Pratique avec les chiens de garde: Londres de la Légion
If you’ve been to London, you’ve been on camera; England’s capital is the most surveilled city in Europe. Regardless of your viewpoint on public surveillance, there’s no debating that London provides a compelling digital playground for Chiens de garde‘ signature brand of techno-stealth gameplay. Following the tales of San Francisco’s Marcus Holloway in Chiens de garde 2 and Chicago’s Aiden Pearce in the original, it’s Chiens de garde: Légion‘s London, and its nearly limitless cast of playable characters, who define an entire city’s struggle to shake off its newly oppressive, corrupt regime.
In a recent hands-on playthrough, I experienced several hours of Chiens de garde: Légion. Without spoiling too much, the game’s tense opening sets up returning digital resistance group Dedsec’s UK presence, and how they’re blamed for a major incident causing panic in the streets of London. It also sets up the ability for much more direct combat and gunplay than previous Chiens de garde entrées, including some really cool contextual melee takedowns.
But that doesn’t mean Chiens de garde is turning into a full-blown shooter. How you play is a combination of player choice and… choice of player. Oui, you can recruit and play as nearly anyone in the city; during my playthrough I ran missions as a construction worker, a foul-mouthed football hooligan, even a bespoke-suited, rocket car-driving spy who’d look at home at MI5. Each character possesses its own weapon/ability wheel mapping to the resources at their disposal.
As I progressed through missions large and small, I found the most success when I played to my character’s strengths. The spy slid in and out of restricted zones coolly, and had no problem permanently dispatching a hapless guard with a silenced round. When I tackled an infiltration mission with the football hooligan, I figured why not, let’s go in guns blazing. Et ça a marché! It was just… loud. Even the yob’s “stealth takedown” is a headbutt.
While I appreciated the flexibility and the ability to be lethal and direct when it felt convenient, I had the most fun using smartphone spy tricks I honed in the first Chiens de garde et Chiens de garde 2: surveilling the scene via hacked security cams and drones, setting traps for patrolling guards to blunder into, then sneaking up and knocking out a few on my own. nouveau à,,en,Ensuite, nous avons des offres exclusives impressionnants pour vous,,en,fait ses débuts deux packs de démarrage flambant neuf mettant en vedette tous les éléments essentiels dont vous avez besoin pour commencer à alimenter votre imagination,,en,Les deux packs comprennent la,,en,application elle-même,,en,une tenue avatar Xbox exclusif,,en,et le bonus en application monnaie - le tout à un prix d'aubaine,,en,Voici un aperçu de plus près chaque paquet,,en,Trendy Tycoon Starter Pack,,en,Habillez-vous pour impressionner avec une tenue tout nouveau,,en,créé exclusivement pour,,en,Les joueurs sur Xbox One,,en,Après avoir acheté ce pack,,en,vous serez en mesure de personnaliser votre avatar avec des fils à motifs diamant élégant et une chaîne d'or unique, avant de plonger dans des milliers de jeux générés par les utilisateurs gratuitement sur,,en,maintenant que vous regardez la partie,,en,vous serez en mesure de vivre la vie d'un magnat trop,,en,comprend également,,en,plus un montant supplémentaire,,en Chiens de garde: Légion, I found great value in a deployable spider bot, which allowed me to remotely sneak into facilities and scramble around server rooms to secure data while my actual character sat safely out of harm’s way.
A fun “do it your way” highlight for me – in one mission I found a tech point that I just couldn’t reach – so on a lark I summoned a large construction drone, jumped on it, and ghost rode my way up to cash in the cache. In a game about hacking, feeling like I hacked my way to solution felt very empowering.
Maybe it’s because we’re living in a time where travel is so out of reach, but more than anything, I enjoyed playing in a city that was so recognizable. Chiens de garde: Légion‘s London contains real neighborhoods such as Camden, Islington, and Southwark, places you may recognize such as Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, and of course Big Ben and Parliament. Tube stops serve as fast travel points, which I found to be a nice touch. And yes, you can boost an iconic double-decker TfL bus.
All too quickly, my playthrough came to an end, though I could’ve just cruised around London for hours, seeing the sights and recruiting a diverse cast of characters (with some very enjoyable accents) to Dedsec. There are so many ways to loosen the grip of London’s tormentors, and so many different styles to do it with, Chiens de garde: Légion finds a way to be your cup of tea.
