Taimumari: Definitive Edition

Below average platformer. Removed from my account because, well, it's just not that fun.

Taimumari: Definitive Edition is a colorful action-platformer built around the traditions of classic 2D adventures, combining straightforward movement and combat with fantasy storytelling, character progression, exploration, and powers connected to time and space. Developed and published by TERNOX, it follows the young wizard Himari as she travels across the floating world of Zaria after the natural flow of time is disrupted. What begins as a relatively simple mission gradually develops into a journey involving powerful keepers, lost abilities, mysterious events, and characters whose motivations are more complicated than they initially appear. The game immediately establishes its retro identity through pixel-art graphics, side-scrolling stages, animated sprites, and environments designed to resemble platformers from an earlier generation. Its presentation is intentionally uncomplicated, but the colorful fantasy setting gives the scenery plenty of personality. Different areas introduce their own enemies, hazards, and visual themes, helping the adventure maintain variety despite its relatively modest production scale. The Definitive Edition also feels more complete and polished than…

Buy this game. Seriously. This game is so bad that it somehow becomes amazing. I honestly haven’t had this much fun with a game in a long time. It’s simple, and that’s exactly why it works. The dialogues are hilariously terrible — it feels like they were written as a joke, or the developers just knew nobody was going to seriously analyze the completely absurd story that makes absolutely no sense. But then you look at how beautifully the characters are drawn, and you immediately realize the developer is a man of culture. To sum it up: for this price, this game is an absolute must-buy. I haven’t played anything this fun, easygoing, and stress-free in a long time. I’m following the studio now and definitely looking forward to whatever they make next.

This is a very well made jump and run game with charming retro looks and sounds. The music of it's last stages even reminded me of the classic Mega Man games! The main story's fast played through in easy mode (around of 2 hours), but the higher difficulties are way more challenging, multiple endings are able to be unlocked here as well and trying to unlock the best ranks in every level and finding all objects are going to challenge you for even longer (personally I only completed the main story and tried out a bit the free dlc-levels so far). I must admit that the story itself didn't excite me that much, but honestly that's kinda typical for platform-games, right (thank goodness didn't need to save a blond princess...)? Another nice function is the option to play as her red-haired friend, who fights a bit differently. And what I enjoyed the most about this whole game is, how many skill this lady got: different magic spells, swordfighting, climbing on walls, double-jumps, dash, summoning a big shield, in some stages even flying and influencing time itself! That really impressed me a lot, but therefore I would advice to play this game with a controller (not necessary, but woul…

This game overall is a fun platformer. It includes the old DLC (not the soundtrack) by default which lets you play as an alternate character and another that lets you play a special themed world (which is pretty hard!). There's no backtracking but it has meta progression (optional) so you will have to replay the levels. They're not very long though once you have the hang of it. You can beat a few of them in under 5 minutes each when you know what you're doing. For the most part i enjoyed the different levels. There's a bit of variety including standard left-to-right, a level where you have to keep moving else you die, a couple vertical levels, an ice level (slippery), water level (can drown), and even a time-stop level (everything only moves when you do). The boss fights are a mixed bag because some have a pattern that's really easy to counter and some are really random. If you get a specific spell, most of these turn into a cake walk. The game does have a story with 2 different endings but it doesn't interrupt the platforming. You only get parts of the story at milestones like the beginning of the game, fighting a boss, end of the game, etc... So it's non-intrusive. My only …
