Análisis Endling – Extinction is Eternal

Endling – Extinction is Eternal, is one of those games that catch your attention, I remember perfectly when I saw its first trailer in the typical conference and I did not hesitate for a second to note the date of its release in my diary. We are before the first game of Herobeat Studiosa developer founded in Europe and who after four years of work was able to obtain his first title, and what a title!

Mama fox and extinction

It all starts when a fire completely destroys our protagonist’s habitat, a vixen who will soon give birth to her puppies. That’s why he desperately searches for a place to keep them safe. We will have to feed and keep alive the four adorable puppies, but everything is cut short when one of them is kidnapped he therefore appears to be a poacher.

This is where everything will change. He will have to keep the rest alive and well fed, but without neglecting the little fox that has been captured. The latter will play a central role in the advancement of history. This will keep us hopeful and motivated to continue in the quest to find him and bring him back.

Endling and the Art of Extinction

In endling not a single word is crossed out, since his main narrative approach is based on his art. They took incredible care of the sets, the characters, the shadows and the general aesthetics of the game. We are faced with the presentation of a world totally devastated by man. Where we even see that they themselves pay the consequences of the appearances that the game suggests.

Herobeat Studios they present us with postapocalyptic landscape, perfectly reflecting the threat of adverse conditions and hostile weather conditions. We are facing an adventure 2D side scrolling, with effects that give more depth depending on the moment. It’s because he has a great perspective job, which is absolutely amazing. But not only that, much more has been achieved because, we are facing an open world game. All this, added to the evolution and progress of the world at home, means that the the graphics are flawless for the number of dream postcards he leaves us on the way.

What would the end of the world look like?

We cannot go through this analysis without making a mention on the soundtrack of endling. It’s a treat for the ears to play this game with headphones, thanks to a sensational immersion ability. Most of the time, its effects follow the leisurely rhythm of the adventure, also adapting to the sharp turns that we will face.

The game has an overall design that is measured to the smallest detail so that there is a perfect harmony between image and sound. Thanks to this sounding, it sometimes seems like we’re enjoying a movie instead of a video game.

survival in smell

We are in front of a Totally different and innovative survival. In the game, what we have to accomplish is our survival and that of our puppies. Try that they don’t starve, and that no predator gets fat. The main way to achieve this is to use our sense of smell and certain abilities that we will learn throughout the adventure.

The game divides the game into day and night. We only leave the refuge when it is dark, and we will have to be careful to return before daybreak. If we don’t, we’ll have to deal with humans who are mostly out for the day. Of course, the nights will not be without problems. The game will keep us in tension at any time.

The function of smell is the main mechanism, because not only will it help us survive, but it will be crucial for the development of the plot . The smell is divided into several colors, the green trail marks us or introduces us when we have a nearby dam and the fox can track it by its scent, whether it’s rats, pigeons, abandoned garbage bags, etc. This collection of prey is the basis of the game, because if the hunger bar reaches zero, we can lose our puppies, and we don’t want to, right?

On the other hand, the pink or purple path will be the one who will guide us clues that will make us progress through cartography, towards shadows or ethereal images through history.

Not everything will sniff

At the beginning of the adventure, the little foxes are just helpless puppies, and they are still small animals to be constantly aware of. A vision that the studio has been able to capture from the start.

As the game evolves and progresses, the cubs also grow, and that’s when they stop being a burden and start helping mama fox with the development of own skillshow are: jump, stick, climb, take off, dig and even disable traps. This is when they become a fundamental pillar in helping mama fox keep them alive and try to find the fourth little fox.
