Clash of Puppets

Tags: 3PP - Third Person Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Recycles assets. Too clunky for children and too shallow for adults. Sokoban and leverpulling elements are unengaging. Combat is streamlined to a fault. Xbox360 pad detected out of box. Offering real PC monitor resolutions. Art style is interesting but not enough assets overall. Map design is linear and uninspired. Not much in the way of crafting a world, setting a lore, or even implementing any dialogue. Action and platforming fight for the spotlight but neither is done brilliantly, and in the case of platforming, suffers greatly due to broken controls. The fixed over the shoulder camera mostly works but is again a symptom of limited design. Gives a confused impression. On the one hand you have simplified arkham style combat and simple sokoban and lever manipulation for progression. The game recycles a lot of assets but is cute and vaguely distracting. You'd think its aimed at children. However you get no checkpoints whatsoever, implying somewhat of a roguelike tradition which does not fit here. The platforming starts intensifying and double jumping becomes required, at first it is just taxing your health, but then you get pitfalls with sliding rocks and missing a platform can trap you under the rock killing you deep into the level. Many times over. Simply because the game does not register the input for the double jump... it is so finnicky and clunky. The ranged combat feels woefully inadequate as foes tank too much damage and the ammo is limited. Melee autostuns however which gives a respite.

Nice game...

Vou carregar um revolver e vou atrás do developer 1 Tiro pelo level design agoniante 1 Tiro pelos efeitos sonoros enlouquecedores 1 Tiro pelas tristes boss figthts 1 Tiro pela inutilidade de querer coletar as moedas 1 Tiro pelos péssimos momentos de parkour que o personagem escorrega na beirada e com a última bala vou me matar por ter zerado isso
