When you die, you do lose any weapons and gadgets you may have picked up previously. Each new restart after each death gives you an all-new ship layout to explore. Also in typical rogue-fashion, the game will be procedurally generated. Playing as a clone means that each time that you die (and you will… A lot), you respawn as a new clone. Now, I have a major soft spot for rogue-lite/like games and they really are on trend at the moment. See, The Persistence isn’t just a FPS, it’s a rogue-lite game too. Well, that’s the basics of the plot anyway, but how does it play?Īt first glance, The Persistence looks very much like a very typical FPS with a Sci-Fi setting and it plays very much like one too… At first. On The Persistence, you’ll cross paths with all kinds of horrific aberrations, which you’ll need to deal with as you try to restore power to ship and get back to Earth. The ship has become severely damaged and inoperable due to it getting a bit too close to a black hole. But what’s it all about? Well, you play as a clone of a dead security officer who is on the doomed colony starship, The Persistence, where everyone on-board has died (everybody’s dead Dave).
#The persistence enhanced upgrade
It has been ‘enhanced’ for the latest gen of gaming, in a free upgrade if you already owned the game. Tighter controls, performance improvements, better graphics and so on.
But it has recently had a bit of an upgrade. The first thing to cover, ‘enhanced’ why? Well, The Persistence was originally released back in 2018… In VR too, also not in VR.
First up, I’m taking a look at The Persistence Enhanced from developer Fabrik Games, via publisher/developer Firesprite. So the next few weeks will be a tad game review heavy as I get through all I have to. Basically, I’m well behind and there’s a lot of catching up to do this end. Then I got back home, checked my emails and I had multiple games sent to me for review… Then I got a bit sick and really didn’t feel like doing much of anything. Anyway, aside from my pre-written Raiders at 40 celebrations, I just unplugged from my blog and got some much-needed family time. Nothing too special, just took the kids to the seaside for a few days.
