Galaxy Tales: Story of Rapunzel

모사이트 스팀키 이벤트도 받은 녀석으로 큰 기대는 안했었는데, 플레이해보니 퀄리티가 상당하네요. 적절한 더빙과 십고 단순한 조작법, 경쾌한 분위기가 마음에 듭니다. 아직 얼리액세스라서 제철소나 마지막 스테이지에서 일부 사운드가 엄청 크게 들리고 엔딩에서 소음이 반복되는 부분처럼 다듬어야할 부분도 있고, 추가 콘텐츠도 필요해보입니다. 장애물을 피해 길찾는 플랫폼 게임에서는 난이도가 쉬운 편이라고 할 수 있으며, 일부 보스나 스테이지는 첫 플레이 때 단서가 없어서 난이도가 수직 상승해 다소 들쭉날쭉한 느낌입니다. 아이들이 즐기기에는 좀 어려울 것 같긴합니다만, 캐릭터가 잘뽑혔기에 좋아할 듯. 플레이하는 동안 (화도 좀 났지만...) 재미있게 플레이한 게임입니다.

Have you ever encountered a game and felt quite surprised after knowing how under the radar it flew among gaming communities? That's me with this one. Indeed, Galaxy Tales: Story of Rapunzel is a cartoonishly looking action platformer with smooth gameplay revolving around side scrolling 2D platforming as well as dealing with enemies and bosses. As one might have guessed from the famous character's name, you can hair whip enemies as well as have plenty of movement options through double jumping, air dashing and more. While I personally recommend the controller for this setup, both options should work fine enough for the required challenges. Outside of the mechanics, what sets this game apart from others is certainly the presentation. Probably inspired by the bubbly style of series such as Steven Universe or Star vs the Forces of Evil, the game features lots of color and expressive sprites from our main character. In fact, Rapunzel's goofy and exciting attitude certainly fits the bill as well with some of her deliveries and actions. Oh and the music doesn't hold back either, featuring sax, keyboard and drums among other instruments in R&B and jazzy arrangements one wouldn't expect to listen to in this genre. Basically, with a campaign featuring 7 worlds, bosses that go up in difficult yet not a ludicrous way, side modes, optional collectibles hunting and a memorable look, this one's an easy recommendation from me. The 23 in the review counter should go up by this point.
