3 things I liked about this entry:
- Really good graphics! They're small and retro but clear.
- The audio fit the retro aesthetic nicely and made it feel very action-arcade-y.
- The top-down nonstop action paired with simple controls made this game a blast to play.
3 things I didn't like:
- I found the green bats especially hard to deal with. I died to them more than Reid.
- The potion mechanic could have been conveyed just a bit better. I didn't realize I would be getting more potions after each level, and for some reason I was limited to only 4 potions in the final battle.
- The story didn't land for me. It's not the main focus of the game, so not a huge deal, but lines like "Harold went missing when the world needed him most" and "time won't forgive you, but our hearts will" made me go 😕.
