JUMP KING QUEST

Co-op, interchangeable armor and weapon star upgrades are just the cherry on top for this game. Would recommend everyone try it, even just once. But once you get a feel for the game, you won't want to put it down.

I don't like rage games. I'm not really into platformers. If you told me that I was going to like the sequel* to Jump King, I would have said you were crazy. Jump King Quest is just really, really good. I gave it a try because of the directional inputs ala fighting games, and the game gripped me from start to finish. There was platforming, sure, It wasn't super easy platforming, and at times could be rather punishing. But the maps, the exploration, engaging with enemies and building a character and using different (and very unique!) weapons just all felt so good. The combat especially had me gripped - the boss fights all felt unique, and all three of the weapons I chose to use on my first playthrough were important from the moment I got them to the moment I finished the game. Nothing excited me more than finding a boss door, finding a roaming boss, or exploring a new area with interesting combat encounters. I even started to come around to the platforming - it was never too tough, and there was something very satisfying about engaging with a better sense of control over my character. There's some bad - the game crashed more than a handful of times, and while the end screen sa…

The game start fun, but after some while it just gets WAAAAAY to hard with the bosses. So hard where you don't die from them, but make 1 mistake and fall from the arena and have to jump back for 5-10 minutes just to get tossed away again a moment later. Absolutely not fun, do not buy it.

Good game. Even better with friends. Somehow gets you to laugh at the same jokes for hours on-end, can't help but laugh at yourself and your friends when you make repeating mistakes in this game together.

This game deserves way more love, it truly is a masterpiece that went unnoticed by the public!

Fun game with unique "jumping" gameplay. Zanzibart reference. Fun in co-op.
