Yissa Deep Realms

Mediocre. Mediocre graphics, level design, enemies, bosses, sound effects, etc.

Yissa Deep Realms is a 2d platformer about a chick who needs a hand to help her get to the end. Beat it on mostly normal mode in 3.5 hours using a game controller. Difficulty is hard for the sake of being hard. Graphics - Graphics are meh. It's not all that different from the other games PixelGreeds comes up with. Story - Story is... There? Kinda. Knowing their other games, I'd probably get more out of the story by beating it on hardmode, getting all optional findy bits, or beating it the right way. Wasn't impressed by the story because it reminds me too much of the stories from the other games in the series. Controls - They work. Joystick is inoperable during the game, so I had to rely on the Dpad to get around. If there was one thing I'd change it'd be the hand-grab/jumping parts because that's where I ended up dying repeatedly the most. Music - Slaps Achievements - There are achievements that give it replayability. Abilities - You can earn abilities in the game with your soulfunds, but IMHO I never felt the need or urge to use them all that much. Is that weird? I dunno. Something about sticking to the main gun in the midst of all the jumping was more appe…

[h1]Listen up, all you gamers out there![/h1] [h2]Yissa Deep Realms[/h2] isn't just your run-of-the-mill action game; it's a full-on adrenaline rush, a hardcore platformer that'll push you to your limits. Released back in 2017 by PixelGreeds, this game doesn't hold your hand – it's all about tough choices and even tougher challenges. Picture this: multiple endings based on your decisions. Yeah, you heard me right. Your choices actually matter here. It's like life and death, but in pixel form. And if you're into punishing side-scrollers like [i]Ninja Gaiden[/i], [i]Mega Man[/i], or [i]X-Man '93[/i], then you're gonna feel right at home with [b]Yissa Deep Realms[/b]. Now, I gotta admit, I might be a tad biased 'cause I'm all about that old-school vibe. The soundtrack? It's like music to my ears, literally. And don't even get me started on those retro visuals – they're pure eye candy. But hey, whether you're gonna dive headfirst into this game or not, it all boils down to your personal taste. If you're craving a challenge and craving it bad, then this one's definitely worth a shot.

Keyboard controls are weird and using alternative fire is weird both on controller and keyboard as You have to hold up and shoot and it can be confusing at times while dodging projectiles and enemies. Platforming with all the traps and enemies around is challenging and it gets even harder on new game plus. There're plenty of weapons to unlock as well as some health and energy upgrades to unlock throughout the game as You progress. On new game plus boss fight seemed unfair but once I tested some weapons I was able to beat them after a few tries. I'm not sure if only the last boss has phases but You regain full health and energy each phase and with available weapons You can beat every phase before the boss starts using attacks that are hard to dodge. Environment looks dirty but overall design with enemies and bosses works pretty well imo. The game can be really hard and frustrating at times but bosses are fun to beat.

Good

No idea how i found it, but in a sense that's a really great discovery. First things first - Style is weird, not gonna deny it, but what i'm gonna deny for sure is that it's ugly- trust me, you'll get used to it in an hour. I liked the idea of different weapons, though i didn't use many, because laser + charge shot feels amazing and sufficient. Checkpoint system is extremely fair and when you expect it - it will be there. Platforming is very neat and there is a lot of skips through damage (i think they are intended). Storywise... I didn't like it. I tried to change the dialog answers once and the game told me - you have to choose only 1 option throughout the game ... Like come on! Why? Movement is predictable and really convenient (though don't forget to rebind controls) I think, that's for now. I liked it. 8 / 10.
