Curse Episodes is a Half-Life 2 single player total conversion : a mix of physics based combat, puzzles and exploration. In the first episode you can explore an egyptian necropolis and kill mummies, monsters with a morning star.
This mod is one of the Rare mods where I can see such potential and such detail. I can clearly see that the people who worked on this actually used their time and put in a lot of effort. The Idea is excellent, all it needs now is continuity and story. I recommend the Devs to come back and take their time to finish the mod this year. I assure them that they will make the top 5 MOTY if they take their time to work hard and to release more. Why this mod can be dead is beyond me because it's really something new, not a shooter but focus on Egyptian magic? Brilliant Concept. Wish you luck, devs.
CURSE. Saying not really much about the mod so I checked it out.
First i was really sceptic. Egypt.. mummies and duh.. the fighting system really needs some fine touch, but if you overlook those little mistakes its a great mod with potential. The puzzles are good and the mod design is something like the best what I've seen so far. Great textures. Great models. Great effects. etc.. etc... One of the best TC's I've seen so far.
Keep working on this please. :D
I'm really glad I don't look at mods before I install them because this was a very pleasant surprise.
This mod really sets itself apart with some really unique gameplay, mechanics, and, of course, the setting. The setting is extremely well done with gorgeous models, sound and textures all of which were of the highest quality. The concept was neat and the maps were well created. I wish a bit more story came through, as for the most part you just sort of wander through the maps. I think the different combat is a little strange, but very interesting and not bad, just different.
Overall this is a must play if for nothing other than the perfected atmosphere.
Нууу... мало во всём, а так идея прикольная...
CURSE is good in concept, but in practice it fails in practice.
Don’t get me wrong, this mod did a great job on custom textures and stuff. Switching stances also was a cool idea for me, but the control was very awkward. You are also locked on to one enemy at a time and there is no way to change target, I think.
I don’t even get the story, like all I do is just wondering around until I find another portal. Hell, there’s no backtracking either.
The majority of the enemy you face are zombies and, on occasions, archers. That makes the game quite a breeze, really.
Very good mod. Great atmosphere and music. I can strongly recommend this mod.
Short, but amazing.
Fun, but is this dead now?
