Painted Legend Reviews

Painted Legend is a simple yet endearing indie platformer set in a fairy tale world that comes alive on grid paper. The graphics are minimalist but charming, which suits the game's overall vibe. The gameplay is fairly forgiving, making it accessible for most players to pick up and enjoy. The controls are mapped to A-S-D-W for movement and F for actions, but there's currently no controller support. The game features 9 different characters, most of which need to be unlocked, though they don’t seem to offer much variation in terms of gameplay. Additionally, you can collect in-game coins to purchase two skills that add a bit more depth to the experience. There are 3 game modes: Campaign, Halloween Quest 2016, and a pixelated, old-school Easter egg mode that offers a nostalgic touch. Overall, I liked the game, though I did find the character’s movement a bit slow, which could feel frustrating at times. The gameplay itself is simple, which could be a turnoff for some players seeking more complexity. The game also offers 17 achievements that are all relatively easy to unlock within a few hours. At just 1 euro, Painted Legend offers decent value for a casual experience. While I had fun for a few hours, I do think a few tweaks and adjustments could elevate the game further. All in all, I’d rate it a 6/10 in its genre, and it’s a nice choice for anyone looking for a quick, lighthearted platformer.

[h1] Premise is nice but game suffers from bad controls, stiff gameplay and not much to explore except a few sceneries. [/h1]
