NecroBoy : Path to Evilship

[table][th] Review by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34633003-Gaming-Masterpieces/lists/] Gaming Masterpieces [/url] - The greatest games of all time on Steam. [/th][/table] Is this game a masterpiece? No, not really. It is just a little puzzle game inspired by Pikmin. You are an arrogant little Necromancer controlling a bunch of raised Necrominions and order them to do simple tasks to help you advance through a large tomb full of closed doors. You are too lazy to even pull a switch or do anything at all, except commanding your minions around and annoying the only Necrominion that stays by your side during the whole game (your servant Lackey) with megalomaniacal speeches. All other Necrominions are gone whenever you solve a puzzle and go to the next room... so you have to find new minions. No idea why you just can't take them with you if you have already resurrected them? Anyway, if you like Pikmin clones and have already played the more complex Overlord, Kena, Okhlos, Ray's The Dead or The Wild at Heart, you may enjoy Necroboy as well. [u][b] Conclusion:[/b][/u] Little puzzle game using Pikmin mechanics.

If you follow my reviews for a while you know that I love games in which you control minions to do your work. I can't explain why I love it, but I just do. I had a lot of fun with Necroboy, but it is a bit rough around the edges. In Necroboy you only solve puzzles with the minions, not attacking. This is fine in my book, that way you don't see how the minions die in a sad way like in Pikmin for example. The puzzles start out quite easy but ramp up during the game... and then there are those "strange levels"(you can find the entrances to those levels at the beginning of levels 9, 18, and 26). Those levels are on a totally different planet and I wasn't able to solve those puzzles, they just went above my head. I hope that the game will get some extra quality-of-life features like being able to select one minion, now it is a bit annoying that if you want one you have to put them all to "sleep" (Is it really sleep?) and then try to only wake up one. That is one of the more challenging aspects of the game that seems not needed and can become a bit frustrating later on. None of the achievements are missable. Almost all of them you'll just get by playing through the game. the most challenging ones are those for completing the strange levels, and with that, the achievement for the skins as you'll find skins in those levels. I think that unlocking them all may take around 6h if you are good at solving this kind of puzzles or when using a guide, otherwise, it may take a little bit longer. I had a lot of fun with Necroboy: Path to Evilship. I hope someone can solve those "Strange" levels so I can go back into this game and get the last few achievements I'm missing.

Puzzle adventure + variety of puzzles + unique = A casual deadly puzzle. Revive necrominions to do your bidding in solving puzzles. Send them out or call them back. Would be cool if they could dance.

Dans la lignée de mes jeux préférés sur PS1, Necroboy est séduisant, résiste manette en main et propose une aventure courte mais intense. Necroboy arrivera-t-il à conquérir la crypte de Necroman et se sentir moins seul? C'est les questions que nous résoudrons au travers de nombreux puzzles à la difficulté croissante. A l'aide de nos minions tout mignons ( :O ), le monde rentrera dans une ère de ténèbre. Ou pas d'ailleurs, à vous de suivre l'histoire pour le savoir. Malgré quelques bugs facilement excusables, l'ambiance est bel et bien présente. Des graphismes au style mignon pour un décor aux accents de nécromancie. Une musique planante et inquiétante. Un adolescent aux pouvoirs terrifiants en quète d'amis. Et surtout des puzzles qui vous feront réfléchir de plus en plus! Necroboy, c'est la necrovie

Pick this up for your kid, maybe, if it's on sale for less than $10? Or just go use that $10 on gamepass and play a lot of puzzle games way better than this one. All the levels look identical, and all the puzzles are either pushing blocks or opening doors with switches. The minion AI gets stuck on itself and the environment with regularity, and that is capable of soft locking you from a level to the point you just gotta start it over, which is nuts consider once again all the puzzles are pushing blocks or flipping switches and the minions can only perform the two simple actions of push and pull. The "boss fights" are just you playing the same generic puzzles as prior that raises a red minion that one hits the "boss" and you move on, creating no real challenge for the player. The only real challenging puzzles are the secret levels, but it's still more of the same with a black and white filter on the level. The story? There is one: a selfish necromancer child with a little too much conscience to hurt the living, but not enough to stop him from raising the dead. He wants to takeover the crypt of his hero NecroMan, because queue sad sack story about being abandoned for his power and wanting revenge but, morals morals morals in the end. It's uninspired, and you'll likely find yourself wanting to skip it or just skipping it pretty early on as it doesn't really do much to progress anything in the game, it does however delay you from finishing it sooner (which is maybe gonna be a 4 hour experience if you also did the secret levels, I just couldn't be bothered for all the aforementioned reasons) as most the dailogue happens as the beginning of the levels. I love puzzle games, and games with puzzling elements, but this will never rise above being anything other than just a bad puzzle game available for way too high a price on Steam.

Halloween est passé, c’est triste mais c’est ainsi, et quand on parle de ces bons moments devant des films d’horreur, on peut aussi penser à ce qui s’approche le plus : un jeu d’horreur. Sauf que dans notre cas, c’est pas vraiment tout à fait le cas ! En effet, Necroboy est un puzzle game où vous dirigez le jeune nécromancien dans les tréfonds d’une crypte magique, qui est protégée par une demi tonne de casse têtes plus vicieux les uns que les autres. Et comme notre héros a un melon extraordinaire, il a décidé de n’activer aucun levier par lui-même, préférant utiliser ses pouvoirs magiques pour réveiller les morts et les faire bosser à sa place ! Bah bravo tiens ! La maniabilité du jeu est top, cela répond bien, il y a des explications au début du jeu pour vous permettre de comprendre ce que vous faites, et toutes les énigmes jusqu’au premier boss servent de tuto. Si au début tout semble presque trop simple, rassurez vous mes magiciens en herbes, vous allez bien vous casser le crâne pour résoudre certaines phases de jeu. Le souci principal de ce dernier étant sa rejouabilité médiocre pour ne pas dire inexistante ! Car oui, là est tout le problème de ce genre de jeu. Une fois que vous l’avez fini, vous connaissez déjà les réponses et vous le torchez au plus vite. Le fun de la découverte en moins. Et vu qu’il y a des niveaux secrets, je vous laisse imaginer ce que vous devrez faire ! Heureusement on peut rejouer certains niveaux sans pour autant tout vous refaire, grâce à une liste de niveaux quand ils sont déjà terminés bien sûr ! Necroboy est un jeu avec une direction artistique pas mal,des musiques qui font le café, et un humour bien second degrés, où l’on voit un Necroboy s’attelant à sa tâche de devenir le maître du monde alors qu’il n’est pas si méchant, et son laquais Lackey qui au final nous cache peut être plus qu’il ne veut bien le dire ! Véritable message sans le vouloir de ce qu’il se passe et dans les conséquences des harcèlements, quand ils sont continuels, et basés sur des préjugés, Necroboy est surtout un bon petit jeu pour se détendre et se fracasser de temps à autre le crâne contre la table ! C’était Ookamiette, Debout les morts !

NecroBoy est un jeu de puzzle-aventure dans la lignée des Pikmin, dans lequel vous naviguerez dans plusieurs niveaux en résolvant différentes énigmes à l’aide de vos serviteurs, les NecroMinions. Une fois ressuscités, ces serviteurs vous aideront à avancer dans les différentes salles de la crypte. Pourrez-vous atteindre les profondeurs obscures du donjon ? Pourrez-vous franchir les pièces secrètes ? NecroBoy : Path to Evilship promet de vous faire rire, pleurer et crier de frustration, une combinaison parfaite. Bref, si vous aimez les Puzzle, la reflexion et le tout dans un écrin de mignonnerie, lezgo les amis !!! will have to solve a lot of puzzles to progress further into the crypt! Or at least, he’ll make his NecroMinions do it for him. No violence in this game! NecroBoy is just a kid, godammit.

Necroboy est un bon petit puzzle game avec une DA sympathique et une durée de vie plus que correct pour le prix demander, si vous avez aimer Pikmin et rechercher un jeu qui vous demandera un peu de réfléchir, n'hésitez pas et acheter le rapidement !

[b]NecroBoy: Path to Evilship is a charming puzzle game with Pikman/Overlord-like mechanics dealing with control of minions.[/b] I'll admit that it didn't take me long before I realized that this game was not for me. My short playtime is indicative of how it's obvious that the game was tailored for another audience. I'll try to be as objective here as possible and I'll explain my reasoning for the negative review. [h1]Story[/h1] So the game begins with an exposition about our protagonist, Necroboy, with his origin story. Basically he was abandoned in a forest in which he discovered his necromantic powers which the villagers feared. Now he seeks the powerful Necronoss, an artifact owned by the late Necromancer, in the crypts. You'll get hints of Necroboy feeling like an outcast and wanting to prove himself as a powerful being. The dialogue banter consists of back-and-forth bickering between Necroboy and his Lackey. Obvious from the start, Necroboy is the childish megalomaniac while the Lackey is the mature voice who's ignored. I'm not saying that the writing is terrible, but it really [b]feels like it was intended for an audience of children[/b]. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] So this game plays pretty much like Pikman or Overlord in that [b]you resurrect minions and control them to solve puzzles[/b]. [b]You have the ability to raise minions, freeze them, and shoot a bolt at objects to direct them.[/b] I'll be honest, [b]the puzzles are extremely easy[/b]. This is another reason why [b]I think the game panders towards a younger audience.[/b] [b]The gist of what you'll do is shoot at levers for minions to pull, walk through doors, repeat.[/b] [b]I got bored[/b] immediately once I realized that this was what the gameplay was. Let me say that the gameplay works decently in that [b]the minion pathing is well done and the ability to shoot what you want them to activate is cool in itself[b]. A couple of nitpicks I would say are: [b]*Camera sensitivity feels so awkward and low *You cannot select one minion at a time, so you'd need to freeze all other minions to make sure only one moves.[/b] [h1]Art & Sound[/h1] I think the [b]artstyle is rather charming[/b] in its cartoonish way. It gives off that Halloween For Kids vibes that people may or may not enjoy. This is emphasized further by its [b]spooky Halloween music.[/b] [h1]Verdict[/h1] Okay so [b]the game just seems to be made with children in mind[/b]. So what's wrong with it? Well [b]I would've been much more lenient if the game did not cost $19.99 USD[/b] which is pretty steep for a game I'd buy for a 5th grader. Simply put, [b]I would only recommend this game if the price went down under $10 and if you wanted to give your kids something Halloween and easy.[/b] [code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code]

Je viens de passer un agréable moment sur une première session de qualité :) Je recommande chaudement pour une session de jeu posée, à se creuser gentiment la tête. Dans une petite atmosphère sympathique :) La prise en main se fait bien, et jusque la résolution des énigmes se révèlent gratifiante !
