Save up for some REAL old school games!
I appreciate what the developer was going for, here, but his willful disregard for plot and narrative is insulting. All of the characters are, at best, one dimensional. And thats kind of insulting in a TWO dimensional game.
Whats worse is that the developer actually draws attention to first grade level video game concepts. At one point, for example, the developer brags about how "difficult "it was for him (and his team) to render characters walking under a bridge. In 16 bit graphics.
I learned that in my first year programming class.
Dont get me wrong, I appreciate the throwback to Super Nintendo games, here, and the music score is pretty good. But there are so DAMNED MANY PROBLEMS. One is that the enemies level up IN BATTLE. If, for some reason, you are unable to defeat enemies in the first two rounds? Its pretty much guaranteed that you wont beat them after that.
My advice to you is to not buy this game. Its an exercise in frustration, and a waste of money. Does it have potential? Absolutely! But so do all of Lovecrafts ideas. Theyre just waiting for someone with more than a B – movie scale of experience to do them justice. Thats why Im giving this game a two star, and not a one. I have no idea how this game was so highly rated. If you want to waste your money then by all means do so! I guarantee, though, that you will feel as frustrated and empty as I did.
