Dogolrax Reviews

Dolgorax is a retro adventure mishmash sprinkled with tons of brutality and randomness. Does this sound like a good Sunday filler? This game promises a retro-styled experience, and it sure delivers on that front. However, everything feels undercooked and way too experimental to grab the attention of the average player. The story is nearly non-existent and delivered unskillfully, plus with broken English. You still should be able to understand the overarching plot but it bears little to no relevance to the rest of the gameplay; thus, it is easily skippable. Similarly, the platforming elements also fail to deliver. Jumps and movement lack the precision required by some sections resulting in more frustration than fun. Even the map layouts do not feel particularly inspired. Still, I can't deny the authors some props for originality. The gamut of styles and weirdness stands way above average. Still, it certainly won't fit the tastes of the majority(especially casuals). Finally, the occasional shooting sections lack engaging mechanics. Simple and bland shooting will most likely disappoint even the most ardent pew-pew players. I could not catch myself enjoying any of those game fragments. Meh, that is the most I can express after completing this product. Originality is not backed by the creative assembly and utilization of ideas. Regrettable. The retro style feels more like a cover-up for lack of design skill rather than a creative choice. The novelty of disjointed styles and themes wears off fast when faced with the blandness of the design. Everything feels underdeveloped or like a gimmick to sway your attention from the surrounding flaws. On top of that, the sexual content here is a false advertisement, as there is barely anything that could count as lascivious. Disappointment again. As for the audio side, there is enough to warrant a positive mark. There is a sufficient variety of retro tracks, and while none of them remained in my head, I can't find anything wrong with them. It is the only element that I found enjoyable, but only to a limited degree. I sure won't be buying the soundtrack but never turned the audio off during the ordeal. No complaints here. No bugs were encountered, but some problems with getting stuck in walls in some sections sure felt grating. Overall, this retro-style adventure title feels lacking on several fronts. From the pointless story to undercooked platforming, to bland shooting. I really wanted to like this game, but I can't honestly recommend it after the completion: 3.1/10
