![]() Seasonal manipulation is an exciting and novel mechanic that’s implemented impressively throughout the game.ĭuring her adventure, Ary will come face to face with whimsical beasts that wish to stop her in her tracks. This can open up new pathways, reveal secrets, and even freeze some enemies, turning them into ice blocks you can use to your advantage. Seasonal Spheres change the weather around Ary, creating a temporary seasonal dome that alters the immediate environment to its seasonal counterpart. Thankfully, Ary can manipulate the beautifully detailed environments with Seasonal Spheres in order to progress and uncover those secrets. The player is set loose in an open world brimming with side quests, dungeon-like Ruins, and lots of hidden secrets. It’s up to a girl named Ary to restore balance at the behest of a mysterious society, the Guardians of Seasons.Īry and the Secret of Seasons is an action adventure in the tradition of the Zelda franchise. The seasons are in disarray, meaning that fierce winter winds bellow in place of gentle summer breezes. ![]() You can’t spam these either, they use an energy resource that slowly replenishes over time. You also get access to an upgrade tree of sorts that lets you add abilities like deflecting bullets, increasing your dash or filling your energy meter faster.Something is amiss in the world of Valdi. ![]() I won’t spoil them all, but you get access to a shock-wave blast and even an arc-attack that can be efficient ways to take out multiple enemies or a last-second attack that can save your ass from death. As you get higher up in the tower, drones begin appearing that can rain attacks down from above, but you’re able to pounce upon them and ride them into a group of enemies below.įortunately, as the enemies get tougher as the game progresses, the Ghostrunner’s arsenal of weapons and skills grows too. Robotic Metal Gear inspired enemies begin appearing half-way through the game and become death machines you need to disperse of quickly or fear their room-scale attacks. A brute enemy will launch itself across the room to land on top of you, a katana-wielding enemy needs to be countered before you can kill it and shields are added to basic goons. You only have to deal with basic goons that fire bullets you can dodge with relative ease as the game begins, but as you progress further there are increasingly more difficult enemies and obstacles added as you progress further up the tower. ![]() So you must make your way up the tower, fighting enemies big and small as you attempt to reach your target. This whisper in your ear explains they’ll be able to help you on your journey and it is up to you to stop The Keymaster and save Dharma Tower and its people. As the game begins you’ve just awoken and a voice is in your ear telling you to run with enemies hot on your tail. The building is under the rule of a tyrant named The Keymaster and the tower’s people are in a divide of poverty and civil war. You land somewhere in the slums of Dharma Tower, the last remaining place of human activity following an apocalyptic event. You are a Ghostrunner a cyborg-ninja of sorts, recently repaired but suffering from amnesia. Ghostrunner is a hard-as-nails game, but it’s also ultra-satisfying to play in a way that most games only ever strive to achieve. Because Ghostrunner isn’t just a game about fast-paced wall-running, katana-wielding combat, it’s also a tricky platformer. The game’s one-hit kill system not only led me to die from gunfire, laser beams, samurai swords and other weapons, but I also died numerous times from falling. I died well over a thousand times before I finished Ghostrunner and I loved every second of it.
