Halcyon (2022)

This game stole assets and copied the story from another game developer. This is the original game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1537080/Return/ Not cool for indie developers to do this, please avoid this game.

Yoooo I saw this game and I thought it looked familiar pretty sure this game a ripoff I follow this dev on [url=https://twitter.com/DeadUnicornYYC ] Twitter [/url] Thought this was his game finally coming out but yall just copying him :/ Im waiting for the real deal to come out

Halcyon is a very stylistic action platformer that is pretty short but nicely packed with a good variety of enemies and level themes. The game handles its atmosphere and world building very well, it manages to create an unnerving environment with its interesting and unique art style. Progression requires a lot of trial and error so do expect to die a lot, you will have to learn the mechanics or you will be punished dearly by the game. It can get frustrating at times but overall the frustration will be minimal and it can feel very rewarding to master the game's mechanics. All in all I recommend this game.

Played and Beat it. Aside from the difficulty balance being flawed (It's brutally hard even on Easy), I still played it through. I enjoyed it, it's pretty, and certainly made by an Audiophile. The Look is sick, the effects are pretty, and the world was simple, but cool lore. I really hope he makes a sequel with faster melee, maybe a couple guns (4 would be more than enough if so) and a little more chance to escape enemies. (I got stun-locked a lot) TLDR : Super worth the price, and I want him to make more games. Even with dying a ton, I struggled to the finale. Great Indie Buy

Halcyon is a short and fairly straightforward action platformer that has you running and gunning through the overgrown remains of a future Earth as you seek out the unknown. The game is at times pretty challenging as both common enemies and bosses alike will aggressively rush and attack you. While it took me roughly 2 hours to beat the game as I kept dying to the harder segments near the end, the game pushes you to try and breeze through the game at increasingly break neck speeds with its listed achievements. Overall, this is a first time game developed by a two man team and I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys testing their skills and wants to support new developers.

Giving a 10th score, positive, to this short game (1 plus to 2 hour plus depending on your ability). Liked very much the graphics. No map. Your weapon range is long and kills foes out of screen -and you have a very convenient autoaim option in menus that helps with that-. Manage your jetpack power meter, to hover and kill enemies from above to evade damage. Or rise to their level if flying to better target them. An option to get a farther view (like the game uses with bosses), would make for a better enjoyment in my view. Disclosure: As and a 68 y.o. gamer I used cheat engine (helps me to play *and finish* games that otherwise I wouldn't buy !) Jetpack, Float Exact, 6.0000 at full. Grenades, 4 Bytes Exact, 3 Maximum. Health, 4 Bytes Exact, 200 full. (Address of grenades + 4 bytes).
