Paratroopa1 01/04/20 1:50:11 AM #103:	#54 Years of release: 2011 (PC/360), 2015 (PS4/Vita), 2016 (XB1), 2018 (Switch) (always with the Switch being late to the party) Beaten?: Yes Wow, it feels like this one was a really long time ago. This is another one of those indie games that just feels like it came out of an earlier age, back when people were starting to wake up to the fact that indie games were A Thing That Exists Now. This one still really holds up though. It's pretty as hell and it plays like a dream; it's clever and unique enough that I could have been convinced that it came out yesterday, not ten years ago. It's an isometric hack-and-slash sort of game, but it's elevated by its colorful world and the infamously-awesome narration that goes on in the background as you explore it. It's a visual tour de force; seeing all of the ground just sort of burst into view as you walk never gets old to watch, and every frame looks like some kind of crazy painting. The game's fun too. The different selection of weapons you can use are all really fun and remarkably balanced - I spent a lot of time deciding which weapon combinations I wanted to take to any given level, and I never really wound up having a particular favorite or go-to setup, everything kind of has its pros and cons. Gradually building up the town and acquiring all these upgrades - as well as extra difficulty modifiers - is extremely satisfying too, that plus the plot gives the game a really satisfying sense of progression that keeps pushing it along. It's a game with plenty of content, but it's short enough to not overstay its welcome. I've replayed this game once and I think I could probably go back and replay it again now since it's been a while. I'd consider speedrunning it, but the speedrun of this game looks hard as fuck, there's so much tech and precise execution that I just don't think I'd be able to keep up. I also need to get around to playing Supergiant's followup games, Transistor and Pyre, both of which I've heard are fantastic. Like I said, I tried to play Pyre, but it didn't work out. It's been like eight years and I still have that "I'll dig my hole, you build a wall" song stuck in my head. <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:932439066] in Para's top...
