Well hello there, glad you are reading this. Well this game will be reviewed because it’s pretty fine and it was requested on my review station (and I remember promising that when I have time I’ll review this :P)


REVIEW


I really liked this game , not really the best but it is good because it is well-balanced in all aspects of a game. Fun and delight will be experienced on this game , as every corner there is action (not every but mostly :D).Bottomless action from the fun battles with the mongoloids with those fast jumping and avoiding things. Haste is also included in this game , run before it’s gone I’ll say (refers to switch). There are some dull points , but you’ll just see a few. A tomb of solace where you’ll be comforted from your sorrow it is , because it comprises great action and excitement.


This game featured some tpuzzles. Most has been never seen before , but there are only few. Most puzzles are most likely going to get passed through accidents. What really made me is the traps , the traps are most likely the greatest aspect of the game. One wrong move then boom you lost the game. That’s probably it , the traps are topnotchers. Most are unexpected so expect it. I really like the mechanism of traps here esp. the use of cl0sers (on the level 2) and yeah I also liked the orange switch trapzle (a puzzle and trap xD).


I loved how the things were placed but what I hate is those poorly placed enemies , could have been better though. The spammed Mongols and the turrets are a downer. This could have been better though. Two Mongols in one placed and a number of turrets in the two sides of the ladder. The power-ups are well placed , and none are missing but the enemy made this wrong.


The scenery was rather interesting than great, because it resembles an ideal mausoleum. Err , yeah the pretty background and the nice tiles used. Bazum , although it really looked historical the turrets ruined it XD. The statues and other background objects are nicely placed; it’s pretty cool and suits the whole idea of a tomb. The statues look like the guardian of the tomb. Bitterly, there could be more additions in my opinion, I think it lacks something in the scenry part..


So this portion will be the other little aspects. Lag? No , there wasn’t which makes the player play the game more better. It is probably because each level is pretty small (2-3 mins to explore). Difficulty? You’ll come in points that you may die so yeah it’s a bit difficult , I only got to the 2nd level and got unlucky on the luck part.


CONCLUSION


All I can say is this game is a truly must-play and probably worthy of a feature because the game shows enduring creativity until the end , with the downsides the pro’s is still on hold. I really loved this game and I hope you keep it up Jcaldwell!
