Demon Tides

実績コンプリートまでクリア アスレチック系の3Ⅾアクションゲームが好きならプレイして後悔のない出来です。 攻略していくごとに増えていくスキルを駆使すれば結構無理やりなショートカットとかも作れるので楽しい。 前作未プレイなので仲間との関係は不明だったが、会話の日本語訳は全く問題ない 音楽も個人的には好みだった。 ただ一部、事前にスキル持ってないと攻略できないんじゃないか？というギミックがあったりエリアボスと戦うための事前準備が分かりずらい部分もあった。

What an excellent excellent excellent platforming game. Perfectly rewarding. I would love a bit of improvement on the textures of the very large structures as they look a little low fidelity but overall this is an incredible game that I am deeply enjoying. This coming from someone that has hated Mario for a long time...so for me to enjoy this game THIS much is a testament to how much they got right. Fun characters. Great animation on the main character actions. Great character design. Simple fun story. Funny dialog. VERY VERY EXCITED for a sequel hopefully

Попрыгушки с особой атмосферой. Знание того как двигаться из первой части помогает быстро освоиться.

Demon Tides starts strong but only gets better with time. It's core mechanics and world design are very special in the realm of 3D platformers. It makes collectathons feel fresh again, not only by making the world boundless, but by fully utilizing the scale and endless possibilities in level design such boundlessness offers. Towards the final third, this game has some of the most creative 3D platforming you'll ever see. With tight challenges organically integrated in a world that is surprisingly atmospheric as well as interesting in its narrative framing. An incredible step up from the solid predecessor.

Great game so far. Lots of content to go through and an enjoyable level of challenge. Only complaint is that some things could've been refined better like NPC/cutscene animations, small mobs, and voice acting. Otherwise great game.

I caught wind of this game alongside its predecessor, Demon Turf, around when Bubsy 4D started making waves for not being an embarrassment, contrary to Bubsy's reputation. I bought both Demon Turf and Demon Tides at the same time and decided to play both, Turf then Tides. When I played Demon Turf, I was unimpressed, and was pretty harsh in my review of it, so this review of Demon Tides will be put in that context and there'll be a lot of comparisons between the two. There were so many core design decisions that were baffling to me while playing Demon Turf, and I ended up quitting Demon Turf after the 4th world, after gaining a time slow power and being so appalled with its use that my patience ran out. I actually had a ton of hesitation towards starting Demon Tides as a result, giving it about a month and a half of time before deciding to give Tides a chance. Long story short, Demon Tides is an amazing reversal for me. A ton of the quirks and problems that Demon Turf had are replaced with smooth traversal options that feel great and flow so well into each other. In Turf, your player character is a 2D sprite in a 3D environment, causing problems with readability on depth when trying to do precise platforming. Tides has full 3D models for its characters, which isn't really an amazing accomplishment, but compared to Turf the feeling is night and day for how well you can control. Your default means of movement are so well varied that the in-game moves list is justified and a very useful resource, but after a few hours of play I was able to get a grip on some of the more advanced techniques, and once you get all of them down, it's very easy and enjoyable to enter a flow state and breeze through stages. They also made a good decision to make snake form (a high speed running option) a default and mapped to its own button. There's no more clunky swapping between tools, and there are a ton of equippables that give you the means to find your own movement niche (I pretty much never took off high-speed dribble and fire sprint once I got them.) Most importantly, none of the equipment is required, with your base moveset being enough to complete the game from start to finish. Also, thank god they dropped the "psychic fist" attacks from Turf. It always felt like it never functioned properly, and swapping that out for a dash that interacts with all your other moves uniquely was such a better design decision. The level design is a pretty big improvement from Turf to Tides. First off, Tides drops the "select a level" format from Turf: you're out on the open seas in Tides with every level being its own island. While this does cut back on the amount of biome variety from Turf, levels in Tides are more condensed for high quality platforming. Tides also introduces rope shortcuts to get around the level, meaning you aren't strictly tied to placing down your own checkpoints (and also you only get 1 checkpoint to infinitely replace rather than a set number that can't be removed once placed.) This is much less frustrating than the first game that sometimes had levels be way too big for their own good. The music is also an improvement. I wouldn't say Turf's soundtrack was bad, but some of the more used themes (like the hub for example) got really grating with their use of a kind of Splatoon like "nah-nah-nah" vocal track. There are no such problems with Tides, and there was a good amount of songs that vibe super well with the theme of the game (I'm not a music guy so forgive me for not really being able to go more in-depth.) Go look up some early level themes if you want a good example. Also, while this isn't really that important, being able to customize your character does improve the fun. Turf only had color options and it didn't really feel adequate. Tides has a ton of different options available for hairstyles, hair colors, and costumes so you can probably find one or two combos that you like. Overall, Demon Tides is well worth the default asking price of $25 USD. Fans of 3D platformers (and Super Mario Sunshine in particular) will probably really like this game. I am glad that nearly every one of my complaints about the first game was addressed, and I'll probably play Bubsy 4D in the future.

Extremely fun platformer and has some fantastic movement to it. It's a lot more open ended then Demon Turf and I enjoy that here, very snappy going from island to island. Quite liked the writing too.

ost is tuff, platforming is tuff, stickers r tuff, vibes are tuff. its tuff
