vridniX Reviews

I can't say I really enjoyed the main plot, but everything else is worth putting your money in it. Once you pick up the controller, you'll have a real hard time to stop playing because the game does a really good job at never making you want to take a break. The music alone is worth the price tag. Seriously, it's up there with danny baranowsky and the guys behind VVVVVV for the title of best indie games soundtracks. Really highlights some of the most memorable levels of the game. Also, there's some good jokes in it.

Vridnix is a fairly decent and difficult platformer with the draw being that you never stop running. I particularly enjoyed the artstyle and level design and the music fit the game. There isn't a massive amount of levels to play, but the majority of your playtime is going to be spent on attempting certain difficult levels over and over again to finally gain enough proficiency to beat it. They try to change it up a bit from stage to stage by rotating the stages or having you navigate in the dark or by using teleporters. The bosses were all unique and brought a change of pace from the usual levels. The story was alright. You get some background on vridnix and his motivations and what his origins are. Some parts I found amusing, but the ending didn't feel right to me. The game also has you collecting pages or trophies to expand on the story, albeit optional, but the game doesn't give you a way to figure out where any potential secrets could be. Some sort of indicator would have been nice so one wouldn't have to spend too much time in a given stage trying to find them. The controls were nothing to complain about, they were pretty responsive and simple to learn. I had a good time with the game even though I did end up dying over a thousand times and would recommend to anyone who likes a challenging platformer with story that doesn't detract from the gameplay.

Plop! Very awesome game! really kept me hooked throughout and on my toes. Was well paced and encouraged the player to learn the game themselves without too much handholding. Very simple basic controls that lead to quite a few interesting gameplay dynamics. Also did a good job introducing spicy elements along the way to keep things flowing and interesting! The narrative was both endearing as well as hilarious at times, and the music was phenomenal and fitting! Had a great time playing it! Great stuff!!!

Inspired by some platform classics, vridniX is a very dynamic runner, available in several languages (french, english, german and chinese), developped by a new french team, Uncanaut. With an high quality soundtrack, and dialogues tinged with humor, vridniX bring a fresh breeze in the platform game universe. It will please the challenge seekers, and the platformers fans, and put their patience to the test. If you're looking for some skill-asking games, vridniX might be what you whant!
