Xanthiom Zero

massa

很有意思，非常原教旨密特罗德like，也继承了四处敲隐藏砖的吐血玩法，不过前20分钟就很慷慨的给了扫描隐藏砖的能力，后续还补上了item on map方便收集，现代化方面做的很用心了。 枪械改造出乎预料的有深度，实验各种形态就花了不少时间，搭配出变态组合之后极大降低战斗难度。 能力设置方面中规中矩，不过dash和攀爬结合之后的抛甩动作非常有意思，timeattack用起来应该很有观赏性。最后一个能力的时候完全服务于收集4把钥匙通关，其实非常有深度可以挖，有点可惜。 三个多小时就全收集通关了，体量不大，但是今年少有的让人完全沉浸其中一口气打完的好游戏。

Solid 3+ hour metroidvania experience.

Pros + The customizable main weapon is a real standout feature that makes this game feel unique. + Puzzles in this game strongly encourage you to understand how all your gun modifications work. + Although some of its movement abilities are staples, some like the Soul Rush are a lot of fun. Cons - Not much of a story here. - Score at the end left a bad taste in my mouth. With a good completion percentage and time and zero deaths until the final boss, I thought I did decently. Unfortunately the final boss killed me several times which dropped my score to F. - Brief. 98% completion took me 3:10 (in-game clock time) and I wasn't rushing.

Bit on the short side, but a fun game that uses its time very well.

I haven't written a proper Steam review in ages, but I was looking into Xanthiom 2 when I remembered to check my minireview in the GameHounds Discord server. "I think my favorite part may have been the puzzles that required a specific permutation of weapon mods enabled. Without them, I probably would have never changed my current loadout. On the downside, I think I got lost more than average. The map gives you a set of markers to place and I was late to bother. I like that process to be automatic. Overall, I enjoyed the game enough to wishlist the old-school Zelda-like Side Scape (which Xanthiom Zero is a prequel of) and I'm hoping the announced Xanthiom 2's development goes well." Xanthiom Zero has now convinced me to wishlist TWO others by the same developer so even if my review is lacking, I don't think the game is. =)
