Beautiful Game. Shallow Content
Inner Chains is the brainchild of Tomasz Strzalkowski, who was involved in developing the Painkiller series. This game is his first attempt in moving from being a level designer to a game designer and the result shows; it's not that great. The plot is really confusing and poorly written. You're some guy in this Lord of The Rings-esque universe and when you accidentally fall down from a cliff, you're labelled as a heretic and everyone wants you dead. It makes no bloody sense! The first level feels like a tech demo more than an actual level. I initially wanted to stop playing until I reached level 2. That's when the game picks up. Like Painkiller, you get these super cool weapons like an electric gun, a flamethrower (my favourite) and a needle gun. But unlike Painkiller, you don't kill enemies every 5 seconds. Instead, there's only a few of them and each can only be killed with a specific weapon. Despite the cool weaponry, Inner Chains has terrible combat system. Enemies are dumb and they take a lot of hits even when you shoot them in the head. The one aspect I enjoy is discovering stone tablets, which are scattered throughout the game. Each tablet reveals a letter in the alphabet and the more you find, the easier it is to read the encrypted messages that are plastered all over the walls. I thought it was kinda neat. The saddest part of Inner Chains is its length. I finished the game in 4 hours. It ended with a crappy boss fight and ending. What a ripoff! I understand this is a Kickstarter game but still, I expected more. It seems the developer Telepaths Tree has given up on this game as their website is no longer in service and their Twitter hasn't been updated since 2017. Such a shame because Inner Chains had great potential. It seems they sacrificed functionality for beautification, which they achieved successfully as the environments look terrific. I only recommend Inner Chains if you want something new and different. Otherwise, stay clear off it.
