Magenta Horizon - Neverending Harvest Reviews
Magenta Horizon is certainly a surprising game that impresses both on the aesthetic and gaming side. The work done by the only developer denotes love and competence in the genre. The game itself keeps what it promises until the end: a challenge for the player. Although the action phase is the one that came out best, the rest is not the same. The dispersive levels, the positioning of the checkpoints and the repetition of the “battle – platform – key” dynamic are weak points. Usually the more technical maneuvers a game requires, the more precise the controls must be. Unfortunately, Magenta Horizon still has some grime that can make the experience frustrating. For a single developer, Maddison Baek did a great job. Despite some weaknesses Magenta Horizon is a good product.
For a title developed by just one person, Magenta Horizon is a surprisingly polished and solid work. It combines Metroidvania elements with the speed and combo-heavy gameplay characteristic of Hack 'n' Slash, resulting in a dynamic and engaging experience. The level design is very well-structured, accompanied by a standout soundtrack. Unfortunately, the game's story is one of its weaker points, serving merely as a backdrop for the relentless action-packed combat. Even so, Magenta Horizon is an excellent choice for fans of the genre.
