Primal Light

[h1][b]Review[/b][/h1] [b][i]Primal Light[/i][/b] is a pretty good action-platformer. It draws heavily from the old school days of the platformer genre, and the pixel art complements this impression. [hr][/hr] [h3][b]The Highlights[/b][/h3] [list] [*]The pixel art details are amazing. The backgrounds, the tile sets, the enemy sprites, and the bosses; it's all marvelous, high-quality pixel art. It's a top highlight. [*]The gameplay is like the old school 2D platformers. It's stage-based; there are checkpoints scattered in a few points, and you have 5 lives to spare. If you lose all your lives, you start from the beginning of the stage. [*]The game's difficulty is pretty good; it's challenging. You can choose 3 difficulties at the start; I chose the Veteran one, which is supposed to be the normal difficulty. [*]It's a stage-based game, but there are alternative paths you can go through, and the game rewards your exploration with extra lives, increased health/heals, and charms, which give you permanent gameplay attributes (like in [b][i]Hollow Knight[/i][/b]), but you can only equip two at a time at checkpoints. [list][*]Also, in each stage, you get a new movement ability, like slide, dash, or double jump.[/list] [/list] [h3][b]The Drawbacks[/b][/h3] [list] [*]I know it was common in the old school days, but the instant kill abysses are just... not fun. Especially in the endgame areas. [/list] [hr][/hr] [h3][b]Conclusion:[/b][/h3] [b][i]Primal Light[/i][/b] is a well-developed game; it has good pace, challenging difficulty, exploration, and breathtaking aesthetics. It's very short, but it was fun to play almost all the way through to the end. It's a good game; the developers should be proud. The score is: [h2][b]7/10[/b][/h2]

Plain good oldschool. If you like Ghouls&Ghosts 2 (and it's unfairness) you should give it a try. It's totally unclear to me why the game is so hated. Maybe play more Mario then?

Отличный платформер! Жаль, что довольно короткий. Встречаются разные пасхалки, от уровня к уровню появляются новые противники, возрастает сложность, хотя самой сложной ощущается самая первая локация, хех. Однозначно советую, особенно если вы подустали от метроидваний, и хочется чего-то прямолинейного (ну почти) на вечерок-другой. И всё же, пусть вас не сбивает с толку первый уровень, дальше гораздо интереснее!

el juego esta muy bien me gustaria que tuviera una actualizacion de hogueras donde puedes regenerar los frascos y no esperar a morir para que te las den nuevamente ya que es muy cansado volverlo a rejugar.

A nice little action platformer with a few minor hiccups here and there - but altogether quite an enjoyable experience! Would recommend.

fatmaaaaa maken du heute spiel statt döna ? sowas kommt bei raus:steamthumbsdown:

Excellent SNES era inspired sidescroller platformer/beat'em up with PS1 graphics and sound. Music is really good and fits each level well, the bosses are challenging but not too difficult (some are a bit harder than others). I quit after stage 5 because the standing dash makes the movement too fast paced and generic for my liking, and ideally the game should have ended around there for replayability sake (no-death run, speedrun etc.)

graficznie bomba, ale przekombinowana, poziom trudności zbyt wysoki. Zwłaszcza dalsze levele gdzie przejście x plansz, jeden błąd i od początku, aż dojdzie się gdzieś do momentu autosave, ale wcześniej można zęby zjeść. Odradzam, chociaż grafika i muzyka piękne

Decent game, it's a bit basic. The pixel art ranges from mediocre to excellent (mostly the bosses). Combat is extremely simple and doesn't really evolve as the game goes on. I think the price is right for what you get.

Action platformer similar to shinobi - Fun
