Duskfade is a perfect merge of modern graphics and old-school soul. The story is enticing, the platforming is satisfying, and the boss fights are unique and make you use the latest mechanics. A must-play for 3D platformer fans.
Denshattack is perfect for those adrenaline seekers who want the video game equivalent of chugging a dozen pixie sticks. The bright colors and split second decision making is addicting. Add in the dares for each level, and you have days' worth of content to tackle.
My ending thoughts are that this game is too highly priced to justify recommending at full price. If Toree Saturn goes on sale to match the price tag of the previous games, then I think it’s a good buy. I think it’s fun, but there are other games that focus on speed that I enjoy more. I do plan on getting a hold of the other Toree games to see how this one fares compared to the whole series.
And with that, this wraps up my review of Retrace The Light. I highly enjoyed my time with this game. The world was fun to explore, and the bosses were a great challenge. The story was deeper than I expected going in. Even though this isn’t a traditional Meroidvania, I will still recommend this to anyone who enjoys playing top-down, action platformers.
