DarkZero's Reviews
It may not be the Castlevania as fans know it, but MercurySteam has taken successful mechanics from combat-focused, character action games and blended it with Castlevania's lore.
I can't see many people who grew up only knowing what a virtual gun is accepting the shortness and difficulty curve of DuckTales Remastered. Modern gaming is different, so I feel that this is for fans that loved Scrooge McDuck's worldwide adventure.
Teleglitch is a unique combination of a number of different, but common, gameplay features that mash-up into a great game.
The actual game has smooth and responsive controls, an appropriate soundtrack and a particular lean-back quality that I do enjoy, allowing me to quickly jump into a game that is pretty relaxed and simple to play. But that is just enough.
Unfortunately, the enemy types are fairly limited, combat is mindless, bosses are extremely generic, and the final boss battle was the most disappointing finale that I can recall from the past few years. Although, the game overall was not a letdown, as I got exactly what I expected with a story told like some crazy paradox by a character you can’t help but enjoy
Overall, Denpa Men 2 is a vast improvement over the first with the addition of a rather large over-world to explore, a classic RPG soundtrack, a seemingly shallow story that evolves into a deeper (but still comical) tale as you progress, and great 3D visuals with the dungeons actually looking deep due to the semi top-down view.
With the addition of a fun multiplayer mode and some clever challenges to keep a player coming back, this could have been something special, though sadly it ends up a simple game with solid mechanics but little replay value.
It’s a shame that such smooth controls, great audio and classic visuals were wasted on a game that is just so outdated.
Let me make this clear: The Night of the Rabbit isn't going to be the best adventure game you have ever played.
For a game that was created by just two students, it’s an accomplishment to be incredibly proud of and I know that I’ll be gifting a few of my friends this game throughout the year, even if it is only to drive them crazy with confusion too.
RPGs are usually very long, and as many of us have grown up, we simply don’t have the time to play through them anymore, making Evoland an extraordinary journey through a much simpler time that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
DOA5+ is a must-have for PS Vita owners, as it has a lot of content you don’t normally get with other games in the genre – and it’s portable.
Overall, Drip Drip looks great, sounds great and is a heap of fun.
Overall, the game is fun but I’d definitely recommend playing in small chunks.
These are only minor complaints, as the game itself is very polished and delivers exactly what it promises – fast paced action with that great arcade feel. For the low price of just £3.52 ($4.99), it’s definitely worth picking up.
