Aierlon

⠀

Aierlon is a first-person platformer that sees you taking part in a series of challenges posed by a small group of gods. Each god has a champion to represent them in these challenges, and you play as the champion of the god, Nuzion. Despite engaging in the same activities, however, you never see the other champions. The gameplay consists of a mix of platforming and puzzle solving, with the former involving numerous platform hoppings and wall runnings, and the latter encompassing various complex tasks that must be completed in order to progress to the next level. You are given a bow and arrow which can interact with these puzzles as well. Overall, it's a short game that isn't overly complicated, nor does it become noticeably tedious. The story is entertaining and it features multiple voice actors, which I thought was a nice surprise. The visuals have a distinct retro vibe; I'm not sure if that was the intention but I like it all the same. My only major complaint is the controls. They are way too slippery for their own good, especially when it comes to the mouse sensitivity, which there is no way to alter whatsoever. This isn't too bad half of the time, but in the more parkour-centric areas, it can become a bit of a problem. Aside from that, I enjoyed my time with Aierlon.
