Both games are interesting at the start watching them evolve through time but combat soon becomes too difficult to continue. Enemies fight viciously and the game throws a ton of them at you giving little help in return. You die a lot and it becomes repetitive as you keep trying to get through. Much more an arcade game than an RPG. The game has no setting to change the difficulty, in fact the game has no settings at all. You can't change difficulty or graphics or sound levels or anything. You're stuck with what you get and if you don't like it, tough. Could have been a lot better but oh well. Two stars.
I was going to give this game five stars as I was really enjoying it until I got to the wrestling ring. Yes, there is a wrestling ring in the game. I have no idea why it's there as it has nothing whatsoever to do with the game or the story and seems really out of place and.. well, kind of stupid. But you have to get through it in order to continue the game. Well as far as I can tell it's broken, I can't do any damage to the opponent and there's no way out of it so it's game over. I followed walkthroughs and watched videos but nope, can't do damage no matter what. Might work on your system but it doesn't work on mine. The first part of the game is actually pretty good with solid platforming and lots of exploration along with some very creative design work. Yes it's low poly but still quite interesting to look at. If you see it on sale really cheap go ahead and pick it up as you can get a few hours enjoyment out of it. But when you get to the point where the woman freaks out on the bridge just quit right there before the game goes downhill so you'll have fond memories of it at least.
Or at least it is for me, like others I have the bug where the camera won't focus or identify anything. Don't see how it's my video card as the game runs fine and everything else works with no problems, it's just this one mechanic that's broken. But it happens to be the main mechanic of the game so progress is impossible. But if it works for you it does seem to be a cute and simple little game for when you just want to while away some time with some casual exploring. Looking forward to playing it if a patch comes out or I get another pc and it works on that one maybe. Good luck!
Cute simple game but it doesn't really work that well. You can't move and attack at the same time so combat can get tedious. I got about an hour in and got stuck in a puzzle that either isn't working correctly or the controls can't respond fast enough to do it. Can't go forward and can't go back, only option is to start a new game. The game really needs some sort of escape function for these situations. Just my personal experience.
Fun game to chill out with. G-rated and family friendly . Low poly graphics run well on my old pc and are nice to look at. The game recognized my PS controller right off and handles well with it. Quests are solved with exploration and using items to accomplish things. There are lots of NPCs that give information and quests and things to do, dialog is simple with quite a few funny moments. The only downside is there is no in-game map which is where the 'get lost' part comes in. The camera is always spinning around and I found navigation to be difficult and often ended up running around in circles. There is a compass but without a map to reference it's not very useful. Even a simple map that would just show my location would have been a lot of help. Still though the game is definitely worth taking a look at and if you find it on sale pick it up for sure, you'll enjoy it.
Looks good at high resolution and the game played well except for a few glitches, however saving and restarting cleared those right up. Story is family friendly and whimsical. Puzzles are solved through exploration and most are easy to figure out although I did have to look up a couple. There's a little backtracking in it but not enough to be a nuisance. All in all I found it to be a very nice and relaxing puzzle game with some good laughs thrown in too. Well worth a play through if you're looking for easy going fun.
Game started off great and really enjoyed it until I got to the first dungeon. It's not hard figuring out how to solve the puzzles but actually doing so can require very fast reflexes, perfect shooting and tricky jumping moves all within an extremely short time limit. And there are a LOT of puzzles. The dungeons are linear and mandatory for game progression so if you get to a part you just can't do you're stuck and the game is over for you. There are difficulty sliders but they only work in certain situations so they might help, they might not. Diehard puzzle fans will enjoy it I'm sure but I would not recommend the game for kids or for players that get easily frustrated. The rest of the game is great and lots of fun. In fact if it weren't for the puzzles I would consider it one of the best games I ever played. But that's just me and your mileage may vary. Have fun!
I get the 'select screen size' window, then the animated Atari logo splash screen, then the 'Atari presents' splash screen, then a crash to the desktop. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz 4096MB RAM DirectX 11 NVIDIA GeForce 210 2GB video ram I'm guessing I don't have enough video ram but unfortunately no hardware specs are listed on the store page and also the game discussion link doesn't work. Oh well it was only 99 cents.
