Valkyrie Saga

Awesome game with an engrossing atmosphere. Kinda like Mario meets Wings 64, but the wings in question are from the GTA3 Dodo. The art style and bleak world was really appealing to me. I like how your character becomes more capable as the journey continues, and how there are tons of secrets to be discovered. Also, there are alternate endings! The dev has supported and updated this game fairly well, and I will be watching to see what they come up with next! Buy

The movement is very satisfying and makes exploring the world pretty fun. Only hold back by a lack of polish in certain areas, but I can recommend it overall.

Feels like a classic

I am not inherently a fan of platformers but this game caught my eye. I think the artstyle is unique and cute. While there are many good things about the game, it is held back by a lack of polish. Sadly plagued with a few bugs and bad geometry clipping issues. Some textures are plastered to their models incorrectly I believe. I got physically stuck inside statues a couple times. While I have not finished the game I am posting this review to let people know the sheer amount of times I get stuck in geometry. Fortunately there is a "teleport back to save point" button. But I shouldn't get stuck this many times in the geometry. This game truly wants you to be lost in its world. Take some time and have patience. This game absolutely respects your problem solving ability and wants you to just simply wander. Some crystals have to be obtained with you getting crystals prior, but the location of the easy crystals are pretty easy to find so you don't aimlessly wander too much. There are alot of mobility options but the game is impossible to complete without the main crystals and those can be a challenge to find, but they are in very specific landmark spots so they are in places that look…

I bought this on a whim and... well, it's no Pseudoregalia, I'll say that much. The texture work is very messy and there's no antialiasing. I honestly couldn't play it longer for 10 minutes without feeling like I was playing a highschool project.

good stuff
