Eliosi's Hunt

Not a good game.

No me gustó, es muy ortopédico y no sigue las bases de lo q debería ser un juegode este estilo. El entorno muchas veces te tapa la visual, moris muy rápido, no podés hacer doble salto..., funciona bien en steam deck. no le tuve paciencia...

This is an indie action shooter with platforming elements that's meant to mirror a PS1-type game. It succeeds at mimicking the janky PS1 platforming elements of games like Crash Bandicoot and Pandemonium, and it largely works as a shooter. This is the sort of game where you might fail at an obstacle several times before figuring out what to do and then clearing it with ease after. The actual gun combat is nothing special but it's definitely fun to blast enemies and see them fly all over the place with ragdoll physics. There are only five levels, but there are fifty achievements and collecting them all will require at least four playthroughs. I did all of them in about 15 hours, but I would've gotten it done faster if not for the 4th level speedrun challenge which is one of the most insanely difficult things I've seen in a game. I like that the game gives the option between choosing to activate a checkpoint or increase your health. There are many secrets and upgrades, and you have to go through levels multiple times to collect them all as you need greater jumping distance or something else unlocked. Truth be told, I didn't care for this at first but playing it more gave me a better understanding of it. Some elements are very polished and others feel unfinished. There's no dialogue in the cutscenes which the game treats as a stylistic choice but it feels more like they were doing a tech demo and just gave up before putting the dialogue in. But then all the extra secrets and achievements are very well developed, and that's where the game truly shines (Even though unlocking a few of them is a tad busted). I honestly enjoyed this game and would probably give it a 7/10, but if you're not looking for a deliberately broken PS1 type shooter that punishes you for no reason, it's probably not the game for you. If you're used to PS1-style games like this, you will adapt quickly.
