Eliosi's Hunt

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Eliosi’s Hunt is an indie action-platform shooter developed by TDZ Games in collaboration with Gamecraft Studios and published by TDZ Games. The game blends elements of classic arcade shooters with platforming and top-down combat mechanics, resulting in a fast-paced experience that emphasizes precision, reflexes, and careful positioning. Rather than focusing on cinematic storytelling or a sprawling open world, the game offers a tightly designed adventure where each level functions as a challenging obstacle course filled with enemies, environmental hazards, and strategic combat encounters. The design philosophy centers on rewarding skill and persistence, encouraging players to master the mechanics through repeated attempts. The story introduces players to Eliosi, a young alien bounty hunter from a race known as the Zelicyans. Unlike many heroic protagonists in action games, Eliosi is not portrayed as physically imposing or naturally powerful. In fact, members of his species are generally considered small and fragile compared to the creatures inhabiting the galaxy. Despite these limitations, Eliosi dreams of proving himself as a capable bounty hunter. His journey begins when he acce…

Not a good game.

I am trying to give every game who has some of the things that I like (a shooter/platformer doesn't sound bad) a chance to redeem themselves. This one is pretty bad. No dialogues, no story, some interesting platforming sections but nothing redeemable, especially for a stupidly high (and bugged) difficulty which just add frustration. 4/10

This game is bad, there's no two ways around it. Weak combat, uninteresting narrative, terrible platforming. There's no world where I would feel even remotely impelled to keep playing.

I can't say this isa bad game, it had potential. It plays like a Crash Bandicoot Sci-fi twin stick shooter which sounds fun. Where the game loses me are the camera angles. As I'm running through dodging obsticles that slam in front of me or enemies that are flying in to attack me the camera angle at some points is so bad that large objects are blocking my view and I fall down a pit that I had no chance os seeing or am attacked by an enemy that I did not see coming. Unfortunately this happened quite often in the short time that I played. It happened enough that I lost interest in playing. If the right thumbstick controlled camera angle or if when I started moving horizontal on the screen the camera auto adjusted to a from behind view this would have made the game more enjoyable and playable. Currently the way to play is that if yoiu fall down a hole that you couldn't see you need to memorise where that hole was to avoid it when you restart at the last check point.
