Cool Aesthetic; Terrible Game
I don't usually write reviews, but seeing as "Slain!" released today, I thought I'd go ahead and try and save some interested folks some money. With that said, where to begin? At the beginning, i suppose. So I load open the game, and BAM! Immediately I'm sitting at the menu screen, no production credits, no intro, nothing. Okay, a little non-traditional, but no big deal, right? You got a nice background art, the big "Slain!" title card, and some menu options: New game, Continue, Options, Credits. Seems fine. I scroll through each option and the first thing I notice is how unresponsive the menu control is. Yes, they managed to mess up the menu control. Often pushing the arrow keys doesn't change the highlighted option. And if you scroll down below "Credits", the menu highlighter will disappear all together, as if highlighting a secret, invisible option. But it's not, it's just gone. To make matters worse, several options in the menu don't even work. Selecting "Credits" simply causes my game to freeze. And inside of the "Options" menu, it does not allow me to enter the "Input" menu. But whatever, the menu is bad, who cares, right? It's all the about the gameplay! And man, is the gameplay terrible! Remember when I said the menus were unwieldy? Your character is even worse! The movement is incredibly strange: simply tapping or pushing the key does not cause you to move, instead, you must hold the key down momentarily. This makes edging forward (i.e. to the edge of a platform for a jump) or backing up (i.e. to evade an enemy) difficult. You do have a backdash though, although it is very sluggish as well, and only seems to work about half the time anyways. Running out of space, time for quickies. Vague tutorial tells you nothing. Soundtrack was pretty repetitive (I love Celtic Frost!). Combat is VERY simplistic (press Q, repeat). Lots of visual glitches. Spelling errors (though as tho). Lots of others If you're looking for a game in this style try Odallus instead.
Hilft dir das weiter?
