Flatworld Review (Chapter 1): Flat World Adventure

Flat Earth This is the latest video game Guinxuindependent video game developer and youtuber on the development of video games. It is also the first to be marketed as such. This game will be published in Steam and, in the future, on consoles by chapter, from April 28, 2022. It is an adventure game with RPG accents and dungeon crawlers, clearly inspired by classics of the genre such as The Legend of Zelda oh golden sun. We will explore a world full of magic, puzzles and enemies featuring the weakest character in the game. A flat world, everything is said.

Flatworld, a very lively flat world

The story of Flat Earth takes us by the hand of Aki, a human from our world who, without knowing how (at least beginning), came to this full of magic. As such, he’s the least gifted and strongest of them all, but he has a lot to offer. The evil Ghost Corporation is wreaking havoc on the world. But why ? Aki’s father’s business was just a telephone company. We will pass through different towns and try to solve the mysteries as our character and party grow. In good chapter 1, this one leaves hovering several mysteries, like the box, the magicians or the scarf.

And it is that one of the best things this world has is, precisely, the world itself,lga redundancy. Each location has a unique theme and character. And also a problem of its own, very close to ours. It’s a world that seems very much alive. Also, although the characters don’t have voice acting, they have their own tones and speeds when speaking, so they have voices without having any. Speaking of cities, you can move around them in a diorama reminiscent of the classics of Final Fantasy oh dragon questwhere they will be miniature models of the real ones.

Humor and references everywhere

One of the things that makes the world so alive is precisely the humor of the game. The characters and NPCs all have something to say and contribute, and in many cases it’s very funny. We must admit that we laughed several times with certain dialogues, especially from the inhabitants of the cities.

And it is that this humor is usually linked to references to our world. Flat Earth It is full of references. During our journey we will find references to the Guinxu like its environment. past projects, Alva Majo and their games and, above all, a lot of pop culture and the anime. We would particularly like to underline that of a dog and a girl. Dog we can pet, by the way.

4 characters, a common adventure

As we commented, Flat Earth it features Aki, the flat world’s weakest human. But it won’t be just for him. At the rate of one per city, our group will grow with new characters who will have their own fighting styles and magic. The first one we will meet will be Yami, the original inhabitant of this world, focused on melee and magic related to electricity. The Aki are fiery and they will give a lot of play together.

In the second case, we will find Hikari, who we may have already known, with a rod capable of creating whirlwinds. Finally, the last member will be Mark, able to create explosions with his sheets of paper, and the one with the past the most curious of the four. In the next chapters, in principle, they should acquire more skills.

To finish with the characters, suffice it to say that this is not all that we will see. We will acquire new abilities in the form of medals, such as the one that modifies the sound Aki makes when he uses his magic. But that’s not all, well we can also customize our characters, in some cases granting new abilities. A jacket that falls more slowly or a cowboy hat are just a few examples.

The amazing anime style art section

If there’s anything that stands out Flat Earth It is, without a doubt, in its artistic section. The game’s graphics are anime-style 3D models, while the HUD and menus will be 2D. It’s like mixing anime con golden sun. Besides, A very characteristic detail is that, when an own sound is generated, Japanese characters appear on the screen which form the onomatopoeia. Quite in the style of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

However, what is most striking is that the game has Opening. With a song sung in Japanese and a stylish animation video animeIt’s one of the best details in the game. As for the rest of the sound section, the truth is that it more than meets the bill, with small details like the sound of water or the crowd can guide us. However, if there is a but to add to the game, it is in this section, with the sound of footsteps on certain materials. But it’s a trivial detail in a game, for the rest, remarkable.

Anyway, Flatworld (Chapter 1)…

A definitionitiva, Flat Earthat least in this first chapter, is a game more than recommended. All the more so if we take into account that it is a India and the price for which he left. Charismatic characters, a lively world, a great sense of humor, many references and a plot that, without being the greatest revolution of RPGs, hooks you. Of course, the artistic style of the type anime It’s the finishing touch to a game that, game-wise, does more than meet.

This Chapter 1 lasted about four hours for us, and it left us wanting more. of the best outings indies so far this year, and mostly developed in Europe. Finally, and as always, if you want to know more about the games or the news of this world, don’t forget to drop by your place, here in the Xbox zone.
