ShutterOne of those projects are cooked on low heat. By the hand of the independent study KinifigamesA game arrives in our consoles that will captivate you from the start. And it's that, This 2D action rogelite will not leave you indifferent thanks to its spectacular artistic section which sometimes resembles an animated film. Before going into details, we must say that from here, we have always been very attentive to the development of this adventure. Already in the Gamescom of 2023, we could try with its creators a small demo of what was going to happen. Some time later, we were able to develop our experience with its PC version and now, finally, it reaches our consoles.
In this case, we find a fairly polite version that allows us to enjoy many hours of pleasure. As soon as you enter the game, we will have a brief introduction that will put us in the context of what is happening in this universe. Here, the world is devastated by an unknown disaster, humanity clings to its last hope: The Bellfry Towera bastion that rises on the ruins of the old City of figures.
A unique world
Beyond its walls, Wild lands They are plagued by monstrous creatures and incessant dangers. In this demolitic post-accentorio, players assume the role of ASReborn Warriors of the mysterious spiritual kingdom known as the name The reflux. These heroes remember not only their past deaths, but also They return with exceptional skills and the mission of protecting survivors and claiming the lost world
Thus, our departure will begin, with the clear objective to become a hero who has recovered the territory of humanity. To do this, we will have to enter alone or with Up to 3 friends in this inhospitable world. The game presents good characters that will allow us to give free reins to our imagination. Once selected and after overcoming a brief tutorial, we will access the magic of Townbone.
The game offers us the possibility of choosing between four classes, each counting not only with a differentiated combat style, but each will have their own skill tree. Nevertheless, The fight is quite simple although it has an interesting degree of depth. We have classic light and heavy blows that can be combined to generate new attacks or combos, in addition to adding to all of this the use of skills. In itself, it is an accessible game but in which it can be deepened.
Each incursion in wild lands is different, thanks to a roguelite structure which generates procedural levels, ensuring that each game is unique. Expeditions are made via a Mapamundi, where we will have to move any realization missions to access new boxes and thus advance in their world.
Improve our hero
One of the great successes of Shutter It is your progression system. It is not only limited to the development of the character by experience points or unlocking skills, but highly emphasizes equipment. Each weapon, armor or accessory has its own level, and the improvement of our performance also involves these elements. This additional personalization layer offers greater depth to the game, forcing us to make tactical decisions about what to improve and when to do it.
In addition, the game introduces a curious system of challenges in the tower which makes it possible to gradually increase the difficulty. Overcoming these challenges gives us access to more precious awards, so that we can always face new enemies. Although it must be said that Many enemies are repeated by varying only their colorBeing a classic mechanism of other kinds of the Beat Em Up genre. However, their bosses have very interesting conceptions and can be a very funny challenge in high difficulties.
The turn is moving art
However, everything does not shine with the same intensity. Despite the varied of their fights and their scenarios, Shutter Slide a certain repetitiveness in your missions. Although it is understood that in this type of titles, the variety of missions does not have to be spectacular, I think There are missions that remain simply. Missions in which we must defend a wagon for example and last a few minutes and that they contribute anything. This simplicity can affect the rhythm of the game, especially after several hours, which gives the impression that the narrative or structural content remains behind the spectacular visual packaging.
And, if something stands out above all ShutterIt is your artistic direction. With a visual style reminiscent of the best 2D animated productions, The game shines thanks to its detailed scenarios, its fluid animations and its design of creatures. Music and sound effects accompany solvency, achieving an absorbing atmosphere that strengthens immersion in this broken and mysterious world.
In short, Shutter It is a very interesting game which has a wide margin of improvement. With some adjustments to your mission system and a greater variety of meetings can become a notable title. Today, it's always pleasant, but some things like those mentioned above are missing. From there, we will be very attentive to any novelty on this launch.
