Heads up for any future readers, if you like Hollow Knight you might be interested in this!
First things first, when I review itch.io games I like to give some context as to where it comes from and also try and provide a link, so here we go.
Ichorous was created for a game jam centered around boss rushes with a deadline of one month, was released earlier this month, and can be played here for free, albeit only on Windows devices. It also lasts less than forty minutes, so if you have nothing else to do tonight, this might be it!
It´s great at what it sets out to do! The vibes and overall atmosphere are amazing and make me long for more, and the few bosses it has are well coreographed and have interesting designs. The combat system is very similar to hollow knight, which is perfect for a game this short as it lets you get right into action without too much trouble if you are already familiar with the mechanics. The healing mechanic is also a new take on the system, which is very much appreciated.
Apparently, they will also be adding an extra boss in the foreseeable future, so that's more content coming soon!
(I will say tho, as of February 2024, there's a chance for some crashes happening (which I didn't encounter, but are being reported as of now), however don't let that deter you from playing it!)
Overall, if you have read this far into the review I think you will enjoy this one, so please do take a look into it. I think it deserves some recognition, if even just because it's a cool little game ^^
Give them some love!
