One of the most underappreciated games i know of
Yeah, you control your guy around exactly like you would the old prince of persia games, (and the main character is also a prince, hehe) and the stages are therefore built for this kind of controlling, but thats where the similarity's end.
This game is a action-puzzle platformer, and the story is set in a fictional other dimensional future, hehe, but its not a sci-fi game. The story starts with the evil orc-like king named sarlaac,who wants to take over the world, and seeks out to destroy the kingdom of androthi (or something) and the king who possesses the item to do so. So in all haste ``your`` father sees no other option than to send his only son into safety (the human world), so that he may someday return to fight the evil of sarlaac - and the game starts when this time has arrived, and ``you`` leave only packing your trusty 12gauge shot gun
I would suspect that some reading this, may find that the story is not an appealing one, but you would be a fool, if that were the reason for not trying the game out. The reason i wrote it, is that this is the first thing you encounter with the game and my message is, play the game anyway
I believe i have said enough about the game play, by referring to prince of persia, and that you blast down your foes rather than cutting them with a sword, and of course, you will have no timer ticking, so play the game at any pace you prefer
There are 4 different stages, with 4 different levels in them. The different levels have their own music and environments, that creates a special atmosphere in the game. The foes aren`t very diverse, but gun-fights are very cool. All the levels have their own little puzzle to be solved, and the story continues after each stage
To sum up, this is one of the most underappreciated games i can think of, it has everything, story, action, puzzle, great music, special atmosphere, you will not regret playing this game, prince of persia is nothing compared, highly recommended
