Sheba: A New Dawn

The game runs great, and the gameplay has a retro vibe that I enjoyed until the novelty wore off. New bosses and skills are introduced to shake things up which enhances the progress satisfaction. I like how the game slowly introduces new combos and abilities as you progress through the game. It makes progression feel more fluid and manageable. Combat is simple, but it has its charm. After memorizing enemy patterns, this turns into your traditional Metroidvania with the occasional boss to mix things up. Bosses are unique in flavor and strategy. Creative platforming. A great option to gain extra knowledge about the Arab and Middle Eastern Methodology.

Mira que me encantan los metroidvanias, pero este esta hecho para joder al jugador 100%, no hay un solo cuadrado de mapa que no este lleno de p*tos pinchos en lugares mas incomodos posibles. La hisoria tambien es meh, no hay diversidad de enemigos y el mapa es un desastre

This had the potential to be a fairly decent game. The story was somewhat interesting and some of the mechanics were fairly unique. It's May 2026, and the last update for the game was in July of 2024. Seems like the game has been finished for a while, right? Spoiler - the game is *not* finished. This should be Early Access, not a full release. The "Roadmap" released by the developers shows "More Main Quests, More Abilities" coming in October 2024, another major release in May 2025, and even more features beyond that. They never arrived. After a few miscellaneous adventures, you arrive at what appears to be the main quest of the game, which seems to be to retrieve four objects, each associated with one of the four classical elements, from four different areas. After finishing the first area, a dialog box popped up saying "To be continued...". The quest for this area did not complete, and there is nowhere else to go. I have literally reached the end of the content. Attempting to leave a zone for an unfinished zone pops up an empty dialog box. I thought at first maybe this meant "you aren't ready for this area yet", but apparently it also means the area isn't implemented. There are other places where blank dialog boxes appear, making it somewhat confusing because you don't always know if something important has happened or not. The levelling system is very Diablo-esque - the game gives you points which you allocate to your skills - but the game never tells you it's giving you these points or what to do with them. Similarly, your equipment is "gems" which you equip to give you various stat bonuses, but this is never explained. You could be level 10 and having difficulty with easier enemies simply because you didn't know you were supposed to make yourself stronger, or how to do it. There are also "skill points" which you use to buy new attacks with your sword, but the only way to get these points at the moment seems to be to purchase them from the shop. Again, this entire game mechanic is left completely unexplained, and you have to discover it entirely on your own. I absolutely cannot recommend this game. There are plenty of games out there with confusing messages, unexplained mechanics, and frustrating gameplay. These things make a game less appealing, but aren't necessarily a deal-breaker. The real issue is that the game simply is not finished. One-quarter of the main quest is done, and that's all. If it was languishing in Early Access and effectively abandoned by the developers, that would be one thing, but this is being sold as a completed product, and that is simply not the case. Hopefully someday they get around to finishing this game. After almost two years with no word, though, I'm not going to hold my breath.

引导做的是真的差

Very interesting game! It's fun and entertaining. The battle system is good and the graphic is gorgeous. The story is beautiful and the areas/environments encourage me to explore more in the game.

This game has the classics of metroidvania it reminds me of castlevania symphony of the night but with Aladdin style! What a lovely experience, highly recommended !
