✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's unique cultural setting drawing from Ghanaian folklore and history, along with its affordable price and solid platforming foundation. However, common complaints center on clunky controls that feel unresponsive, over-animated character movements that obscure attack timing and hit registration, and a difficulty that some feel doesn't match the soulslike tag. The narrative, while intriguing at the start, could be more developed throughout the experience.
This game feels good although I'm not sure it meets souls like tag. I will play further to see if it gets harder. 8/104 found this helpful
As the name implies, the story of the game revolves around the insurrection and defeat of the kingdom of Denkyira by the Asante Empire in 1701. Okomfo Anokye was a real-life religious figure of the Ashanti Empire who was said to have performed miracles in the service of unifying the Ashanti and defeating the Denkyira. In this particular setting, Anokye is protected and supported by the supreme god of the Akan people, here known as Onyankopɔng, who revives him upon death at checkpoint statues. In terms of gameplay, Anokye is a victim of over-animation that can't reliably indicate when an enemy is attacking you or if hits are landing. I don't want to fuss too much about that, because the team behind this game are seasoned animators and that's their core skillset. Also, the game has no lives system and is very generous with giving you movement options to meet its challenges so this isn't as much of an issue as one might assume. The goal is straightforward enough, navigate a level and retrieve a key (a blue orb in this case) that allows you to proceed through the level exit. There are 18 levels in total, separated by The Beginning and The End. The End is tonally different and begins to…1 found this helpful
A unique game about something I knew nothing about (Ghanian folklore and art) and now know slightly more about is always good in my book. Clunky and awkward to control, the action doesn't really flow as much as I'd like, and controls are occasionally awkward, but Played around 45 minutes and while nothing blew me away, it's an intriguing little game, and well worth the $3 I spent on it. Call it a very soft "Yea pretty cool lil game"
A pretty fun 2D platformer. I wish there was a little more of a narrative element because I loved what was there at beginning but overall a decent way to spend a few hours.
