good game 8 bit
I dont want to kick them while theyre down, but the game simply does not have a good flow and fails to improve on the genre with decades of experience, there is just so much better stuff out there that you could be playing.
I got this as a bundle throw in... but it's legit great. Graphics, music, control, feel - all on point. Absolutely worth full price if you're looking for a classic platformer.

Jogo lindo, muito bem feito estilo Adventure/Plataforma 8bits. Paguei 1 dólar na Fanactical.
Eski tarz platform oyunu seven varsa mutlaka baksın.
Have you ever heard of Sydney Hunter before? I hadn't either. Sorry devs, I'm not really into the whole homebrew community. However, as CollectorVision usually makes their games for outdated systems, they decided to release this one on pc. It's a short little old-school treat. There are definitely some design choices I wouldn't have made, however, it is beatable and pretty fun. It's not quite a metroidvania, but it's more of an easy mode old school castlevania with a few modern upgrades. Overall, a pretty decent time for 10 bucks.
we need chinese, we need chinese, we need chinese. we need cloud save, we need cloud save, we need cloud save. we need man file free, we need man file free, we need man file free. 我们需要中文,云存档,个人资料功能不受限。游戏是满满复古怀旧风,到处是塞尔达传说,银河战士,恶魔城的影子,喜欢这类型的不要错过了。没有中文,字有点多,有些影响体验,还是给个鼓励性好评了。fanatical,它处的自定义包入的本体约2元。目前就这,看以后追评。
After a slow start, Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan turns into a quite wholesome metroidvania. It's nothing new or special, just does the job with a good map and good rooms, and somewhat lame bossfights. Unfortunately, it has my usual metroidvania gripe as well - too few checkpoints. With that caveat accepted, the game's worth a shot.
A nasty, obnoxious little game, designed to cause maximum frustration and annoyance. I wanted to like this so much.. it's my ideal game on paper - 2d, retro, adventure / exploration platformer.. but in reality it's rendered awful by the high difficulty and deliberately obnoxious game design elements, such as massive gaps between save points - meaning, if you die (and it's very easy to do so), you have to repeat loads of carefully timed platforming, collecting etc. to get back to where you were.. it's horrible. Add to this, the fact saving takes way longer than it should, and that you can't mute the grating chiptune soundtrack (wtf?) and you have a lesson in aggrivation. I hope the devs get locked in a room full of mosquitoes.
Previously en Manqueando... "Kena and the bridge of spirits", que era realmente bonito. Y en el episodio de hoy de Manqueando... "Sydney Hunter and the curse of the Mayan" Héte aqui un juego a la antigua usanza. Uno de esos de explorar un templo al estilo Rick Dangerous, con toques metroidvania. ¿De que va? Pues encarnamos a Sydney Hunter, un explorador que se queda atrapado en un templo y debe restaurar el calendario para evitar que el malo blablablabla. Hasta aqui puedo leer. Si quereis saber más, os lo comprais, j*didos tacaños. El juego no está nada mal. El control es correcto, la música está bien y la dificultad es... alta... o no. ¿Y que quiere decir esto? Pues muy sencillo. No es dificil avanzar, pero si por un descuido o por cualquier otra causa mueres... te tocará repetir desde el último punto de guardado. Y ahi radica su mayor dificultad. Respecto a bugs... 1. En el último boss se me colgó una vez. Nada más, salvo que cuente 3 logros que no me han saltado, pero como eso me da bastante lo mismo... pues no me importa, pero hay que mencionarlo. ¿Y cuales són las pegas? Pues no muchas. Los bosses són lo más flojo del juego, imitando en parte a los de la saga Mega-Man. Sin embargo el problema es que tienden más a buscar el contacto que a otra cosa, y en ocasiones están a un paso de ser injugables (por suerte no tienen demasiada vida y se pueden superar). El último boss en concreto es un peñazo importante. En primer lugar, lucharemos con los otros bosses, aunque si lo logramos, ya no tendremos que repetir esta parte. Menos mal. Pero aun así hay 2 fases más, a cual más pesada. En la primera nos pegamos con un tio grande, y en la segunda con un tio pequeño. Baste decir que ambas fases se hacen laaaaaargas, y que si morimos en alguna de ellas, tocará repetir ambas. Mención especial para la 3a fase de la pelea, cuando nos pegamos con el tio pequeño, que me costó darme cuenta de que me mataba, ya que uno de los ataques enemigos es poco claro. En cualquier caso, el juego está muy bien y lo he disfrutado bastante. De modo que si quereis un metroidvania con una jugabilidad "a la antigua" (ojo, esto no es un negativo ni mucho menos) al que echarle unas horas (unas 10-12), Sydney Hunter es una buena opción. Asi que... sip, le cascamos un 7 y una buena recomendación. Especialmente si sois jugadores veteranos (y me refiero a por antigüedad, no por horas jugadas). Y en el próximo episodio de Manqueando... j*der, ni idea... empiezan las rebajas cuando escribo esto, asi que... quien sabe. Stay tuned for new updates!
