Iconoclasts

Solid linux game. Bad German translation

This game runs very well on Arch Linux, 64bit. 20€ is the max price though. I regret nothing though. However, if you ever see it discounted this is a no brainer to get. I am 10 hours in the game now. The story is very good and has enough suspense and mystery to keep you from getting the full picture yourself until now. The German translation is very bad to the point that it reads like an automatic computer translation. Some sentences only makes sense if you guess the original English word. Gameplay itself was not challenging on "Normal," so I restarted in "Hard" after two hours, now it is good. The mechanics are a good mix between Metroidvania tradition and innovation. "Rocket Jumping" with the start weapon is possible, the place switching gun is nice etc. There is very little hand holding in the game besides the start tutorial signposts. I wish they had removed the later signposts in Hard mode as well, or removed the little white flies in the tower that tell me where to go next. But it is well within reason. I don't like the music though. It is not bad but certainly below average. The technical quality, instruments and sounds themselves are good but the composition sounds more like a beginners work from time to time. Game itself runs well. There is only a small graphic glitch that sometimes 10px on the right border are drawn with glitch graphics. Control with a keyboard is very accurate and you can rebind keys. Cutscenes are skippable. Feature wishes for updates: - An option to change the language in game - An option to change the difficulty from Normal to Hard (or vise versa) without restarting - Choose weapon directly (number keys or so)
