Damsel Reviews
There’s lots to love about Damsel and on Switch, it’s perfectly suited to playing on the train, tram or backseat of the car
Damsel is a mixed bag of emotions for me. I came into this really excited for another experience like Katana ZERO and games of a similar fashion, especially because that is still one of my favorite releases in 2019. While there are elements that I enjoy, I can’t get behind the game as much as I initially expected I would. The odd technical issues and way too repetitive missions holds this back into the good department, instead of thrusting it forward into the great department.
The game lives up to this award, as one of the best independent developed games I’ve played, and so near and dear to my heart that it is from our homeland of Australia. It serves itself well as a casual title that appeals to a niche crowd that absolutely have no love lost for their platformers. Damsel is an intense experience, that will leave hardcore devotee’s for their love of platform shooters, coming back to this title for years to come.
Damsel is a fun and chaotic game, where you need to know what to shoot and when to shoot it. The arcade shooter has its fun times, but with the repetitive levels and the sudden changes in difficulty, it is hard to keep on playing Damsel.
