Nako\u013eko ma tento rok v\u00fdrazne zaujali hry spracovan\u00e9 ako interakt\u00edvne filmy s prvkami \u00e1zijskej kult\u00fary, Road To Empress II som si nemohol necha\u0165 ujs\u0165. Napriek tomu, \u017ee som prv\u00fd diel s\u00e9rie nehral, zauj\u00edmalo ma, \u010di dok\u00e1\u017ee pon\u00faknu\u0165 p\u00fatav\u00fd pr\u00edbeh aj bez znalosti predch\u00e1dzaj\u00facich udalost\u00ed a \u010di vo mne po dohran\u00ed zanech\u00e1 siln\u00fd dojem. Z\u00e1rove\u0148 ma zauj\u00edmalo, do akej miery dok\u00e1\u017ee pribl\u00ed\u017ei\u0165 stredovek\u00fa \u010d\u00ednsku kult\u00faru. Po dohran\u00ed m\u00f4\u017eem poveda\u0165, \u017ee Road To Empress II v oboch smeroch obst\u00e1l. Aspo\u0148 z v\u00e4\u010d\u0161ej \u010dasti. Po\u010fme sa teda na cel\u00fd projekt pozrie\u0165 trochu bli\u017e\u0161ie.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Po kr\u00e1tkej rekapitul\u00e1cii udalost\u00ed z prvej hry sa op\u00e4\u0165 stret\u00e1vame s hlavnou hrdinkou Wu Yuanzhao. V prvom dieli sa jej podarilo dosta\u0165 do bezprostrednej bl\u00edzkosti cis\u00e1ra a jeho rodiny, n\u00e1js\u0165 si priate\u013eov aj mu\u017eov svojho srdca. Po tomto vzostupe v\u0161ak nasledoval tvrd\u00fd p\u00e1d, po ktorom stoj\u00ed pred rozhodnut\u00edm \u2013 pok\u00fasi\u0165 sa o n\u00e1vrat alebo utiec\u0165 a za\u010da\u0165 nov\u00fd \u017eivot. Pr\u00edbeh je vo\u013ene in\u0161pirovan\u00fd osudom jedinej \u010d\u00ednskej cis\u00e1rovnej Wu Zetian. Historick\u00fa presnos\u0165 v\u0161ak hodnoti\u0165 nebudem, ke\u010f\u017ee som sa tejto t\u00e9me nikdy podrobnej\u0161ie nevenoval a pre samotn\u00fd pr\u00edbeh by to bolo sk\u00f4r kontraprodukt\u00edvne. Ove\u013ea viac ma zauj\u00edmalo, ako funguj\u00fa jednotliv\u00e9 dejov\u00e9 l\u00ednie. Hra toti\u017e pon\u00faka dve z\u00e1sadn\u00e9 cesty \u2013 tr\u00f3n alebo slobodu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Najprv sa pozrime na hlavn\u00fa pr\u00edbehov\u00fa l\u00edniu. V nej sledujeme Yuanzhao na ceste sp\u00e4\u0165 do pal\u00e1ca, kde sa sna\u017e\u00ed z\u00edska\u0165 priaze\u0148 nov\u00e9ho panovn\u00edka Li Zhiho a postupne sa prepracova\u0165 a\u017e na samotn\u00fd vrchol moci. T\u00e1to cesta je v\u0161ak ove\u013ea t\u0155nistej\u0161ia, ne\u017e by sa mohlo na prv\u00fd poh\u013ead zda\u0165. Hoci sa niektor\u00e9 momenty miestami podobaj\u00fa na historick\u00fa telenovelu so v\u0161etk\u00fdm, \u010do k tomu patr\u00ed, pr\u00edbeh je z\u00e1rove\u0148 prekvapivo rozsiahly a ambici\u00f3zny. Je zauj\u00edmav\u00e9 sledova\u0165, ako sa Yuanzhao postupne pos\u00fava zo slu\u017eobn\u00edctva medzi \u0161\u013eachtu a ako mus\u00ed ka\u017ed\u00fd krok d\u00f4kladne zv\u00e1\u017ei\u0165. Niekedy toti\u017e sta\u010d\u00ed jedin\u00e1 chyba a okam\u017eite sa ocitne v nemilosti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Po\u010das svojej cesty op\u00e4\u0165 stret\u00e1va viacer\u00e9 zn\u00e1me tv\u00e1re. Jednotliv\u00e9 kapitoly dok\u00e1\u017eu by\u0165 dramatick\u00e9, smutn\u00e9 aj prekvapivo vtipn\u00e9. \u010c\u00edm \u010falej som sa v\u0161ak dost\u00e1val, t\u00fdm viac som si uvedomoval, \u017ee Yuanzhao nie je klasickou hrdinkou bojuj\u00facou proti zloduchom. Jej hlavn\u00fdm hnac\u00edm motorom s\u00fa vlastn\u00e9 amb\u00edcie a cesta za nimi si \u010dasto vy\u017eaduje bolestiv\u00e9 obete. Koncov je v hre obrovsk\u00e9 mno\u017estvo a mnoh\u00e9 z nich patria medzi tie menej pr\u00edjemn\u00e9. O to zauj\u00edmavej\u0161ie v\u0161ak bolo sledova\u0165 alternat\u00edvne v\u00fdsledky, ktor\u00e9 ukazuj\u00fa udalosti z odli\u0161nej perspekt\u00edvy. Neraz som mal pocit, \u017ee keby sa Yuanzhao v ur\u010dit\u00fdch momentoch rozhodla inak, mohla pre\u017ei\u0165 ove\u013ea pokojnej\u0161\u00ed a \u0161\u0165astnej\u0161\u00ed \u017eivot po boku \u010dloveka, ktor\u00e9ho skuto\u010dne milovala. Samotn\u00fd pr\u00edbeh je spracovan\u00fd ve\u013emi dobre a jeho grad\u00e1cia funguje v\u00fdborne. Postupne naber\u00e1 na intenzite a bez v\u00e4\u010d\u0161\u00edch probl\u00e9mov si dok\u00e1zal udr\u017ea\u0165 moju pozornos\u0165 a\u017e do z\u00e1vere\u010dn\u00fdch titulkov napriek po\u010diato\u010dn\u00fdm predsudkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nieko\u013eko nedostatkov sa v\u0161ak n\u00e1jde. Najv\u00fdraznej\u0161\u00edm probl\u00e9mom je recyklovanie niektor\u00fdch sc\u00e9n pri viacer\u00fdch koncoch. Pokia\u013e budete chcie\u0165 presk\u00fama\u0165 v\u0161etky mo\u017enosti, pomerne r\u00fdchlo si v\u0161imnete, \u017ee ur\u010dit\u00e9 sekvencie sa opakuj\u00fa a \u010dasom m\u00f4\u017eu za\u010da\u0165 p\u00f4sobi\u0165 \u00fanavne. Ob\u010das som sa tie\u017e pristihol pri tom, \u017ee som prem\u00fd\u0161\u013eal nad podmienkami po\u010das nat\u00e1\u010dania. Kost\u00fdmy s\u00edce vyzeraj\u00fa v\u00fdborne, no ve\u013emi \u010dasto je vidite\u013en\u00e1 para pred \u00fastami hercov. Ver\u00edm, \u017ee produkcia prebiehala bez probl\u00e9mov, no i\u0161lo o detail, ktor\u00fd mi pravidelne p\u00fatal pozornos\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Najv\u00e4\u010d\u0161\u00edm probl\u00e9mom hlavnej l\u00ednie je v\u0161ak jej d\u013a\u017eka. Pr\u00edbeh je rozdelen\u00fd do 25 kapitol a pri snahe vidie\u0165 v\u0161etok obsah sa hern\u00fd \u010das m\u00f4\u017ee vy\u0161plha\u0165 na viac ne\u017e p\u00e4tn\u00e1s\u0165 hod\u00edn. Na interakt\u00edvny film je to pod\u013ea m\u0148a jednoducho prive\u013ea. Tvorcovia pokojne mohli pr\u00edbeh rozdeli\u0165 na dve samostatn\u00e9 hry alebo druh\u00fa polovicu vyda\u0165 nesk\u00f4r ako roz\u0161\u00edrenie. V s\u00fa\u010dasnej podobe p\u00f4sob\u00ed ako obrovsk\u00fd hlavn\u00fd chod, ktor\u00fd s\u00edce chut\u00ed dobre, no ku koncu u\u017e m\u00e1te pocit, \u017ee ho nedok\u00e1\u017eete dojes\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Za zmienku v\u0161ak stoj\u00ed aj ved\u013eaj\u0161ia pr\u00edbehov\u00e1 l\u00ednia, ktor\u00e1 predstavuje alternat\u00edvnu realitu. Yuanzhao sa v nej rozhodne vzia\u0165 osud do vlastn\u00fdch r\u00fak a unikn\u00fa\u0165 svojmu predur\u010deniu. Osud v\u0161ak nezaprie svoj zmysel pre ir\u00f3niu. Hrdinka je otr\u00e1ven\u00e1 a jedinou \u0161ancou na z\u00e1chranu je sta\u0165 sa \u0161pi\u00f3nkou, ktorej \u00falohou bude odstr\u00e1ni\u0165 princa Weia. Ako v\u0161ak b\u00fdva zvykom, Yuanzhao op\u00e4\u0165 sleduje predov\u0161etk\u00fdm vlastn\u00e9 z\u00e1ujmy. D\u00f4le\u017eit\u00fa \u00falohu pritom zohr\u00e1va aj jej minulos\u0165 spojen\u00e1 s princom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prizn\u00e1m sa, \u017ee t\u00e1to dejov\u00e1 l\u00ednia ma bavila viac ne\u017e hlavn\u00fd pr\u00edbeh. Dynamika medzi postavami funguje v\u00fdborne, udalosti maj\u00fa lep\u0161ie tempo a v\u010faka pribli\u017ene \u0161tvorhodinovej d\u013a\u017eke pr\u00edbeh nikdy nestr\u00e1ca sp\u00e1d. Navy\u0161e na m\u0148a Yuanzhao p\u00f4sobila viac ako hrdinka a menej ako bezoh\u013eadn\u00e1 manipul\u00e1torka. Najv\u00e4\u010d\u0161\u00ed rozdiel medzi oboma l\u00edniami v\u0161ak spo\u010d\u00edva v tom, ako dopadn\u00fa osudy jednotliv\u00fdch post\u00e1v. V porovnan\u00ed so \u017eivotom na cis\u00e1rskom dvore sa tu mnoh\u00ed do\u010dkaj\u00fa podstatne lep\u0161\u00edch koncov. Takmer to p\u00f4sob\u00ed, akoby sta\u010dilo necha\u0165 niektor\u00e9 udalosti plyn\u00fa\u0165 prirodzen\u00fdm smerom a v\u00fdsledok by bol pre v\u0161etk\u00fdch priaznivej\u0161\u00ed. Mo\u017eno budem v men\u0161ine, no pr\u00e1ve t\u00e1to ved\u013eaj\u0161ia l\u00ednia mi pri\u0161la zauj\u00edmavej\u0161ia a v niektor\u00fdch momentoch dokonca silnej\u0161ia ne\u017e hlavn\u00fd pr\u00edbeh. Nech\u00fdba pritom ani nieko\u013eko skuto\u010dne podaren\u00fdch humorn\u00fdch momentov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u010co sa post\u00e1v t\u00fdka, je to vskutku ve\u013emi zauj\u00edmav\u00fd mix charakterov. \u010co v\u0161ak zo za\u010diatku p\u00f4sob\u00ed ako klasick\u00e1 kombin\u00e1cia jasn\u00fdch hrdinov a zloduchov sa v druhej polovici hlavnej dejovej l\u00ednie za\u010dne meni\u0165 na nie\u010do \u00faplne in\u00e9. Najzauj\u00edmavej\u0161ou postavou je pr\u00e1ve v\u010faka tomu samotn\u00e1 Yuanzhao, ktor\u00e1 sa postupne z celkom sympatickej hlavnej hrdinky za\u010dne meni\u0165 na siln\u00fa manipulat\u00edvnu mrchu, ktor\u00e1 urob\u00ed \u010doko\u013evek, aby dosiahla svoje. Nie je v\u0161ak jedin\u00e1, ktor\u00e1 si svoju moc buduje t\u00fdmto \u0161t\u00fdlom. Vz\u0165ahy medzi postavami s\u00fa tak \u010dasto ako obrovsk\u00e1 \u0161achov\u00e1 partia, kde m\u00f4\u017ee by\u0165 v\u00ed\u0165az len jeden. P\u00e1dy jednotliv\u00fdch zloduchov v\u010faka tomu p\u00f4sobia ve\u013emi intenz\u00edvne a spr\u00e1vne vybudovan\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pochvalu si v\u0161ak nezasl\u00fa\u017ei iba pr\u00edbeh. Road To Empress II vyzer\u00e1 po produk\u010dnej str\u00e1nke fantasticky. Kost\u00fdmy, kulisy aj hereck\u00e9 v\u00fdkony p\u00f4sobia ve\u013emi presved\u010divo a je vidie\u0165, \u017ee tvorcovia do projektu vlo\u017eili maximum \u00fasilia. Atmosf\u00e9ra historickej \u010c\u00edny funguje v\u00fdborne a dok\u00e1\u017ee hr\u00e1\u010da pohlti\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jedin\u00e9 momenty, ktor\u00e9 p\u00f4sobia trochu amat\u00e9rsky, s\u00fa niektor\u00e9 sc\u00e9ny smrti. \u010casto vyzeraj\u00fa ve\u013emi podobne a pou\u017eit\u00e9 efekty nedosahuj\u00fa \u00farove\u0148 zvy\u0161ku produkcie. Vzh\u013eadom na kvalitu v\u0161etk\u00e9ho ostatn\u00e9ho som v\u0161ak ochotn\u00fd tento nedostatok prehliadnu\u0165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ve\u013emi dobre funguje aj hudobn\u00e1 str\u00e1nka. Skladby presne vystihuj\u00fa n\u00e1ladu jednotliv\u00fdch sc\u00e9n a bez probl\u00e9mov podporuj\u00fa dr\u00e1mu, romantiku, akciu aj sm\u00fatok. Nejde s\u00edce o soundtrack, ktor\u00fd by som si pravidelne p\u00fa\u0161\u0165al samostatne, no po\u010das hrania odv\u00e1dza svoju pr\u00e1cu v\u00fdborne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u010co sa t\u00fdka bonusov\u00e9ho obsahu, hr\u00e1\u010di m\u00f4\u017eu hlasova\u0165 za ob\u013e\u00faben\u00e9 aj neob\u013e\u00faben\u00e9 postavy prostredn\u00edctvom ude\u013eovania ru\u017e\u00ed a h\u00e1dzania vajec.

Po dokon\u010den\u00ed hry sa odomkne e\u0161te nieko\u013eko \u010fal\u0161\u00edch bonusov, no nejde o obsah, ktor\u00fd by v\u00fdraznej\u0161ie menil celkov\u00fd z\u00e1\u017eitok. Pred k\u00fapou v\u0161ak odpor\u00fa\u010dam najsk\u00f4r odohra\u0165 prv\u00fd diel The Road To Empress. \u00davodn\u00e1 rekapitul\u00e1cia s\u00edce dok\u00e1\u017ee pribl\u00ed\u017ei\u0165 z\u00e1kladn\u00e9 udalosti, no nie je dostato\u010dne podrobn\u00e1 na to, aby ste si zapam\u00e4tali v\u0161etky d\u00f4le\u017eit\u00e9 vz\u0165ahy a postavy. \u010casto som preto prem\u00fd\u0161\u013eal nad t\u00fdm, kto je kto a ak\u00fa \u00falohu v pr\u00edbehu zohr\u00e1va. Postupne som sa s\u00edce zorientoval, no prv\u00fd diel by celkov\u00fd z\u00e1\u017eitok nepochybne zlep\u0161il. Road To Empress II je zauj\u00edmav\u00fd historick\u00fd interakt\u00edvny film, ktor\u00fd s\u00edce pravdepodobne nemo\u017eno pova\u017eova\u0165 za historicky presn\u00fd, no dok\u00e1\u017ee zauja\u0165 svoj\u00edm pr\u00edbehom, postavami aj produk\u010dn\u00fdm spracovan\u00edm.
