Evil Genome 光明重影

At first glance Evil Genome looks like it could be a good sci-fi side scrolling adventure. A hard crash landing in a post apocalyptic wasteland leaves you with a case of amnesia and some critical lost equipment. It's a basic straightforward plot that should serve well to kick start the story but it quickly devolves into a long winded case of doodad hunting and never ending fetch quests. The combat is repetitive and clunky almost to the point of being turn-based. It does not flow well. The game is primarily a controller-only affair but in game menus still need to be partially navigated with keyboard input. There is also a degree of bad translation which makes some menu choices a bit difficult to figure out. Voice acting is affected by this as well and it's quite poor. At a point early on in the plot it doesn't really matter what the NPCs are saying as the primary goal keeps getting shifted on you. After fifteen hours plodding along in this I did not really care anymore to keep going. Overall I'd rate Evil Genome as a do not buy.

Really cool metroidvania hack n slash that plays smoothly on deck! Fun, responsive controls and fast, action packed gameplay! 💯 recommended
