Platventure with a Twist
A lovely sidescrolling Action-Adventure that takes some time to get into. It's a short game, but it does have a brief warm-up period. When I first started playing, I felt that it was too hard, but I quickly found myself getting acclimated to it, and once I did, I couldn't put the thing down, playing until 3am one night, when I had to be up in 3 hours for work. It features a lot of modern conveniences, like fast travel, a map with completion percentage, and items that regenerate when you hit a save point. The visuals are lovely, and the music does a great job of creating atmosphere, whether it be macabre, relaxing, or wrapped in the breathtaking beauty of nature. It's surprisingly dark in quite a few areas, reminding me of a combination of Symphony of the Night and the first Cotton game, especially considering how cute the main character is. The actual gameplay is surprisingly solid, considering that you will find very few upgrades for this type of game. I don't know if it's because of the short length, but the basic gameplay remains engaging throughout the entire adventure. If the gameplay has a weak spot, I'd say that it's many of the bosses. They do telegraph some of their moves, but a frustrating few don't telegraph all of them, so you get used to these tells, only for them to vanish. The other problem with the tells is that they don't tell you which move is coming, so sometimes, you'll dodge the wrong way. Still, the dodge mechanic is neat, and something I'd like to see more of in games like this. If you're into the genre, this is definitely worth checking out, especially at such a reasonable price. This is actually the fourth game in the series; the first 2 can be found for free on the developer's website.
