it just...works!
Are you seaching for a cheap, minimalistic and yet somewhat stylishly monochromatic FUN gaming experience? search no more, this is just it. I saw this little Devolver Digital gem in homepage. Actually, the cover artwork wasn't even great, but i read on. The description and a couple of screens - didn't even watch the trailer - intrigued me enough since, well, I had a 300+ GOG library and countless GREAT GAMES old and new still to play but had neither ENOUGH TIME on my hands to choose one, or the state of mind to embark on an epic quest, emotionally or mentally. I was tired from work and had half a hour before dinner. So, out of an impulse, bought this game for 1.50 euros. What could go wrong, right? Worst case scenario, I'd have lost the money for a coffee at the bar. Sooner than expected I was late for dinner because this little platform has an undeniable force which hooks you in, from the very start. The more you play, the more YOU WANT to continue playing, it's simple, direct, challanging and rewarding. 4 lives, 1 button to jump and shoot and that's all you need to face the great leap of faith into nothingness. The simple graphics manage to be neat and somewhat funny even being REALLY minimalistic, the game has a style and it gets to you from the get-go. There's not much more to say: I could describe it further, but why should I? It's so cheap you could see for yourself if it's the kind of fast-to-love gaming mechanic that you need in your day to bring back arcade into your life. With a salvo of loud and pointless gunshots from your heels.
Is this helpful to you?
