They Always Run Reviews

Unfinished clunky trash. Don't waste your time.

I just completed this game last night and I can mostly recommend this game, I'd say 6.5/10. The art is beautiful, the platforming and combat action are compelling in a limited sense. My biggest problem with this game is the endless reading mandatory dialogue. So much conversational dialogue it really hampers the playthrough. A lot of thought has gone into the world and setting build and story, however I feel that the dialogue writer must have been like the CEO's 16yr old niece or nephew who writes a lot of fan fiction and was awarded their start with this game and given free reign. I had to tune out of the dialogue and story at some point because of how exhaustive it is. If you like that sort of thing, then this is the game for you. The character dialogue is mandatory, you can't one-button skip a segment of dialogue, you have to click through every line, and it's very back-and-forth. I personally feel that the same story could have been told with 1/3 of the dialogue volume. There's actually very little, if any, optional dialogue with NPCs, it's all main character/sequence dialogue. I felt I had to mirror the dialogues effect on the game by talking about the dialogue exhaustively in this review. To better characterise it: this is like real-life friends dialogue, rather than focused cinematic screen-dialogue. It says every little thing rather than economising what's really important. Back to the good: beautiful artwork, both backgrounds and character animations. Really cool style and concept, although the artwork does feel a bit 'concepty' in it's painterly presentation, but still really good. The main character I can't help but think of as "Batman Robocop", who is also a ninja mixed with a bit of Jack Reacher and the setting is very Firefly space western, in fact the characters spaceship looks a lot like the Serenity and has a similar layout: red engine room with spinning thing down the middle, brown common room with cabinets, bankettes and beds, and an ascending stairway to main bridge which is dark with screen-lighting, jutting out above a front-loaded cargo bay door. The platforming and combat are solid. The combat has a unique mechanic to it that holds up well. The effects are dynamic. Overall this game obviously isn't AAA but it's a solid playthrough of about 6-8 hours, and I'd say worth about $10 if you find it for that price or on sale. I can't identify any replay value at all.

It´s a good game, feels a little retro and made me feel a bit nostalgic. Honestly, it kinda sucks that it is quite short but i think the game has a good balance between complex and simple. The story gets more interesting as you move on but I didn´t quite like the ending

reminds of Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend for the Gameboy advance(2003). literally direct inspiration drawn with the cage climbing, would not be surprised if the creators played that game too. Wish it was more slowed down in the combat area like that game with specific attacks to press for a flying sidekick. But, once you get used to this games flavour of 'gun'fu' fighting you'll learn to play fast and combat does flow
