Balan Wonderworld is a rather odd game

Ойындар

So I gave the Balan Wonderworld demo a try. It's weird. A friend described it as "like it was made in Dreams for the PS4, and not in a good way." I have to agree.

    @@ToridoriGaming if you bothered to get the statues, you unlock the first act for stages 4 and 6, which are honestly major step ups from c o r n land. World 4 has a wind/air motif, and a heavy emphasis on verticality. The suits here are also cool, like the bat that lets you homing attack and the s h e e p b a l l. World 6 is a giant clocktower, and while some parts can drag on, it actually has some of the more interesting gameplay mechanics and level design. Costumes are a little more boring (gear-suit to move switches and rocket punch which is dainty-dragon but actually useful), but they unlock some neat little goodies in older stages.

    When I saw the trailer for this game, I thought "Wow, this new world looks amazing!" Just played the Switch demo of this game and, not factoring in the performance of the Switch itself, the gameplay didn't really impress me! It was a bit messy, all the face buttons just make you jump, I mean, really, just ONE move to perform, even with different costumes? Simplicity can be a good thing if it's done well, but you'd think for a dreamy world like this they'd do more with your character's moveset! Compared to the likes of Mario Odyssey and even A Hat in Time, what I played here felt a little disjointed! Kinda disappointing considering the creator of this was responsible for Sonic!

    I thought what we had was special, Victoria. But now I know how you really feel about me and my people... Really though, this seems like a massive disappointment. The game, not the video. That opening cinematic? Pretty well done, if a bit cliche. But the gameplay? The character runs too slow, but the run animation moves too fast. The multiple costumes (I think they proudly say over 80 in the final game?) are redundant if they can each only do one thing. They should've mushed some together to make changing costumes less tedious. I heard the theory as well that it was going to be a mobile game, and I could certainly see it. Simple controls, one button for everything (which is dumb when some costumes can't jump, as you pointed out), and okay-ish graphics. The costume swap in the top left even seems made for a tablet. Make them bigger and clickable, and that'd be how you swap I bet. I was excited for this game, but unless this is a very early build demo, I think I might skip it.

    I was looking forward to this game so much, and this demo was so disappointing. The characters are so cute and adorable though
