Reknum Cheri Dreamland is a sidescrolling action game that really wants to be Zelda, Wonder Boy and Cuphead all at the same time, but doesn't have the production values or game feel to be any of those. It's better than the studio's other available offerings, that's for sure. But it's still not a good game. Here are the positives: - The graphics are simple and won't hurt your eyes. - The music is whimsically jazzy and probably the best part of the game. The devs even included the loops in OGG format in the game's folder. - The Boots of Light are useful for backtracking. - It's a more playable game than VOID or PLOID. Now for the negatives: - Cheri's attack animation looks really bad. It's only like, two or three frames and it looks really choppy. - The choices and use of sound effects and voice clips are jarring. The actress for Cheri does an okay job with grunts, but the way they are used is a little strange. - The old-timey grain filter the game uses is obnoxious at times, and it can't be removed. - The art style used for the cutscene stills is inconsistent with the in-game graphics. The cutscenes are a lot more like the rubber-hose style advertised, but the in-game graphics look more like generic pixel art. - Climbing ladders and getting off them is very janky and harder than it should be. This was the case with climbing ladders in PLOID on the NES, too. - Wall climbing is also quite cumbersome. Cheri Dreamland seems to use Metroid-style wall jumping instead of Mega Man X-style wall jumping, which is usually fine, but the game's level design isn't quite optimized for it. - The fairy sections are neat in concept, but enemy placement, one-hit resets and the fairy's slow speed make these levels agonizingly slow and frustrating to clear. - Despite the levels being fairly linear in progression, some levels require you to backtrack to an earlier part of the level to open a door later in the level. This isn't so much bad as it is annoying, since the Boots of Light make the journey bearable. - The game is very inconsistent with checkpoints. Sometimes they are too far apart, and sometimes they are too close to each other. - The game only saves your progress after you clear a world. This can be frustrating if you want to quit the game mid-world, and can't because Nape Games can't seem to understand the concept of quicksaves or save states. This game was intended to be a holdover game for Reknum: Fantasy of Dreams, but all it does is make me wish I hadn't backed the project on Kickstarter. This is a subpar game, and I feel both insulted and disappointed that I have to wait for a game that probably won't be much better than this bootleg Cuphead/Wonder Boy wannabe. Stay far away from anything with Nape Games on the cover.
