So I installed this game and my first launch attempt didn't work. It got stuck in a black screen with a white square. So I launched it again and without GOG Galaxy, this time it launched and I started the mission on Normal Difficulty. Was asked to infiltrate a mansion. I tried to explore my surroundings and inmediately got blocked by invisible walls. The ugly kind, that means a bushes were actually the map borders. I continued and upon the fence I noticed cameras, tried to evade them but I think they were just decoractions. I fund the first guard and the game explained I can use objects to distract guards. I threw a wrench in the opposite direction the guards was looking but he ignored the noise. I took a brick and then attempted to land it on the head of the guard BUT the brick flew in front of him. The guard remained static 0 reaction. Waiting for me to kill him. for the next guard the game wanted me to shoot but it said I was sqeezing the trigger to hard. So then I decided to sneak on that guard and do the takedown instead. The game crashed.... I have played other stealth games: Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell so maybe I'm spoiled. But I think this is just an attempt to be an stealth game. Is not worth your time or Disk Space.
There's lots to love in this game! - Fast paced gameplay - Intelligent camera that limits the vertical movement preventing you from looking at the sprites in wrong angles - Awesome Weapons with deeper customization than your standard FPS - Meety Meele Attacks that even cleave the walls and sceneary - Awesome Death animations for the enemies that change on weapon or effect applied! - Adjustable difficulty level to fit your tastes Go straight for the purchase button! the Soundtrack alone is worth > 15$ on bandcamp and ITS included with this awesome game! so STOP READING AND GO FOR IT!
This is one of the best 2D Platformer games I have ever played. I'm clocking 35 hours so far and I wish I could keep going! but I know the end is near... I got all the map pieces, missing only 8 charms.. found my fav combination of charms to keep. I'm serious on this it just keeps getting better and better. My favorite area so far due to music, danger and atmosfere is Kingdom's Edge. Thank you devs for creating such a masterpiece, for using this platform. Thank you GOG for offering the best price. I wish I had backed this on KS. Now I want the printed map and the HK figurine :)
This review is from ver. 0.8.5-4 BETA XMAS.- I first saw the demo on Steam Early access, played it (only the intro) and fell in love with it! Then I found it on GOG! screw that DRM BS I immediately bought it @ GOG. So far 3 areas are available, but they are HUGE. I spent nearly TEN hours on the FIRST ONE! so many side quests! challenges, traps, sub bosses to beat! then I realized I should move on.. went to the second area and turning back to the first was still useful and fun! from the start you get the ability to teleport between landmarks so you never have to walk if you don't want to. You can grind yourself to buff your stats or simply to buy better equipment! Your constant companion would be Emilinator for the most time, but you can separate and do things alone if you wish.. also tweak her general behavior in combat :) Then There's the ability unlock mechanic, it looks like the ability tree you find on Path of Exile. Some branches are not enabled yet so you can't unlock maximum abilities on this build. But it's super fun to tweak around.. The story part of the game is currently being developed but looks very interesting, the animations on Lea are Superb during the dialog with other NPC's and seen her react to everything around is awesome! Can't wait to see the end of this! My critics: Sometimes navigating the terrain is a bit confusing... specially when jumping cliffs sometimes is hard to understand what parts are actually accessible until you make the jump.. at least the first time you visit an area. Great Potential on this one! go ahead and try it!
