The Tribulation Entanglement

Edited review after all achievements on third playthrough. Completed first run in 87 min. It's short, but good. Art direction was the initial draw for me, despite being a little put off by some negative reviews re: the gameplay, I was surprised that it actually feels smooth like the original Metroid. No jank here. It's just old school gameplay. It has enemies that can knock you off platforms, but it's not that hard. It's usually just a case of using your "alt fire" weapon instead of trying to conserve ammo. If you're old enough to remember Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga and the original Metroid on the NES, you recognise the atmosphere of isolation in a hostile, bleak alien environment. Although far more simple than both of those games, this is not a bad thing and it was well worth the money for the unique experience. Looking forward to the developer making a longer game, whilst keeping the minimalist focus. "Hidden gem" is quite an overused term, but this game is certainly one. If you're looking for another game with these ingredients, check out "Overwhelm".

Very interesting and fairly challenging game but challenging in the sense that it's difficult if you don't have a good strategy of getting through certain sections.

Was lost in the maze until I found out I could destroy blocks. 10/10 would whip with umbilical cord again!

セールで180円で購入。 元から高くはないがそのくらいならオススメ。 システム的には悪魔城ドラキュラっぽいちょっとリーチのある腕なのか鞭的なもの(XiコントローラーXボタン)と、SPを消費するサブウェポン(Bボタン)。 鞭は上にも撃て、しゃがみや降りは出来ない。 敵やギミックパターンを覚えれる初見殺しな感じで、その辺はシャドーオブザビーストが近いか。 やってて思い出したのはバイオ戦士DAN。 アレ的なパワーアップはないが、クソゲー的な部分でも近いかも知れない。 大体、画面切替毎に自動セーブされるので、コンティニューはそこから。 グラフィックはモノクロながら凄く良く、多重スクロールしてたりするんだが、手前が地形か背景か見た目では判断しにくく、隠し通路に回復とか多いので、その辺も覚えゲー的。 BGMは重苦しく単調だが雰囲気には合っている。 雰囲気だけは非常に素晴らしいが、ゲーム自体は微妙な惜しいゲーム。
