen Zwilling von sich, Heigou, der ihm in seiner Einsamkeit Gesellschaft leisten sollte. Jedoch Heigou wandte sich von seinem Zwillingsbruder ab. Tetsu entsandte vier tapfere Krieger, um dem Treiben seines Bruders Einhalt zu bieten. Den Helden gelang es, die Pläne von Heigou zu vereiteln, jedoch wurde das Reich entzweit. Seither ist viel Zeit vergangen und Heigou steht wieder kurz davor die Macht zu erlangen.

Sudeki is een welkome verrassing voor Xbox gamers. De gehele ervaring is vrij standaard maar hoe je het ook wendt of keert, het is een goede RPG. Met solide graphics en een fantastisch vechtsysteem vind ik Sudeki een prima spel. De laadtijden zijn amper te vinden en het spel duurt toch wel een dikke 15 a 20 uur voordat het uitgespeeld is. Langer zou dit spel ook niet moeten duren. Het is nu eenmaal niet zo'n RPG waarvan je zou zeggen dat je echt alles wilt ontdekken en elke steen en item gevonden wilt hebben. Je speelt er eenmaal doorheen en daarna misschien niet meer, alhoewel het vechtsysteem zo goed is dat het verleidend zou zijn er na een half jaar ofzo nog eens doorheen te wandelen. Gamers die sowieso een voorkeur voor RPG's hebben moeten dit spel gewoon gaan halen. Er zijn te weinig RPG's voor Xbox en dit is zeker geen teleurstelling.

Sudeki is an enigma. It has all of the components of an epic RPG yet it never manages to live up to its own potential. The combat system is totally unique but flounders in some clunky timing issues. The skill strikes are cool but few in number and lose their “wow factor” about six hours into the game. The game world is colorful and amazing to look at and the people are interesting with hours of spoken dialogue, but the story and character development are weak and you never really become part of the adventure.

It's been a long time coming, but Climax Studios' promising RPG Sudeki is finally at hand. With the Xbox RPG lineup split between some of the very best RPGs of all time (KOTOR, Morrowind) and the true dregs (Metal Dungeon anyone?), it was only a matter of time before a few average RPGs began to show up on the list to split the difference. Welcome, Sudeki, an RPG that manages to create an absolutely balls-on fantastic combat system only to stifle it with some very plodding, predictable, and overall uninspired RPG elements. That's not to say Sudeki isn't worth your hard earned bills, but buyer beware, this is not the game of the year, or even the game of the summer.

Ich fand die Xbox-Version schon recht gut. Am PC nervt mich das lahme Menügeschalte aber ziemlich und das auf Timing basierende Combosystem ist für ungeduldige Zocker die Hölle. Ganz wichtige Info: Keine Schnellspeicherfunktion!

Sudeki is een aardige actie-RPG waar echter niet te veel diepgang van verwacht moet worden.

Главный козырь игры — ее самобытность. На РС очень редко встречаются представители этого поджанра. Однако, помня о провале Final Fantasy 7 и 8, сложно предрекать шумный успех проекту, во всем им уступающему. Корявая боевая система, скоротечность и слабый саспенс оттолкнут многих. С другой стороны, приятный визуальный ряд, полуголые девушки и минимум конкурентов, напротив, привлекут малоопытных пользователей. Да и в целом Sudeki все же оставляет хорошее впечатление, хотя и не может поразить чем-то оригинальным и необычным.

Eigentlich habe ich keinen Grund, Sudeki zu spielen: Die Story ist belanglos, das Japan-Szenario aufgesetzt, das Abenteuer zu linear. Aber die Kämpfe! Wenn ich mit Ailish einen Haufen Feinde umkreise und mit Feuerbällen eindecke, dann sprengt der Effektregen den Bildschirm. Und mit Tal schnetzle ich Feinde wie in einem Actionspiel. Atempausen gibt's in den Gefechten keine, ständig ist etwas los.

Sudeki compte parmi ces jeux qui vous emportent dans un monde lointain dont on a bien du mal à se détacher. Le soft ne comporte pourtant rien de véritablement marquant, la réalisation et le gameplay sont perfectibles et l'aventure plutôt linéaire, mais on prend plaisir à découvrir cette aventure pour peu que l'on aime l'action/RPG. Un titre sympathique qui souffre surtout d'une durée de vie beaucoup trop faible.

Sudeki feels like a lightweight RPG. Yes, it certainly is stylish, but it never approaches the complexity or depth of Morrowind or similarly vast titles. Look upon this as an introduction to RPGing, or else a tasty filler to keep you occupied until the next big title comes along. It's a lot of fun, certainly, just not a lasting or ultimately fulfilling diversion. And Climax, if you need a hand generating names for your next title, I've got the deluxe edition of Scrabble here, so I'd be glad to help out…

At its core, Sudeki really is a good game. Unlike Microsoft’s previous failures, the combat in Sudeki is very enjoyable. If this was a single player game or the other players could control characters, much like Tales of Symphonia, or even if the AI showed a modicum of actual intelligence, this could’ve been one of the greatest adventures to grace the Xbox. As it is, Sudeki is a passable game. It’s much better than Azurik or Nightcaster could ever dream to be. Unfortunately, with Fable releasing very soon, it’s not as much of an evolution as I expected.

Sudeki on epäonnistunut yritys parannella japanilaisten vuosia hiomaa seikkailukaavaa täysin väärin keinoin, ja heikon esityksen kruunaa puolivalmis pc-käännös. Peli kaatuilee tiheään Atin korteilla, sekä hieman harvemmin muuten vaan. Unohtakaa kaupan hyllylle.

The world of Sudeki is actually two. The lands were rent--light from shadow--long ago, when a dark god decided that he'd rather not share with his kindhearted brother. The light god, Tetsu, appealed to the peoples of the world for aid, and four legendary heroes rose to strike down the evil deity, Heigou, to restore peace to Sudeki. That was several hundred years past, and since all ancient evil is unionized and contract-bound to rise again, you can bet that Heigou's resurgence draws near. This is where you come in. You'll take control of the swordsman, Tal; the sorceress, Ailish; the beast-woman, Buki; and the gun-toting scientist named Elco to fight and protect the land of Haskilia from invasion--so that you can ultimately save the world of Sudeki. Unfortunately, along with crowds of evil creatures, you'll have to contend with an often-cumbersome battle system and some odd design choices that rob much of the adventure of its luster.

Sudeki isn't in the same league as Japanese RPGs such as Final Fantasy VII and Tales Of Symphonia, or the more-recent US-developed World Of Warcraft. What it does have are hundreds of NPCs (some with dire accents and acting), side quests and hidden treasures, along with plenty of weapon, magic and character upgrades, plus eye-smacking graphics that approach the visual splendour of those titles. However, RPGs are all about the battles and level-ups, and Sudeki's clunky real-time combat system spoils the game and brought ruin to my keyboard.

Sudeki has a solid foundation on which to build a worthwhile sequel--namely, its combat system. It's obvious that the bulk of Climax's efforts were spent on making that element of the game compelling, and it paid off. I found myself wanting to continue playing the game, despite being turned off by pretty much all of its other elements. The character development system is pretty nice, too--it gives you enough options as to how you want your character to develop, but it doesn't overwhelm you.

The battle between good and evil is as old as time itself, so it’s no surprise to see it showing up in Microsoft’s new action/RPG, Sudeki. The gods of light and dark are vying for control of Haskilla, yet it's up to a soldier, a princess, a scientist and a beast-woman to ultimately decide the fate of the world.

Au final donc, et malgré ces défauts "de jeunesse" pourrait-on dire, Sudeki aurait pu briguer une place de choix sur nos PC européens bien malheureux en ce qui concerne le RPG japonais. Seulement, et comme il est coutume avec les adaptations de jeux destinés aux consoles de salon, on se retrouve devant des interfaces buggées, des problèmes de configuration, et surtout une perte de qualité globale. De plus, il vous incombera de posséder une machine performante, le titre se révélant assez gourmand en ressource. Original, relativement beau, et immersif, le soft de Climax souffre donc de ces défauts techniques ainsi que d'une durée de vie vraiment courte, se situant aux alentours de la dizaine d'heures, ce qui ne laisse pas beaucoup de temps à la maturation du scénario. Dommage. Une entrée en matière du RPG agréable, malmenée par un portage maladroit.

Sudeki is an RPG, and a console RPG at that -- unlike Morrowind or KOTOR, which adapted PC RPG mechanics to a console format, Sudeki takes virtually all of its cues from Japanese-derived console games. There are notable exceptions to this in the gameplay, which we'll get to in a minute, but the story follows standard Japanese RPG tropes, the characters have the big eyes and wacky hair typically found in Japanese RPG designs, and the highly linear progression through the game is, again, something fans of Japanese RPGs are used to by now.

C'est d'autant dommage au regard du moteur 3D qui lui s'avêre réussi ! Aucun effet d'escalier, des textures net et sans bavures et cela malgré parfois le nombres impressionants de monstres qui nous assaillent. En revanche les personnages sont totalement décevant. Leur modélisation manque de vie,ils ressemblent à des figurines en plastiques pour jouets américains. C'est bien régretable au regard de l'ambiance qui pour une fois se démarque des productions Japonaises et qui veut instaurer une touche qui leur est propre. La bande son m'a enthousiasmé, malgré des musiques un peu trop discrétes lors de nos parties, les bruitages méritent de bons amplis pour se créer chez soi sa propre atmosphére. Mais malgré quelques qualités Sudeki n'est pas un jeu extraodinaire. Une fois le pad en main on se rend trés vite compte de sa répétition,nous proposant en permanence la même chose, sans rajouter qu'il n'est pas trés jouable et que la diffilcuté est parfois trop hard. J'ai trés vite laissé tombé !
