Apocalyptic zelda?
So, I was pleasantly surprised when I found I had a real game on my hands that demanded my time and devotion to it.
First, I will get the obvious stuff out of the way. The game takes place when they apocalypse has been triggered early and you, WAR, one of the four horsemen, must find out why. If you are looking for an epic, sweeping story to rival that of Dragon Age or Mass Effect, you are going to be disappointed. The story is a little shallow and unrefined. But for the length of game and the fact that it is an action game, it has a good enough story. Also glaringly obvious in this game is the fact that it is derivative in gameplay elements from other titles, such as Zelda and God of War. There are a lot of puzzles and many timed button sequences.
Now the not so obvious stuff. This game makes all that obvious stuff I mentioned earlier... it's own. The puzzles are challenging and make use of all your tools. The combat is brutal, yet well done and fun. I've heard many people liken it to Zelda. Yeah, Zelda on PCP with a darker edge to it. And the art style is so badass it spawned its own darksiders comics! That's saying something when it's backed by a fledging dev company. Play this game for a little bit I can almost guarantee you you will be hooked.
