Action Forms Ltd. at a Glance

Action Forms Ltd. operated as a Ukrainian video game developer based in Kyiv from 1997 until 2010. The studio has produced nine titles listed on PlayPile, with no games where they served as publisher. Their catalog spans three decades, starting with three releases in the 1990s, four in the 2000s, and a single entry in the 2010s. The company appears dormant since 2011. Their work leans heavily toward specific genres. Shooter games make up the largest portion of their library with eight titles. They also developed five simulators, three sports games, two adventure games, and one title each for puzzle, strategy, and arcade categories. Almost all their output targets PC on Microsoft Windows, though they also released games for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Android, iOS, PlayStation Portable, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. The average rating for their seven reviewed titles sits at 64.4 out of 100. This score reflects a consistent pattern of good reviews rather than critical acclaim. Six of their rated games fall into the 60-79 range, while one title scored in the mixed 40-59 bracket. No titles reached the great threshold of 80 or higher. The Carnivores series stands out as their most successful line of work. The original Carnivores from 1998 holds a 73.1 rating, followed by Carnivores: Ice Age at 65 and Carnivores 2 at 63.2. Other notable entries include Vivisector: Beast Within from 2005 with a score of 69.9 and Cryostasis from 2009 rated at 69.7. Their final known release, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter in August 2010, received a lower score of 60. The studio did not sustain high output levels after the mid-2000s, releasing only one game in the 2010s before ceasing operations.
