an excellent if simple tactical rpg - great character design and fun fights - suffers from the usual rpg flaw where you need to know if a character is about to leave your party forever or you will lose all items given to them - sometimes I'm not sure if the game is trying to take itself seriously or embracing the comedy - and there are of course some bugs that never got fixed and potentially crash the game which prevents me from giving it a solid 10

Gorky 17 (or Odium) is a really nice classic turnbased action-horror-combat game. It has a great atmosphere even with its outdated resolution. The music is great and to me the background graphics still have their quality. The voice-acting is pretty bad but tolerable, nothing too distracting. The story is nothing special but it does manage to keep you interested and immersed. I also like the cutscenes used to introduce the boss enemies. The good thing about the gameplay is that it really needs you to think about your strategy. You'll almost always be short on ammunition and meet new enemies which require different tactics. The boss battles can be frustrating, but quite satisfying when you manage to get a victory. Get it, especially when it's on sale (which it is very often).

If you like turn based games such as X-Com then this game is for you. The game has pretty bad dialogue and is bit short, but it is still worth trying. It has role playing elements and mix of horror from resident evil. This game surprised me, when I picked it up from bargain pin.
