Flynn: Son of Crimson

[h1]The Good Stuff![/h1] + Lovely visuals with a soundtrack that compliments the overall mood of the game. I appreciate the changes in scenery, from forests, snow capped mountains, to oooooozing swamps and the tunes that accompany the adventure are really good, and I especially loved the more dark, somber tracks! + 3 different weapons, 3 different elemental abilities, and a decent skill tree is awesome. Being able to mix and match how to approach combat is welcome, and the skill tree even offers some combos that help to make combat better. It's by no means an elaborate system, but it's still appreciated for sure! + Just a minor plus, but I enjoyed the boss fights. Each big baddie has a unique look and their own set of attacks and I had a good time going up against them! [h1]All The...Meh Stuff![/h1] - The story is pretty boring. It's a generic 'save the world' tale that doesn't do anything special. Luckily, the visuals and music helped to keep me motivated to continue...

Frankly, this game faeks like a cult favorite GBA game. One that I often wished looked like one as well, with a LCD shader. It's simple yet richly varied, and always fun. The walljumping input us very frustrating though. Really wish I didn't have to keep moving towards a wall to trigger it, especially since it's limited to a specific weapon anyway.

[h2] Introduction [/h2] The game is pretty good pixel art 2D Action-Platformer. The story is a generic "the chosen one young boy has to save the world from a demonic invasion", the art style is beautiful, music is good and the combat does its job. [h2] Story 6/10 [/h2] I know some people believe that the story in a video game is like the story in a pron movie: it's expected to be there, but it's not that important. I strongly disagree, I like well written stories in video games. The story in Flynn SoC is a very stereotypical: You are the chosen one that unlocks some magical power destined for him and you're supposed to save the world from a dark lord. I'm not bothered by the fact that the story is generic good vs evil stuff, especially since this game is meant for a family friendly audience. What I dislike about it is that the stereotypical characters are not memorable at all. In a classic good vs evil story, you should end up really hating the bad faction and get very attached to...

I wish I could give a neutral response. It's not a BAD game by any stretch. It's just also not a particularly GREAT game either. It's...fine. 6.5/10

Cool game

Excellent game, BUT the start of it is really really slow. You will think that the game suck till you get your first ''talent'' and Power, luckily tho, you get them about 2h in. Persevere and trust me, the game is good.

A solid platformer. One or two rough edges (specially in the map), but it still is a great time
