The title of Kojima Productions finds in the work of Alfina Gamers a similarity that stands out for its great aesthetic and playable similarities.
Man Standing is the first clone video game of Death Stranding. Alfina Gamers, developer of the work, was able to receive legal approval from Steam to publish the title this December 10, as we can see in the game's product sheet in the Valve store.
The game, a clear satire to the work of Hideo Kojima, should not be taken too seriously because it seeks precisely that, serve as a parody at all levels of what the video game of Kojima Productions has meant. Just take a look at the description of the game, which does not take itself too seriously: "The team of ALFINA GAMERS and ALFINA WORLD GAME PUBLISHING are delighted to present a unique gaming experience", with "unique" as a word highlighted in bold. "Prepare for a natural challenge, with incredible dangers, serious enemies and, most importantly, yourself," they comment.
It is not for everybody; borrow elements from Heavy Rain
The gameplay features an open survival video game where the protagonist must carry heavy packages on their backs that belong to the only surviving person in that world. This person, "in a schizophrenic delirium," walks everywhere to recover the memories of people who have left the world. It will not be easy, they warn, for the dangers that await us.
And what exactly awaits us? “Next gen” graphics, according to their estimates – the system requirements are exaggerated – with the “most advanced graphic engine” of today; an argument that delves into philosophical issues, but it is not for everyone.
Man Standing does not forget the social component, with in-game interactions with other beings to whom we can leave messages. The duration is approximately more than 40 hours of departure in “an immersive and addictive gameplay”.
In the synopsis they recognize that “the game borrows some mechanics from other games; we clearly refer to Heavy Rain, ”by Quantic Dream.
All this and much more is what you expect in Man Standing, whose validity on Steam is probably not much as soon as it goes on sale. The game, of course, will have achievements and will be released worldwide for a price yet to be determined. Although the content is a joke, its availability is not. To play it we will need an AMD Ryzen 3600 processor; 16 GB RAM and an AMD Radeon Vega 64 GPU.
