Spark Hunt - Marcus' Playthrough (PC Demo)
1SparkHunt - Marcus' Playthrough
SparkHunt is a classic 2.5D beat'em up developed by an indie developer Oleksandr Zapisochnyi, a demo is now available at STEAM store.
My first impression to the demo is that the game has the Street of Rage vibe, the normal combos attack; a special moves attack with variations along with which directional key is pressed; juggling and wall/floor bouching mechanics; grab and throw; double-tap dash to dodge; and Super Moves. The combat system overall is quite satisfying, I do hope the speed can be a sligtly faster... a little bit.
I like the feature of grabbing then smash the enemy to a background object, I hopefully the dev will add more variations of this in the final built. More interactions with the environment.
The audio presentation of this demo built is not polished, there is plenty of audio level inconsistence, but I believe when it is in a polished state, I do hope to have a powerful and memoriable background musics, and good sound effects with lot of OOMPH! I'm looking forward to this very much.
Plot description:
The events take place in the fictional place called Limbo. This is a parallel world, where the restless souls come before they can finally rest in peace. However the ones unwilling to rest who stay in Limbo longer than supposed change with the time, their nature leaves an imprint on their appearance. The longer you stay in Limbo, the less human you get.
The newcomers are vulnerable, confused and defenseless before the old residents; their connection with the real world is not broken completely yet, and the fresh emotions attract the hungry residents. That is why newly arrived people are called Sparks.
This is how the profession of Sparkhunter appeared in Limbo; for an appropriate fee these daredevils are ready to go to the darkest places to meet and deliver the Spark to the customer, whole and intact.
You play as either Marcus or Rose, a hunter who has received another order, so let the Sparkhunt begin.
