clumsy herodevelopped by Chaosmonger Studios, is available to play now on our consoles Xbox there computer. This title is built on the basis of gender metroidvania In 2d take possession of a somewhat special “hero”.
On this occasion, the version of XboxOne (because at the moment there is no version for Xbox series X/S) in Xbox series X.
And the house without sweeping!
There Middle Ages (both the High as the Low), is undoubtedly a very desirable historical period to promote the foundations of a video game. Whether through fiction or empirically, we can tell many stories and we will surely never be bored. On this occasion, we are of course talking about fiction with medieval contextand also a fiction satirical. Our protagonist, Rufus; To the classic mission to save his wife of a being calledThe evil”.
The story is told to us through cartoons by the different inhabitants of this world that we will meet throughout the adventure, whether in houses, churches, inns, etc. Accompanied by a little particular humorsince we will identify relatively current behaviors during our interactions with certain characters or inhabitants of the regions. The main mission could not be clearer, it is none other than to free our womanto this task too secondaries are added
It’s a simple story, but functional since it aims to amuse you more than to make you think. Perhaps a little more ambition would have been helpful, given that the story goes to a tertiary level despite occasional funny moments.
Clunky Hero fulfills its main mission, to entertain
As we mentioned, it is a metroidvania of “increasing” difficulty and with a touch of platforming that suits you really well. this adventure 2dwill take us through a map that includes different sections. We will acquire skills that will help us overcome the different levels (like double jump, shooting, etc.), as well as defeat the enemies that we will find. Our initial weapon will be a broomBut don’t worry, things are looking up.
The enemies that we will meet in this kingdom they will have similar combat patterns, and for this reason we will soon have enough technique to overcome them without an excessive level of demand. Go from classic trolls to a kind of “goblins”, like flying beasts that spit poison. The fights with the final bosses they are intense, but soon we will learn their fighting patterns.
It doesn’t seem too difficult, if it weren’t for We save the game at specific points in the game
Fight, explore and jump
We will fight with a large number of weapons that we will find Also, we will use power up potions it will help us for a while. To heal, vitality potions will be essential because some enemies take a large amount of life. We can improve our attributes as we gain combat experience.
In this world that we will travel without precise direction, We will explore areas where we will find rewards such as treasures, upgrades, weapons…Although the plot doesn’t help us too much, since the character’s motivation is to get from place to place just because it has to be done.
The platforming phases are quite well done, are entertaining and once we unlock a skill like double jump we can do “experiments” interspersed with fights. Although we also do not find a level that leaves us speechless, it simply complies.
What does this medieval setting look like?
clumsy hero it looks good but no fanfare. It is true that there are levels that we appreciate more “beautiful” either because of the lighting effects that we intend to achieve. But we will have a constant feeling of repetitionand it’s that I haven’t really found a storyline that I haven’t seen in another game. It also doesn’t seem like they’ve gone out of their way to make us feel like we’re discovering a new world.
Regarding the frames, the game seems stable and I haven’t seen too many crashes or glitches
The sound aspect of Clunky Hero is not something to enthuse
The voices are localized in English, although we will spend most of the time reading (english) since that’s how we’re going to interact with the characters. These will be “mute”, in a way since they emit strange sounds. the soundtrack is decentmedieval theme how could it be otherwise.
conclusion
clumsy hero It’s an interesting game Approve in many ways. But he doesn’t excel in any section, I wouldn’t even say it reaches the remarkable peak of any of them. It’s a game I recommend at a discount if you’re a fan of the genre and are drawn to the medieval setting. Also, it’s funny (depending on who) it can be another incentive to play it. Anyway, the main purpose of entertainment is fulfilledeven though we are seeing a great rush of games in the genre, where the plot section lacks value, and that’s a shame.
This game is already available and you can enjoy it in XboxOne, Xbox series X/S there computer. Visit our website to keep up to date with the latest news, analysis, articles… click here to find out more.
