En mi cabeza, los indies estilo metroidvania ya no dan para más, los hemos jugado de todo tipo, con mezclas locas y con posibilidades infinitas, pero de alguna manera, cada año acabo jugando a alguno que ofrece algo nuevo que no esperaba. Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo posiblemente lo peor que tenga es el nombre, porque por el resto de cosas intenta dar siempre un pasito más en, como ya he dicho, un género que no parece que lo permita. Visualmente usa las limitaciones de una Game Boy Advance. Narrativamente es una historia sobre la lucha de clases disfrazada en una película de venganzas. Y jugablemente es un cúmulo de sorpresas y mecánicas poco (o nunca) vistas de yo-yo que puede pasar en un segundo del látigo típico de los Belmont a una plataforma temporal a la que agarrarse y no caer a un precipicio. Sí que es cierto que muchos de los puzzles, secciones de plataformas o unos combates nos recordarán en algún que otro momentos a situaciones que hemos vivido en otros juegos del estilo, pero en la mayoría de casos, ya sea por la innovativa localización o por las posibilidades del yoyo, estaremos todo el rato a la expectativa de cuál es la siguiente sorpresa que nos tiene preparado el juego.
muito bom e divertido
What the heck, there was so much game in my game! I wasn't expecting how much content there was! This is such an underrated but brilliant game. Puzzles, platforming, yoyos, oh my! 10/10 - would recommend!
好棒的手感和谜题,战斗足够有挑战又不会太过分,谜题在世界的散布设计得非常棒,每晚打开游戏就算没什么期待,也总是不自觉沉浸,体验非常难得,是本年最沉浸得一款。有些英文单词很不常见,大概不会卡关,但有中文就更好了
Recomendadísimo! Un juego que te lleva a la gba y recuerda los zeldas 2d. Tiene un sistema de habilidades que hace que moverse por el mapa y resolver los puzles que presenta sea una experiencia muy divertida. En algún punto la cantidad de controles hace que los puzles sean más difíciles por no hacer la combinación a tiempo, pero aún así movimiento y combate son disfrutones. Dura el tiempo justo, me lo he pasado con el 90% y quizás me eche una vuelta para ver los secretos que me faltan.
Pipistrello nails the feel of classic SNES and GBA games, it's true, but the special sauce of it is in the yoyo abilities you collect that allow you to fully explore its secrets. The game does a fantastic job teaching the player the basics of each move, and stringing (no pun intended) them all together to grab a previously out-of-reach upgrade feels great. Just solidly fun from beginning to end. Really enjoyed my time with it.
Great game if you like Mina the Hollower or the older Zelda games you will probably love this the yoyo mechanics are sick and the puzzles are cool
打分:8/10 感觉是因为先通关了《挖掘者米娜》的缘故,玩起悠悠蝠来格外轻松,甚至轻松到了有些昏昏欲睡的地步。游戏默认难度下,即便是扛着佩皮塔的升级debuff进行探图和战斗,也始终无法形成任何有效压力。在不把回血玫瑰的默认掉率调为零、或者debuff禁止掉落的情况下,玫瑰的爆率实在过高;而且就算禁止玫瑰也无妨,毕竟还有主角过于无敌而且开场教学即给特殊招式——格挡,挡弹幕挡怪物攻击。”环游世界“?”硬币翻转“?不好意思你说什么我不认识。 果然老不死者的肌肉记忆——盾反,就是无敌的。 解密也是因为上个月初才通关的《远星物语》,全程没有遭遇任何难点。两者的解密核心都是镜面反射,所以很容易举一反三,更不要说悠悠蝠的解密难度还是前者的弱化版本。 游戏的流程设计非常值得夸赞。除了开场教学就给的“离绳抛掷”之外,地图四大核心区域各自对应一种核心探图能力,在设计上是少有的能够完美对应的典范。四个区域无论先去哪一个,都能获得很好的探索体验,传送点放置合理,回头路极少,而且区域之间的流程衔接和能力混用也做得非常到位。 主角的固定debuff、拾取的半数金币用于还债的能力解锁方式也很有意思,让探图时拾取的每一分金钱都能够得到即时的正反馈,我感觉这是其他游戏非常值得学习和借鉴的地方。 但由于难度实在太低,所以导致无论在跑酷、解密还是战斗上,都很难形成有效的记忆点。通关之后,唯一值得回味的只剩下“家禽足球俱乐部体育场”的最终橄榄球boss战,遛狗跑酷一边撞怪一边运送橄榄球,三连射门直接拿下很开心。其他boss即便是扛着再沉重的debuff也都是一遍过,默认难度还是太低了啊喂。 不过我相当讨厌”斐达嘉年华大会“的最终boss林克恩。明明主角的机动能力很强,却架不住一个像得了小儿多动症一样满地乱跳的怪物,就好像游戏突然开了加速一样,我觉得这里应该是制作组没有调整好boss的活动频率,毕竟像《嗜血代码2》那样玩家角色和boss动作速率不一致的情况,已经算得上是比较低级的设计失误了。 还有钩子的吸附问题。游戏内主角的溜溜球无论是对墙壁还是道具都能够有很好的吸附,不用过于刻意对准。但我不明白是因为钩子的判定像素太小还是其他原因,用钩子跑酷时总得瞄得极准,这一点在”逃脱屋“玩跑酷小游戏拿限时奖励时,令我几近破防——我不明白,而且我很难过,这是游戏里唯二让我感到莫名不快的地方。 最后,不管怎样,虽然没有全收集,但还是完结通关啦!我再也不想勾钩子啦!!!
Somehow missed this when it released last year, but it was recommended to me when discussing Mina the Hollower so I picked up the bundle and I had a blast! The great soundtrack, creative moveset, and clever navigation puzzles kept me interested till the end.
Perfectly paced and infinitely charming. New fun yoyo mechanics are introduced throughout the game to keep you on your toes. I'm also a sucker for any game that lets you play as a lil guy poking your nose around a hub town to uncover secrets!
