Trial Impressions – 11 August 2009
Comments (3) Four new games were released over the last 24 hours though I can only review three as one of them is only available in Japan.
Note: These impressions are based off 8 minutes of gameplay and are not an accurate assessment of the full product.
BitStream – 400 points – Racing & Flying – Download
Great Dotstream-like game with music that reacts to your movements. I just hope the 400 msp price point doesn’t put people off.
MADRISM – 80 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download
I had no idea what I was doing when playing this game. From what I can tell it is some kind of house blueprint puzzle game? You probably need to be Japanese to understand it.
X OVER（クロス・オーバー） – 240 points – Shooter – Download
Pretty polished Japanese R-Type-like horizontal shooter. It’s in Japanese but nobody plays shooters for the story.
フェナックむら ものがたり – 240 points – Action & Adventure – Download
Japanese Zelda clone. Seems pretty fun to play though I got stuck because all the text is in Japanese. This needs an English translation.
