上手难度有点高,打boss好难。推荐
Игра 'Jack Axe: The Trial' – это динамичный платформер, который зацепил своей оригинальной механикой метания топора. Увлекательный геймплей, где нужно ловко маневрировать и решать головоломки, используя верный топор Джека, не дает заскучать ни на минуту. Пиксельная графика выполнена в приятном ретро-стиле, а саундтрек отлично дополняет атмосферу приключений. Управление интуитивно понятное, но для мастерского владения топором потребуется практика. Уровни хорошо спроектированы и предлагают различные испытания, требующие точности и креативности. Особенно порадовало наличие секретов и коллекционных предметов, что добавляет реиграбельности. Единственный минус – иногда возникают небольшие проблемы с коллизиями, но это не критично и не портит общее впечатление. В целом, это отличная игра для любителей хардкорных платформеров, желающих испытать свои навыки и получить массу удовольствия. Рекомендую к ознакомлению!

"Jack Axe: The Trial" is a rather mediocre 2D retro pixel GameMaker Studio kitbash platformer, one of many thousands of retro pixel platformers on Steam, all of them terrible. This one is no exception, despite the agreeable price, the gameplay is weak. The idea is that you throw an axe around to help you move around in this somewhat floaty, janky precision platformer. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
操作有问题,许多板子只能上没有下。 靠方向瞄准,比较吃手速,慎入。
The boss doesn't even have a blood bar?Too much torture。
太难了,老年玩家希望重返20岁再来玩
Movement in keyboard need some adjustment to PC player. So for now not recommended for PC only but for controller sure.
很好玩
