Rack N Ruin

Disclaimer: I only played 2.5hrs and got bored (so there may be good stuff later I missed) Disappointing, repetetive. Writing is pretty good, though not brilliant. It wasn't *bad* - I just hoped for something great and it wasn't there

This is my first review. First thought I had on the first minutes of gameplay was it's similar to Zelda but with bullet hell combat. Pretty fun game with nice and colourful aesthetics. Awesome soundtrack, specially in bosses. Despite being a demon, Rack is an adorable character that presents a funny situation in which he thinks himself bigger than he really is. The worst aspect for me was that a couple of puzzles can be frustrating and have no explanation at all, and sometimes you feel lost. You don't know what to do next. Also, it's really easy to miss many breakable walls or power-ups unless you know where they are. Got it on a sale but worth what I paid. My 9h gameplay time is what took me to complete it once, so it's not that short, if you're wondering that. It has some flaws, but it's a hidden gem that I feel deserves more attention.

It's a Zelda clone, except: the spelling errors are embarassingly bad and frequent, your character quacks when you take damage, design is questionable. Story is so critical to single-player adventure games, and yet it feels like the devs just gave up on the dialogue. You get a plethora of consumable items, but most of them don't have any semblance of a satisfactory description. One of them is a phoenix feather, which you'd imagine resurrects yourself if you take fatal damage and are obviously hard to come by. Then why the hell are you able to equip use and waste them? Worst of all, there's a lot of hidden secrets and caves you blow up with bombs like in Zelda, which sounds pretty neat. Thing is, most of the time though you need keys to actually get the loot which is usually just more garbage consumables, and damn do you need a lot of keys. You can blow open an unmarked cave to find an empty room with a locked door, and if you're all out of keys there's nothing you can do. Pretty much "Rack N Ruin"s the satisfaction of exploration. IMO, with some respectable polish to the writing if nothing else this game would be stellar. Right now, meh.

gameplay trop statique

[h1]Rack N Ruin - affrontez le bien au nom de votre maître Ruin[/h1] Vous jouez un puissant sorcier, Rack et votre habitude est de détruire les mondes, vous y prenez énormément de plaisir. Votre Seigneur et Maître, Ruin, exige de vous la prise d’une planète... pour lui donner plein d’esclaves. Il faudra donc affronter les habitants de cette planète (la Terre) qui ne veulent pas se laisser faire. Ce jeu est une petite merveille aussi bien en terme de réalisation qu’en terme d’histoire. Pour tous les amateurs de jeu d’action de type hack and slash, foncez, achetez le (en plus, il est vraiment pas cher) ! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=767820179 [url=http://www.graal.fr/2016/09/11/test-rack-n-ruin-la-version-pour-steam/]Pour lire l'ensemble de mes impressions sur Rack N Ruin.[/url]

La idea esta bien pero, el apartado gráfico no me ha terminado de gustar. Quizás le de otra oportunidad y cambie mi análisis.

Tags: Topdown - Isaaclike Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Console/retro flash game grade with Xbox360 pad support. Not twinstick. Limited field of view. Cluttered. Secondary attacks all are consumables. Gameplay loop a bit bland. This is is a simple zelda style hack&slash adventure where you get keys, clear out mazes of small sprites that hurt you on contact, pull levers and activate little cutscenes. The animation work is minimal. Movement is a bit on the floaty side and combat is a bit monotonous with the spam of a main attack and the careful use of a consumable secondary. No XP or much RPG element here. All there is to do is try to collect more powers and consumables to swap between using the shoulder pads. Game does not support D pad and is not twinstick which hurts gameplay quite a bit, arguably for no reason. There is a world map which seem sto cover a generous amount of locations. The audio loop could have been more varied. Conclusion: It is sort of a polished but bland indie game with acceptable but not very satisfying controls and mechanics. Does not quite meet the standard to be kept in permanent library.

It has a beautiful art style and scenery but the game lacks in gameplay and ingaging story telling... Often you dont know where to go or what to do. I would not recomend it becouse it gets boraing after a few hours.

Jeu un petit peu spécial, car vous pouvez le finir normalement sans tout faire ou alors faire tous les petites choses annexes vous permettant de réussir plus facilement la fin. C'est un style Zelda avec ses propres mécanique de jeu. La direction artistique avec un style dessin et des musique angoissante basé sur l'univers du jeu reste sympathique.

It is good to play as the villain , and it is better when you win in the end
