Happy Thursday, detectives:
Here we are one more time to quench your thirst for knowledge. In contrast to previous entries, this week were getting a bit more technical to explore the L.I.F.E. system and its impact on Pecaminosas gameplay. Complex as it sounds, it's pretty easy to break down and you'll understand it right away.
Lets start with the basics Pecaminosa is an action RPG inspired by classic titles in the style of Fallout: New Vegas. At a playable level, it means: first, that you edit the characters stats through a points system to determine their strengths and weaknesses; and second, that action happens in real time, so youre in total control of these characters actions during combat. In Pecaminosa, basically, youll draw your gun and move the cursor to point at enemies.
As John Souza, youll walk through the decadent streets of Pecaminosa talking to your informers, looking for clues and, sometimes, facing the consequences of asking too many questions. Your outcome in each of these potential situations will depend on the L.I.F.E. system, which aggregates four variables:
- Luck. It increases your chance of dodging bullets and finding money everywhere.
- Intelligence. Dialectic battles will be a piece of cake to you.
- Force. This stat enhances your physical strength and gives you more HP.
- Endurance. It increases your max. stamina, makes you faster and reduces perks cooldown.
As John Souza, your gameplay will feel different depending on the stats you upgrade the most. He might be good at negotiations with whistleblowers but a bad fighter. Or perhaps, he's a tough guy with a bare skill for conversation. Except for the boss battles, there are several ways to face each new conflict! Also, youll count on four useful Perks to get the job done. These are special passive or active abilities that appear when you reach 7 points in 2 adjacent LIFE parameters:
- Hit the Road Mack! It gives the player an AOE attack, damaging enemies on the screen with molotov cocktails for a few seconds. This perk unlocks after reaching 7 points on Intelligence and Force.
- Valentine Massacre It gives you infinite bullets for a period of time and all weapons become automatic. This perk unlocks after reaching 7 points on Luck and Endurance.
- Indiana John It increases loot dropped by enemies and breakable objects. This perk unlocks after reaching 7 points on Luck and Intelligence.
- Whats up doc It makes the player immune to all debuffs. This perk unlocks after reaching 7 points on Force and Endurance.
