Rumours From Elsewhere

This game is a lot of fun! I love the look of the game, and it has a ton of character in everything you play as, kill, pick up, or read. Not to mention the sound design and music are great. Once I got used to the core mechanics, I was hooked and kept starting new runs to discover more about the game. Each of the characters feels unique, just as each of the areas are distinct, vibrant, and fun (except Misty Peaks, that place is agony). On the downside, sometimes the platforming is just a little unwieldy. The jumping or dashing or platform grabbing seemed to occasionally glitch and caused me some significant frustration. This didn't ruin the game by any means, but it did feel like an unfair game flaw that would crop up now and again. Also, here and there a hit box would be in dire need of updating. Overall, I think this game is still satisfying to play. Before buying, people should be aware that a map is basically the same on each run (it is random which maps you encounter), but the game encourages you to speed through each level to find randomly placed features. I think this helps the gameplay loop overall as you learn the layouts and mechanics, making for quick and engaging acti…

Even though it will take a while to get used to the movement, it may be even be frustrating at first, the game has so much to offer that once you master it, it's immediately worth it. The amount and quality of content in this game is incredible, especially with the size of the team behind it. The music is amazing, there are 10 different characters to play as, there is a lot of enemy variety, a lot of different levels each with a distinct atmosphere, each weapon class has a ton of different weapons to forge, the library in which you can find story behind everything in the game has amazing art, and so on. The current price of 10 dollars is really worth it and on sale it's an absolute steal.

Excellent title, easy to pick up. Too bad that wall jumping is so poorly implemented that it ruins the whole experience.

Play game, good.

You get to play as Anubis! 10/10

This game is incredibly charming, even if I am not very good at it haha The art style is lovely- the level design, playable characters, available weapons and even pet are all very fun and look great! And while I found some of the controls a little finicky to get used to (namely wall jumping/climbing) once I got the hang of it it played very smooth. My only complaint personally, is there is a story-built timer to the levels, that I wish was optional. After a certain amount of time the difficulty spikes because you're being followed by an instant death boss. It's assumed you would have managed to finish the level by then. I however, as mentioned above, am not particularly good at this game, so I can't seem to make it out of the level before I start being chased RIP I end up feeling really rushed, and not able to take the time to explore/collect items, which has always been part of the appeal of these kinds of games for me, especially one that looks as good as this one! That said, seeing other's responses and comments it seems most people do finish the levels before the chase starts, or the chase happens when they're nearly finished and provides a last second bit of adrenaline, so …
