SHADOW OF THE BEAST - Uma reinterpretação mediana do clássico da Psygnosis, mais focado em combate, com pontuação, combos multiplicadores, bônus e etc.

O sistema de combate é interessante e visceral, quase como um jogo de ritmo, mas que cansa antes da duração total do jogo.

Esse jogo não é tão ruim pra eu dar essa nota, mas a experiência foi tão ruim, jogo esse jogo me deixava mal, foi a pior experiência que já tiver com um jogo, nunca nada tinha me deixado assim antes

I was intrigued enough to give this a spin based on its Amiga inspiration, but soon deleted it. I think the designers had ideas about updating this into more of an action game, but they don't work in a fun way. Mashing a QTE every time I wanted to heal one point of health is not great and there isn't enough variety in moves or animation to make the encounters interesting. Neither is the level design, which feels like a string of ideas put together without consideration for the floaty movement. After I accidentally executed a leaping attack and fell to my death, only to see that there are no checkpoints and that, as such, I would have to replay the whole level, I decided not to give this one any more of my time.

I enjoyed playing through the game for the most part. However, it does have some sloppy game controls and poorly designed levels which can make it a drag to play sometimes. Yes it's very short, but the game is designed to be played over several times. Decent graphics and music. I have no idea what the story is about because you need to play through it several times to unlock everything and I'm not going to do that.

I don't remember much of the game of a story standpoint. but the gameplay was ok to say the least.
