The Russian Base - Info


Update - 30th June 2021


 Information 

This game is long, non-linear, difficult and highly based on combat. Not suitable for "no meds" challenges.

## Secrets: 3
## Minimum time: around 1 hour and 40 of gameplay (played by the author), and around 4-7 hours for blind gameplays
## Enemies: around 100 enemies (humans and animals)

## Combat: combat is meant to be slightly different than normal. Enemies react faster and more reactive. Therefore, they're more dangerous. Sometimes it's required to exploit the geometries of the rooms to strategically kill some enemies before others, or to protect yourself from more than one man with gun. You cannot afford to simply sidejump left and right in front of them or rolljump over their head continuously.

 Story

"The Russian Base - A re-imagining of the events that happened in Chronicles.

Russia, 1998: Lara learns about the Spear of Destiny, the danger it poses and the plan of the Russian Mafia to recover it through a coverage, using their secret stock of containers that is already used to import weapons and illegal goods. An old submarine is rested on a special pool inside the base, waiting to be repaired for a trip deep into the sea. But Lara knows that the danger of this mysterious artefact is too much, even for her. No one should remove it from its resting place. Let alone, the Russian Mafia. 

Lara infiltrates the base stealthily via hiding in a container, and shell try everything to sabotage their plans, from facing the corrupted workers to literally making explode the whole complex and the old submarine. While, hopefully, recovering some top secret information about the Spear."
