Bright Memory - Episode 1 Review
Introduction: Well, this is a surprise. Bright Memory is a child between Devil May Cry, Dark Souls and Doom. It has the enemy design with the combat multiplier (B, A, S, SS, SSS) from DMC, the enemy attack pattern memorization and boss fights from Dark Souls and the frantic shooting from Doom. All this with an amazing graphical quality and design that makes me shocked to imagine only one person developed all this. Gameplay: As stated before, this game has an array of different games mechanics that mix quite well. When I started the game and it introduced mechanics, it showed some great qualities. It has a solid, albeit small, selection of guns for combat (1 shotgun, 1 submachine and 1 pistol) and a basic Sword. The guns are fun to shot, with the submachine being much more interesting than the shotgun, having better recoil and sound. The powers are cool, but would be nice to have different cooldown pools and different key binding (all use F to activate). The combat is simple and getting large multipliers (A or S or even SS) is quite simple. I only died once to a misplaced jump, the game is quite on the easy side. When talking about Environment, this is a very strict corridor shooter. Go from point A to point B. Nothing mind blowing, but works well with the gameplay offered. Story: The story is messy and it will not be the reason for you to get this game. It has potential, but nothing that caught my attention too much. Graphics Another great aspect of the game is its graphics. Characters are well detailed (particularly Shelia and the bad guy(?)) as well as enemies. Overall Feelings: Keep in mind that, since this only has Episode 1, you will have less than 1 hour per run of enjoyment. The New Game+ modes (or weeks) add nothing new to the table, so it is a very short experience. I liked what I got and the price is quite low, but your taste may not like it.
