Dark Years

Without a doubt the best Iranian game I ever played! It features: -Bad graphic -Hilarious bad voice acting. (Even I could have written it better using my broken English) -Nonsensical puzzles -More bugs than a bethesda game on release -Quite nice hand drawn cut-scenes, which was obviously not made by the same people as the rest of this game, as the texts bobbles in these scenes features grammatically correctly written dialog, while the voice actors who are narrating the same scenes are still reading nonsensical dialog out loud. -Dreadful controls, which are barely tolerable while out in the open and nearly game breaking when moving in cramped spaces. -The music’s nice though. However I also laughed out load many times. Below is a list of some of my favorite moments of the game (Spoiler Warning): - A NPC advices one of the protagonists to disguise himself as a “British count” (according to the subtitles) which the voice actor pronounce as a “British cunt” - The Lond...

I've not finished this game yet but I bought it at 90% discount for 1,29 euro and 2 euros would be a fair price. You will not get any professional production value except for the music and the pictures in the loading screen, but you will get a game where the making is all heart and the development seems to be driven by a single developer wanting to tell a story. I don't know if the story in the game is any good yet, but the history about the 1953 Iranian coup d'état is something you should know about especially if you are in the West with knowledge about Iran only from your media. The game has awful English voice acting, poor graphics, and awful controls but it does nothing intentionally to annoy you by repetitions, backtracking and other known tricks. It could have benefited greatly from professional resources in regards of dialogue, controls, graphics etc. but neither Hollywood nor Teheran would ever fund it. At this point the developer seams to want me to know who Mohammed Mosa...

What is this thing? It is awful, laggy, uncontrollable, unplayable. Tried to give game a try a few times, but I failed.

NOTE: Despite my lambasting of this particular game in this review, similar content / characters / and setting is better done in a more recent point-and-click style / adventure game from the same developers, located here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/630170/Murder_In_Tehrans_Alleys_1933/ The presentation of the story there is much better suited to that genre of game, and the voice acting is far more consistent. That being said, on with Dark Years... I thought the setting of this game seemed interesting and I am a big fan of detective / noir / pulp style storylines, so I was incredibly disappointed to see just how low quality this game is. I can handle and even admire a low quality game if it's rough around the edges but still fun to play but the translation on this game and some of the voiceacting is downright comedic in how bad it is. Although the voice acting in the trailer on Steam sounds fine enough let me assure you the actual game's voice acting is BAAAAAAD. One of ...

An absolute tour de force of action, drama and mystery. AAA studios, take a look! And see what true kinematic gaming looks like!

a messy and ugly game which is basically a propaganda media for the Islamic regime that rules with iron fist!

What the hell did I just play?

you piece of shet this game sucks

why couldn't they just make it a regular point and click adventure and hire some decent voice actors?

bought this game when it came out, 5 years later and i still have trouble
