DreamBreak (2016) (version 1.0) | Longplay
9A Smartphone like adventure , mimicking Flashback ... for that price this 1h long game is kinda OK ... the main gripe that people now have, is the control system ... from the start, you can see its a game build as a Smartphone game with its touch interface (from gui to menu)... with Mini games (Pipedream anyone)
This is the mini review ... here is a more detailed explanation :
When the action starts the game is clunky... when use pad or keyboard to control , your main hero just freaks out, when you move too fast (animation is not fluid and responsive enough)... but when you use the touch interface aka mouse ... its control flaws are not noticeable ... but still the control system is broken ...
Combat system is well ... broken ... So broken ,you can hold the back and the action button ... to fire and rise the shield at the same time ... making you invincible ... it kinda takes away the purpose of those short mini combat games ... making combat pointless
Puzzles are well ... masked mini games ... that feel like padding
Music ... fits the story and action
Story ... is well ... an incoherent mess ... Resistance vs Machine Ai ... a story not flesh enough to make you care ... that is kinda forgotten after 15 min in ... you still wonder "whats this game about ?" running tough those corridors ...
and yet its a passable short pixel game ... that brings you back to the age when games like this would be GOTY... to bad its mediocre
