Guardian of Lore

BAD GAME. 1. The opening story wouldn't play on my computer, and there was no way to go back and view it. So if you miss it because it lags then you can't figure out what the plot even is. 2. The gameplay is terrible. I mean terrible. Character gets stuck in walls, stuck to characters, locked in motion and walks off cliffs, etc. Painful to play and my friend said it was painful to watch. The combat is ridiculous and it does not progress at all, you just fight the same enemies the entire time. This feels like a game that was released for free online in 2003 on Newgrounds or something. I got stuck in walls, stuck behind background objects, and stuck inside of enemies. 3. The stories and their connection to the gameplay do not match even though they are supposed to. It tells you to preserve the storyline, yet when you follow the story as written it punishes you. It doesn't make any sense and often the story given and the way the you "protect" the story are two entirely different things. Also the English version of the stories do not make sense. 4. The credits revealed to me that the creator did not have testers or at least did not credit game testers in the development of the game…

Aaaaaand another game into the "when theres nothing else to play" list, in case its not clear this NOT a "do not recomend" review, this is "by all that is good and beautiful in this world DO NOT BUY THIS" review. I am a serial game finisher, you really have to be bad for me just ot give you 20 minutes of my time. I could talk about the crap keyboard controls, about the lame mechanics, about the bad graphics, about crap artstyle, about non existant character of the guy you play, the bad voice acting or the fact the intro needs subtiltes because with every posible kind of volume up to 100%, the narration was in whispers, BUT im gonna go straight for the killhshot. This game was made realease in 2021, it uses UNITY and NOT only does it not have a "load from save" option, there is no "back to main menu option", meaning that you wanna try another shot at section, you need to EXIT the game and then start from wherever the game saved your progress. If that doesnt kill this game for you, you deserve everything you are about to witness

Before I start this review, A very helpful tip if you are already playing this game and stuck [spoiler] trying to find the 3rd dancing Aya Huma. Before you leave the first area of that stage, stand in the middle of the building right at the end of that area, jump and strike. You'll open the secret area where he's in. Send me a comment if you still can't find it, I'll be happy to help.[/spoiler] Now for the review. This is a perfect example of strong ideas but terrible execution. I want to solely blame it on budget and small team but sadly the design is also very flawed at times that I almost didn't finish the game. Pros: - Great ideas - Nice boss battles - Decent music and art design - Nice costumes and powers to unlock Cons: - Bugs and bugs. Bosses are bugged, normal enemies will suddenly freeze trap you or you'll get stuck on spikes like glue until you die or achievements won't even unlock which happened in my case (I didn't even get the achievement for beating the game or getting the legendary sword which took quite some time to do) - One Key location needed to progress was hidden beyond the imagination of mere mortals and I only found it by chance after a long search. That's…

Great Indie game! Amazing art and level designs always on point for the traditions of each story. As well as level design and game play (quite challenging). The part that I enjoyed most are the Boss fights as they have an incredible character design that stands up from the rest and they are challenging to beat. Thanks for finding a fun way to maintain the traditions of several Hispanic Cultures and showing the importance of it. Great message for all the world. As overall 9/10, played with a controller

This is an action platformer with some puzzle elements. It's not a traditional metroidvania, because you don't have a contiguous map; however, there are progression elements, and certain items are impossible to reach without revisiting old areas with new abilities. The game is primarily level-based. Each level is a story book that takes place over several screens. Depending on your actions, you can be going through different screens, in a unique take on a choose-your-own -adventure books. Each book contains a story from a different Native culture of Latin America, and your objective is to read the legend ahead of time, and then go through the book, making sure the story does not get re-written and forgotten. Just beating each book's boss does not guarantee a happy ending, but the game does provide hints, and you can run through each book multiple times. Your abilities come in the form of spells- you enter a “casting stance”, and then you need to input a sequence of buttons for each spell. Spells cost Lore to cast, which is your universal currency in the game- you use it to cast spells, buy/sell items, upgrade your spells and repair your equipment. The game's art is gorgeous, a…

ADD controller support please its horrible with a keyboard/ really wanted to play it too.
