We should not be surprised again when the portable port of change turns into respect. There are too many examples to list here, but only recently Get Out of Prison and Oddmar they have freed themselves famous.
Still, we're surprised to see that the Metropolitanans recently started life on the iPhone. Maybe it makes more sense when you think about that Shinekwai: Getting Into That Go we are from Concom Powerhouse, but still. These are the strange times we live in.
Not as bizarre as the one seen by our dumb mariner. Their world is completely engrossed in the familiar (bicycles, traffic lights, road signs) that surround the alien (mysterious artefacts, improved technology). As well as the game's focus on showcase storytelling and the UI full of arcane symbols (at one point in game damage), it all comes together to create one of the most unique games in the world in Switch – though one that carries a clear following of stadium greats.
Shinekwai: In the Deplies is a semi-transparent Metroidaniya, but it kindly reminded us more about Metrop Prime than any 2D Samus Aran & # 39; s advent. Maybe the speed of pursuit and exploration, or the heroic movement of the hero. It could be to focus on extracting and documenting information from your environment or the coding style of the atmosphere of the earth.
In other words, Sonic The Hedgehog & # 39; s Labyrinth Zone on how to seek air bubbles to maximize your disappointing air supply. In the meantime, the general need to build precious gems – which pay for the development of your equipment so that you can dig deeper – reminded us Steamworld Dig.
The key to the unique character of the game is the way it handles movement. Your character collapses wearing their heavy, heavy-duty suit on the rocky floor though too much they tend to slip and fall. Holding a jump or aiming high will turn some of the air supply into increased power, actually giving you the power of a tongue-controlled flight. It is energizing and dangerous at the same time, because heavy skiing or collision will break down and eventually destroy one of your vital air tanks.
Fortunately, these tanks can be rebuilt by replacing them in multiple gaming environments. Next to the gem coins used above, you'll encounter end points, new machines (it's Metroidsian, after all) and materials to recycle and reboot your gear. There is every incentive to go out and explore your waterfront. Simply forcing a fog of war and mapping it to this scenic location is an inspiration in itself.
It's good to call this hostile place where you find yourself your greatest enemy. At a certain point in the game, you will be given an umbrella cord that provides unlimited air and durability, and you will find yourself stretching to the point of the game's winding cave systems, reluctant to break through and look at that weakness. the finished bar.
Aside from these concerns for air supply, there are plenty of underwater lifetimes to contend with, from jellyfish sparky to ground-sharks. Your most important (yet reliable) way is to use it with your pickaxe, but there is also a powerful spear gun, harp launcher, and gizmo-like gizmo. It will also collect other exotic equipment – such as a robotic drone assistant that will retrieve remote equipment – and a submarine such as Nautilus with the ability to destroy the wall.
Shinekwai: Getting into the depths is fun to play, but it's not perfect. We noticed a few performance issues when the screen was running. While battling with a single boss, we almost assume that the game was in a constant state of fluctuation, so is the frame rate. Also, that auxiliary drone used is a little bit brighter, cluttered and dragging stuff even if you don't have the power to download it.
In the end, the UI can be very busy and difficult to understand. We find that the developer is shooting a new, international feeling here, but sometimes it comes at the expense of being legal. And while the game's word-for-word approach is not a pure concept, it does make a lot of critical and background issues difficult to follow. This system is hacked and seems to fail when you meet one of the meaning of the trivial texts. It's almost as if these were added too late to produce after online focused tests that players were confused.
But all of this is a small deduction, and technical issues in particular should hopefully be addressed in future updates. All in all, Shinekwai: Depasem is one of the hottest and most exciting stage shows we've seen on Change in a while.
Conclusion
Shinekwai: The Deputy item is a new Metropolitan with a memorable underground structure and compelling mechanics of movement. If you're following a platform that appreciates exploration and adventure through arcade action – and you're not afraid to try something different with the format – then we wholeheartedly recommend dipping your toes in the mysterious waters of Shinekwai.
