Teslagrad

[h2]Another Metroidvania I played and just couldn't get into[/h2] I couldn't get into Teslagrad and I'm not completely sure why. Maybe it's the art style, all I know is the game just didn't click for me and I found myself bored. Even though I do like a lot of Metroidvania style games, I picked this one back up several times and eventually found myself shelving it yet again. Even though I couldn't get into it, this game deserves more of a maybe than a no because of the qualities it has going for it, such as the charming art style.

It's a short game, but an enjoyable one. If you've played games like Hollow Knight or Braid, it's like a combination of the 2, just a bit shorter.

A cute game with several good ideas and puzzles, but the main frustration is the one-hit-kill mechanic for boss fights that turn a decent challenge into pure tedium. This could have been greatly alleviated by giving the player a single-hit shield which only activates for boss chambers.

It's fine.

The game is cute but my biggest gripes are: - The map cannot be zoomed out so you can only see the adjacent rooms - Your character movement is really floaty and you slide on every surface - The boss design is atrocious

This game is like Disney's Anastasia the movie, but only in the way that there's the Bolsheviks coming to kill you and thats about it
