Short and sweet, but repetative
An old style, atmospheric side scrolling adventure game with a neat combo based combat system. It only lacks a bit more depth and some variation. Gameplay: Broken up between simple platforming and combat. Run into an enemy and combat begins. All combat is 1v1 and is essentially a timing based puzzle. Each enemy will attack/block in certain patterns and your job is to initiate combos when they leave themselves open. It works well, but it's too repetative. Each enemy functions basically the same. You also can't sneak past, sneak attack or do anything outside of combat. Once you figure out an enemie's pattern it becomes simple to dispatch them, but you're forced to keep fighting. The platforming is very simple. Move to the right (usually), cllimb up/down a platform, move, fight, repeat. You can jump, but it's not really used for anything special. Each dungeon is basically just a circle. You go down, left/right/ then back up. Visuals: The pixel graphics are beautiful and the setting is well rendered. The city of Ravenrock is not a place I'd like to live, but it was nice to visit. The dungeons each look unique, but the rooms are all the same inside the dungeons. Presentation: The UI is minimal which works for the style and setting. There no audio settings and you can't change any settings when you're in the game. You have to quit and go back to the main menu. Load times are non existent so it's not a huge issue, but it's a bit strange. Narrative: Decent, but predictable and stale. You can figure it out from the very beginning. There is this idea that the protagonist is immortal, but it's never really utilized in the game save for a few narrative points. It's never used in the gameplay, really.
