Red Comrades 2 for Android

Petka and Vasily Ivanovich 2 is a classic Point- & -Click quest dedicated to Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev and the orderly Petka: the heroes, although not fictional, in the universe from the developers from SKIF are busy saving the galaxy with the help of unprecedented technologies, soldier’s ingenuity and conscientious invention.

In addition to the non-standard presentation, which changes historical figures almost beyond recognition and turns the passage into a real anecdote, it is worth noting an unusual approach to the implementation of some ideas: for example, the storyline is linear and does not imply a different ending (all events are a foregone conclusion), and during the tests you will have to meet a colossal number of references to films and literature.

Features of the game Petka and Vasily Ivanovich 2: Judgment Day

• Caricature characters with unusual stories, but noble goals related to saving the galaxy;
• The non-standard design of the scenery allows you to believe in several universes around (and even the arrival of aliens will no longer seem strange);
• The complexity grows evenly – if at the start the actions are obvious and predictable, then closer to the end you will have to constantly experiment and look for a way out of these situations;
• Hints – not provided. In the field of military glory, you will have to figure out the details around by hand;
• There are a lot of references to films, literature and characters around. Already at the start, you will have to meet with America of the 60s, and with famous Hollywood blockbusters;
• The atmosphere is curious, although it can get boring after a short period of time. Not skipping cut-scenes after restarting the puzzle is a big problem due to technical errors and malfunctions;
• And yet – an updated version of the puzzle “Petka and Vasily Ivanovich 2”, which the developers allow to download on iOS and Android, completely repeats the functionality of the HD edition that appeared on Windows, but at a price of 99 rubles. If you really want to start playing on smartphones with tablets, no one will mind!

Story and mechanics

The story in the game “Petka and Vasily Ivanovich 2” begins on “Long Island”, where the main characters appear after defeating aliens in a battle that ended in the original part of the series. After waking up near the Statue of Liberty, the characters are forced to return home, simultaneously remembering the Terminator and a new threat approaching the galaxy. But is it worth thinking so globally, when in his own village Chapaev has not yet figured out the catacombs, and the “microchip” installed for surveillance would have to be pulled out. But how? Really have to reuse the time machine?

And, although a short description of the plot hook for those who have not yet encountered the series “Petka and Vasily Ivanovich 2” looks absurd, in fact, the developers managed to link individual events together and present everything as a blockbuster with unexpected consequences.

In terms of gameplay, the second part has hardly changed compared to the original. As in the first part, the characters will have to navigate a pre-prepared map, looking at objects, putting suitable gizmos in their inventory, communicating with the characters and choosing the following actions depending on the situation. You will not be bored during the passage – as you progress through the history, the events will begin to be linked into a quickly unraveling tangle, seasoned with humor, unexpected scenes and curious references.

The only problem on the way of passing the game “Petka and Vasily Ivanovich 2” will be high difficulty. Many decisions and actions are ambiguous – you will either have to experiment or adapt to the mechanics invented by the developers. As practice suggests, if you get used to the issued roles, then it will become much easier to find solutions.

Reputation & Rating

The reputation of the series of adventure quests “Petka and Vasily Ivanovich” is strictly positive – back in 1999, critics and journalists noted the contribution of developers from SKIF and Komar Games to the industry and in a positive way described the non-standard storytelling, adult and frank humor, and non-standard principles of interaction with virtual universe. The trend with a high rating did not change after the release of Petka and Vasily Ivanovich 2 on Android and iOS: 16 years later, specialists from Buka transferred the puzzle to mobile platforms, retaining the atmosphere, presentation and history, but partially correcting the visual design by adding textures prefix HD and gaining recognition from the “younger generation”.
