Artemis: God-Queen of The Hunt

After ~2 hrs I give this a strong recommend. Here are my thoughts. 1) The core of the game is the movement and it's very smooth. There's a lot of nuance and skill in this regard, and I am still far from mastering. However, I'm at the point where it's fun to play. It's well designed. 2) The game is hard. I couldn't get through level 1 on the standard difficulty, but could relatively easily get through the first 3 levels on the easy mode. 3) The level design is interesting and has good variety. 4) The visuals/ambience/music/lore are pretty and add immersion to the game. I look forward to getting through the rest of game once my skills are up to par!

Super weird game that isn't even worth the low price. For one the game lacks any polish whatsoever. Hitboxes are not even close to the drawn object. Which results in having to memorize invisible borders that you have avoid. Enemies are super frustrating and don't feel like they belong there. Mainly because their movement feels random which ruins runs because you need to hit the front of the enemy to kill but some stages don't allow you to wait. Checkpoints can fly away when aimed at which means you won't get an checkpoint. Which even happens off-screen. So you never know whether you will get the next checkpoint or not. So you end up replaying a section just because you can't figure out where the checkpoint bird is. Sometimes that means that you need to shot at enemies from a different angle because otherwise the checkpoint flies away. Controls don't feel good because there is no proper tutorial. Even a written one would help. Because right now you just get confused why your inputs...

Minimalistic fast paced jumping platformer. Delivers if it is your thing.

Certainly delivers on it's promise of tight, fast-paced gameplay... definitely on the hard side, but if that's what you're into then go for it!

Exactly what it says on the tin, and impeccable vibes to match. 10/10, i still havent beaten chapter 1 on Goddess mode

It's a hard game, i can't deny that. But it's just bad gamedesign. First of all, why would you make the robots hitbox so small. And if you wait too long, they raise their leg an are practically invincebible. The death and spawn animatinos are too long. In a game based on trial and error i shouldnt wait like 10 sec to get the chance to try again. The hitboxes of the spikes and wheels are way too big compared to the models. A lot of the game mechanics weren't explained although there is a tutorial. My biggest issue is the checkpoints. Why are they dissapearing when i'm aiming near the white birds. In my opinion this is just a bad game mechanic. The next point is more of a personal opinion, but for me the controls are too direct. Comming from other platformers i am used to not changing the directions immediately. In general i think its a fun idea of a platformer combined with a shooter is not bad, but it's poorly implemented.

Good premise, but without controller support, no thanks!

Very challenging, but still fair. Each level is fairly short, but difficult enough where it takes quite a while to complete. Lots of potential for fans of speed running with interesting movement and tech.

A study in elegant game design. Artemis moves with speed and precision, darting up Mount Olympus amidst an Io-cyberpunk wasteland to restore the Greek Mythos to its proper order. Her arrows sear the robotic eye, and her wings evade whirling, aberrant automata. Of note is her ability to pause mid-air, Neo-like, surrounded by a matrix of death, and wield time's arrow to guide her own. Where are the other gods? It's not clear, but helpful ravens and spirit-beings along the way bespeak the shape-shifting Pantheon. When caught by a stray blade, she herself succumbs into a flutter of crows. These beckon you to don the God-Queen's mantle one more time; a god never truly dies.

Very challenging but rewarding. The controls are well designed so you're zipping around the map in no time. This is a classic platformer so be ready for tricky timing and crazy jump combos. So much fun when you pull them off!
