It is a well done platformer and you can see so many original influences in it. But: The map "system" is attrocious. Buy Quill to map where you, except that doesn't work until buy more map pieces from vendor in each area. And then your quill suddenly adds onto that map. Magically not working through the entire area you just went through to get to him. Then the map shows nothing. You have to pins to show energy statues, pins to show fast travel points, pins to show heal/save benches, etc. There is an entire shop thats only purpose is to buy a funcation map. Which still doesn't show things like locked doors so you can know where it was. You have to buy pins for you to place too. The hits / giant splash graphics feel off to me. I can't quite place it, but it is contact damage that I can't get a feel for or simply can't see a d*mn thing from all the impact graphics which leads to misses and further damage on me.
I really think this could use a few tweaks to make it great, but it was still very much worth a play. It got me to check out Rift Breaker and that is also a good one. Hopefully they make a sequel to this someday.
I tried, and it had potential, but once I got to a scripted stage coach level that suddenly blocked the path I just came through then took my 70 ammo to zero I Alt+F4 and uninstalled.
The Ultima games had a similar trend as the Star wars movies. Doomed to repeat it...
