Trying The Sydney Hunter Collection (Part 1) [Evercade #161]
0Watch me Live!: https://www.twitch.tv/Joshua8600
Another indie game collection here on Evercade, and one I was...mildly excited for. The small game number had me dubious, to be honest, and it's kind fo warranted?
The INT Shrines of Peril game is a decent little score-chaser game when bored, I'll give it that. There's not a lot of meat to it, though. On a 4 game collection, it seems too light though. It's not a bad game, but it feels more like a 'bonus' game than anything, if that makes sense.
It would make for a great Cadey's Challenge, though!
Sacred Tribe I have some issues with. I like the idea of an open-mapped game where you just explore ande collect things. That's great! But the jumping is the main issue, as I talk about at the end of the video. It's just too finnicky to be reliable, and when you're doing a whole bunch of jumping in the game, you want it to be reliable!
Also, the music and sound effects are pretty quiet compared to the rest of the Evercade system, creating a sound imbalance. The music itself is also pretty meh to me.
So far, not my favorite collection. But there are still 2 more games left and maybe those could be the ones to shine through?
