36 Fragments of Midnight Reviews

Best War Game ever!!!!

Another great installment in the Midnight series.

If you like your inputs being eaten then this is the game for you

Brief but fun and challenging, took me a few attempts but I finished in in less than 30 minutes. The graphics are very sharp and the delicate sound creates a good atmosphere. Worth getting if it's in the sale.

[h1] 36 Fragments of Midnight Feels Like A Simple Flashgame, But With A Price [/h1] 36 Fragments of Midnight is a very simple looking, simple platformer. The story is about... you know what? I'm just going to copy and paste most of the description of the game: "...you have to collect all the Star Fragments of Midnight's friends to get of their greatest gift." All of that said there, that's the whole story. There's very little dialogue other than the start of the game. So, this means this game is more focused on gameplay, having fun. But the big question is... is it fun? Sadly, no. This game is so bland and dull. This game has randomly generated areas in a single level, every time you hop into the game, the map has changed. Sounds kinda neat, huh? Well... to be honest, it is and isn't at the same time. The randomly generated areas are obstacles to get the some Fragments. The problem is, there's very little different obstacle designs to make the game from becoming dull fast in like 5 minutes. The only hazards are blades, lasers, and spikes. And the way they use these, it's too simple and they're very easy to avoid. Collecting the Fragments don't feel all that great to collect, since they aren't satisfying. This game offers very little content with no replay value (what replay value is there, it just beating your previous score your second playthrough). The platforming itself is easy. Up, Down, Right, Left keys or W,A,S,D and space are the only keys you will use (For some reason, for a game that's on the PS4, VITA, and Switch, the PC version doesn't have controller support. If you do have a Steam Controller and map these controls to it, you're good to go). You can jump, double jump, and more left or right. The game controls fine for what it is. The game's look is very simplistic, like I said at the start of my review. Simplistic is fine, but here, the look of the game is pretty bland. The lighting effect from the main character looks okay. There's really nothing much to say here. As for the soundtrack, well, there's only two songs in the game. One at the main menu, and at the game over screen if you touch something dangerous, which sound okay. The rest of the game, it's background noise, bland background noise at that. I can't say much here either. Over and all, for a game like this that's 3 dollars, I can't recommend it. This game has very little to offer, and what it has to offer, it's bland and dull to enjoy it. Hell, the ending of the game is basically "Thanks for playing!" and the game ends there, but only with a game over, saying you have 36 fragments collected and how long it took you to beat it, which didn't feel like I accomplished anything. The game is also like 10-20 minutes long, unless you die. This would be acceptable as a Flash game, but on Steam, it's really not worth your time. [b] FINAL SCORE: 2/10 [/b] [i] If you enjoy this game, good for you! This is just my opinion. [/i]
