"It makes the right things straightforward," Chet Faliszek told me this month about WoW cataclysm Gold. Faliszek was a part of each of the WoW Cataclysm Classic games at Valve and is now spending his working at his own studio Stray Bombay, building a brand new game that is inspired by WoW named The Anacrusis. The game is a co-op shooter that incorporates some of the core WoW gameplay in a science-fiction setting that is reminiscent of the original Star Trek. "I am still seeing games that show you unclear interfaces or a rushed tutorial which hinders your chances from inviting friends who's not familiar with the game. WoW Cataclysm Classic gets out of the way and allows you to get into the game with enjoyable."
Faliszek was responding to an issue I had asked his team and four others all of which have developed games that could be considered WoW Cataclysm Classic descendents. All over the globe, games such as Systemsic Reaction's Second Extinction, Saber Interactive's WoW Cataclysm Classic, Fatshark's Warhammer: Vermintide and Darktide as well as Ghost Ship Games' Deep Rock Galactic have roots that go all the way to WoW Cataclysm Classic, some more than others, however each is clearly in the spirit of the game. The response of the author was not unusual in the dev group I spoke with. In my discussions with five studios every team repeatedly mentioned two strengths in the game that WoW Cataclysm Classic maintains to today in the form of ease of use and replayability.
"Initially was intended to be a totally different game with any connection to WoW," Saber Lead Game Designer Dmitry Grigorenko told me. "Funny thing isthat when you design a co-operative shooter game that is based on zombies, there's a limit to the ways you could take it. At some point in the development, following another playtest, we sat with a group of people and decided, 'Okay, our game is starting to look very similar to buy WoW cataclysm Gold. Grigorenko stated that the team had begun to research the way that WoW Cataclysm Classic's famous AI Director was acting to see if Saber could develop something like it.
