An Imp? A Fiend!

Tags: Platformer Addtional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Tight margins parkour action in puzzle-like screens even for simple area to area navigation. Restrictive level design despite large moveset. A rather audiovisually unappealing 8 bit platformer. Xbox360 controls work great, control scheme makes sense and is responsive, the way the game handles wall gripping and dashes makes the movement rather unrestrictive. Death is handled very graciously as you are simply spawned back at the beginning of your current screen with full health and respawned foes. While a great deal of freedom of movement is possible, the array of solution to get from point A to point B is not. Unless you have a keen eye to map your way out expect a fair portion of trial and error. I kept this game due to odd vampire, demonic theme that was emerging early game, but ultimately the core gameplay kept me from revisiting it in depth, and now the saturation of high quality platformers makes this a no-go.
