Gryphon Knight Epic

I'm giving Gryphon Knight Epic a recommendation because I like scrolling shooters, the pixel art is quite good (with some nice backgrounds and good sprite work), and I enjoyed the Mega Man-esque unlocking of a new weapon with each boss defeated. I also appreciated every level containing a cleverly-hidden rune that unlocks an ability or gives you a permanent stat boost. While it doesn't re-invent the wheel, GKE does enough things right to be a fun playthrough for those looking for an arcade-style experience. Having said that, there are two issues in particular which [i]really[/i] bugged me, so heed this warning: 1) The automatic scrolling occasionally stops to allow you to choose what direction to move in. This allows for branching paths or the ability to backtrack, which is fine. The problem is that in vertically-scrolling areas, it is FAR too easy to accidentally start scrolling back down where you came from when you wanted to keep going up. There is no buffer between when the scrolling stops and when you get to choose your direction, so if you're close to the bottom of the screen and moving down (say, to pick up a coin) at the moment scrolling stops then you're instantly going to change direction and slowly scroll back down to the last point where you can change direction. This is infuriating and it happens [i]all the time[/i]. 2) I mentioned the runes which I think are a great idea. One of the runes, however, grants you the ability to dash. While a sudden burst of speed can, in fact, be very useful for getting out of harm's way or positioning yourself for an attack, the problem is the dash is activated by double-tapping in the direction you want to dash. Since the nature of navigating between enemy bullets involves lots of short-stopping and quick changes of direction, I ended up often dashing by accident, often directly leading to me taking damage. Since the B button and the L and R triggers do essentially the same thing, I would have liked to be able to assign the dash ability to one of these buttons to prevent activating it accidentally. So while those two issues did interfere with my ability to enjoy GKE, overall I still had a good time and considered the game worth playing.

고전 느낌으로 잘 만든 슈팅게임입니다. 게임을 하다보면 여러 게임들을 잘 오마주해서 만든 느낌이고 스토리도 왕도적으로 만들어서 보장된 재미가 있습니다. 몹 배치가 까다로운 편이고 캐릭터 공격방향을 정하는 것이 제일 어려웠습니다.. 슈팅류를 잘하시는 분들께 추천드립니다. 숨겨진 요소도 있고 도전과제 깨는 거 좋아하시는 분들이라면 더 재미있게 하실 수 있을 것 같아요.

- Короткая + Много 7/10 Добротно сделанный скролинг шутер в фентезийном сетинге, жаль что играть можно только за одного перса, но у вас есть куча способностей, предметы, прокачка и секреты на уровнях. Поэтому скучать не придется )

Was das Gameplay angeht schaut euch die anderen Reviews an. Eigentlich ganz okay aber die Steuerung will nicht immer so recht. Die deutsche Übersetzung ist schrecklich und es ist bereits die überarbeitete Version.

It was ok...

Cute game, but awful tech condition. I had black screen in shop, after beating a game, so I cant get 100%. I had problem with gamepad. so I had to remove my save with half walkthrough. I had bug with achievement about size reduction potion. But cute...

이 작품의 특장점이 뭐였냐고 하면 그건 대기 힘들지만 처음부터 끝까지 무난하게 재밌었음. 좋은 의미로 교과서 같았다는 느낌. 슈팅 게임이지만 게임성은 슈팅 게임이라기보다는 록맨 같은 플랫폼 게임에 더 가까웠던 것 같기도.
