Critic Reviews for Lila's Sky Ark
Lila's Sky Ark looks and sounds terrific, and whilst pretty easy to complete, is a decent little diversion with some unique aspects that will provide a gentle and strange diversion from reality.
At first, Lila’s Sky Ark made me think I was getting sick of indies in this style in general, not just platformers. But the more I played it, I realized its weak opening was hiding a real gem. Once you dig into it, Lila’s Sky Ark is full of interesting characters, sweet story beats, and engaging gameplay.
As such, when Lila's Sky Ark hits that sweet spot of cerebral thinking and abstract design it is a lovely game to play. There are moments where it does struggle, particularly in combat-heavy sections that don't lead to its boss fights, but overall there is plenty of fun to be had, and many secrets to find.
A top-down fantasy adventure where you throw things at a limited range of monsters in a stiff world.
Lila's Sky Ark is a quirky game that sets out to be different. There's an interesting world to traverse, puzzles to solve, and many characters to meet, though it can be a little too odd at times. It looks great, though, and if you're looking for something unique and creative, you'll find it here.
Graphically impressive and different from the norm, Lila's Sky Ark is a charming title to look at. The music balances with the presentation splendidly. When it comes to game mechanics, however, there tends to be a lot lacking. With only the ability to hurl stonework and other quirky items, major boss fights almost feel silly. The main story remains a mystery if not actively exploring and may cause some players to feel lost or question the purpose of gameplay. This may be a benefit for those seeking a more thought-provoking game, yet it takes too much time to get there.
Lila's Sky Ark has an enjoyable gameplay, but it's about the only good aspect of the game, as the vague story didn't entice me to advance any further.
Lila's Sky Ark is a small metroidvania where the gameplay is simple, its story is complex and difficult to understand. As a highlight, the sound and visual section is wonderful. We are also facing a prequel, so if you liked Resolutiion, Lila's Sky Ark is more than recommended.
