Swords & Bones

A simple game that plays like an old game and has a few faults of an old game, but I like it. It is meant to be that way and I like the charm and artstyle. The music is also well made and fits the style of game. It is a ghosts and goblins type of game, but because of the short level segments and no lives, makes it much easier and fun to play through! You should farm some coins for items at first, to get some of the very essential basic abilities, but you could get all of them by simply farming in the first level if you wanted. It is challenging, but fair and I enjoyed playing through it, though it is short. It is cheap too though, and if you like it, you can always purchase the sequels, as there are multiple games with the same concept! Not much to say about it, just a nice little throwback!

First episode of what has become SEEP's annual series (the fifth game is claimed as the final one but we'll see). It's not presented as "retro", as the graphics are in 16:9. Levels are short; each has a special trophy that is more or less difficult to reach or even find. Not every trophy can be collected immediately, as some require abilities to be purchased at a shop, in turn requiring the player to raise money through the levels. No death is useless, as money collected is always kept. I found the game to be extremely bland. The level design is fair but unmemorable, upgrades are few and nothing special, bosses are easier than the levels that precede them. As you need to grind some money for the upgrades, it feels padded out and longer than it needs to be, despite lasting only a few hours. It's got no terrible flaws, it just comes and goes without leaving a trace. The final reward is one of the lamest, worst-drawn cutscenes I've seen in years. It also has a strange mobile game feel, mostly due to that UI appearing when a level is finished, with an explosion of stars, icons to signal having finished the level and collected the trophy, and icons to go to the next level or the map.…

Simple, elegant fun at a great price! I love it!

Finally, a game that doesn't require me to change my keybinds!!

fun little retro style game i beat on XBOX and now im working on the same here and going for part 2 after that good time for a fun evening of semi light gaming!

Reminds me of Ghosts and Goblins. About 3 hours to complete the game. I would guess another hour to collect the final achievements, though I probably won't bother. Unlikely to replay, but worth the small amount I paid for it.
