Erra: Exordium | An interesting combination of mythology and dieselpunk setting (PC) @ 2K 60 fps
0Erra: Exordium is an awesome 2D action adventure game in development. I love the gun mechanics, they are an absolute joy to use. The aiming is simple, intuitive and the reload mechanic works well. It also makes you conserve and not just spray and pray. I really hope there will be more guns accessible in the full release, as the current two are really excellent. The enemy design is also great, and I really enjoyed learning how to take on each enemy differently. Once you get used to their attack and movement patterns, there easier defeat, but never too easy. The enemies also all seemed appropriately unique, and I never got tired of fighting any single enemy. The block action works well on certain enemies, but on some attacks it isn't effective at all. This is fine, but it might be nice to know which attacks can be blocked and which cannot. The area layout is pretty intuitive, and I never really got lost or didn't know what to do next. The puzzles are adequately difficult, requiring you to think, but not taking too much time. I like the combination lock puzzles, and the hints for those are well written. I found jumping and climbing to be a bit clunky, but still very functional. In some places I never quite know where to jump from to land safely. There are quite a few text walls, lore dumps, and things of the sort, especially early on. I don't mind reading through these, but it can get a bit tiring. I like the flashbacks, they do a good job of filling in bits to the story. Maybe they could be implemented a bit more, instead of just text. Also the pixel art is very well done. I have no complaints whatsoever about it, and I think the game looks amazing. Overall, it's a good game with lots of potential to be great . I'm looking forward to the full version, as well as the development updates coming soon. Hope you enjoy my video.
