Excellent jeu !

Pour les personnes qui aiment les jeux de l'époque de la NES, autant par les graphismes, les sons ainsi que la difficulté, c'est un très bon jeu ! Graphiquement "simple" (comme l'époque de la NES), le jeu est tout de même joli pour du pixel art ! On reconnait bien les décors, et dans le cas des obstacles on reconnait facilement les éléments similaire mais aux effet différents (pic venant du sol / plafond = dégats + on peut poser le bloc dessus. Boule de pic = tue directement Zoé et le bloc est détruit au contact. Ca parait anodin, mais dans énormément de jeux il n'y a pas cette différence (Par exemple Rayman 1 : vous saurez différencier quel piques vous tue en un coup et lesquels ne feront que vous infliger des dégats ? Perso j'ai pas vu la différence entre les 2). Niveau sonore, on est là aussi sur du classique NES, mais les musiques sont agréables à entendre. Pas forcément du genre à ce qu'elles restent en tête des semaines, mais sympathiques quand même. Niveau Gameplay, il n'est pas parfait. Cependant, il reste bon également de ce côté là. Je ne sais pas ce qu'il en est côté Clavier, mais côté Manette, quand on utilise les flèches plutôt que le joystick (A mon plus grand malheur, pour ce genre de jeu c'est hélas ce que je préfère...), le jeu a du mal à faire répondre les touches quand on appuie sur 2 directions en même temps. Au début ce n'est pas gênant, mais ça devient plus délicats quand vers la fin on doit sauter, appuyer sur une direction Gauche ou Droite, puis mettre un bloc donc Attaque + Haut puis très rapidement revenir en arrière, j'ai eu plusieurs morts car le perso ne revenait pas en arrière car il n'apprécie pas le Haut + autre direction. En dehors de ça, Zoé répond relativement bien aux commandes. Amoureux de la difficulté, vous allez êtes servis ! Sans être un darksouls, n'espérez pas finir votre première run en moins de 20-30 morts (perso il m'en a fallu 79 pour arriver au bout). Un jeu à essayer absolument !

Great retro-style title

If you are ancient and decrepit like myself, you remember the days of the NES and Mighty and Immortal Commodore 64 dominating the gaming landscape. The games were simple, easy to learn, yet difficult to master. Alwa's Awakening sits right in the midst of that style gameplay. Leaning on such classics as Legacy of the Wizard, Metroid, and Castlevania, AL has some great 8 bit style graphics and music, coupled with solid controls and a dose of that simple, easy to learn gameplay that marked the best of the 8 bit era of gaming. It's more of a late-08's/early 90's NES Metroidvania style (and there's even a limited edition NES port being made), hitting that peak 8 bit goodness. You play as Zoe, a young woman summoned to the land of Alwa to break Hulk Hoga- er save the land from evil. To do this, you run, jump, and slap the snot out of enemies with your big stick. Along the way, you gain new powers for your staff, which help you to solve the mild puzzles you'll face and reach new areas. It's a fun throwback to a simpler time, and Alwa's Legacy proves that you don't need top notch 3D graphics and thousands of things going on to make a great game. It's well worth the purchase price, and unlike a increasingly large chunk of GOG titles; it actually works! No crashes, no spending hours trying to find a support thread that will get you to playing, just install and play. I didn't even have to set up my Logitech F310; it defaulted settings perfectly. Just for that, I suggest supporting the dev.

A bit of charm. Just a bit.

For reference - I'm almost 50 and I've already played quite a lot of platformers. Back in the 80s and 90s. If this game was released back in the 90s for Amiga... maybe it'd have its place. Now... it feels like playing on nostalgia by doing pseudo-8-bit tunes and low-res graphics (like most of those "indie" titles do). As generic as it can be. Maybe it has some appeal to younger people who want to "try some classic platforming but without all the hassle with actually playing classic platformers". Maybe. For me it was interesting for the first 10-15 screens. Just to see what is gonna happen next. Nothing much happened next. So that's that.

not great

it seems the devs wanted to make the game difficult for the sake of retro-difficulty, but forgot to make it fun in the process. backtracking is tedious, as the game is very slow. the main thing killing the fun was how it is never clear whether the roadblock you run against is lack of skill or a missing ability. i beat the first boss and wasn't sure where to go next, as apparently the first gained ability is not the only one focusing on how you get to higher places. other games that focus on ability make it clear, and backtracking can even be fun (look at dark souls). alwa's awakening just makes it a boring chore. i only played about an hour but i'm already burnt out and annoyed. not a great sign.

Good Assets, Lame Gameplay

NOT RECOMMENDED. It simply is not fun It is too difficulty-padded to have any simple appeal. A common player should watch a playthrough instead for max enjoyment of this product. Your main gameplay content is watching your death counter go up i.e. you get nothing. The game is 5 to 8 hours long and the side content is collectables. It is a Unity game. You would think using an existing engine would enable more time spent on making content other than challenge screens and you would be WRONG. The gameplay does not change that much from the start to end. The levels are boring and even when you are moving to the right direction, it feels wrong. As most of the game is about artificially difficult platforming, it is a drag to move around, a feature made worse by the back-tracking-intensive level design. The challenge posed by the game is made worse by how slow you move and the angled projectiles and enemy approaches. There is no practical way to block projectiles in most situations. There is no sense of progress or achievement. (BTW, no achievements in the GOG version and the one in the Steam version are milestone and collectable related, nothing too exciting.) The quality of life features of modern game design are not there. If you miss a piece of information, you will never get to re-discover without starting the game from the scratch. The lack of those features reduces the fun factor. You are better of playing other games with such features. Of the same genre, I recommend Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles 1 and 2. They are free fan games.
