In the App Store there are more than a million applications and hundreds of thousands of games, but find some quality sometimes it becomes complicated even if we go to the top of sales. In this case we are facing a game that is at the top on its own merits, and it has conquered the hearts of users and critics thanks to multiple positive factors that we will analyze below.
Retro
The first thing that jumps out when we get down to work with Goblin sword It is the retro aesthetic that it has, which evokes us to bygone times more typical of the Sega - Nintendo war than today. Of course, the game is developed in our time, it is not an adaptation or anything similar, which means that it is perfectly optimized to work on Apple devices and is not a simple port.
If you have to highlight something of the artistic part without a doubt it is the very successful color palette, chosen with great pleasure and care to take us directly to the 90s on the screen of our iPhone. The key is not to choose green, purple or brown, but the exact tones that were used in those games that stole so many hours from those born in the 70s and 80s.
Playing
Goblin Sword is a platform with traditional elements (double jump, horizontal scrolling, etc.) to which some small role-playing game (RPG) touches are added, such as the possibility of using up to twenty four guns with different properties. We must also look for treasures and relics on the map, in which there are secret parts that we will only discover if we are cautious and pay maximum attention.
On the other hand, it should be noted that the controls can be customized to suit our tastes, another detail that makes playing comfortable, although as we have always stated here, a touch screen is difficult to provide us with. the same feedback than physical buttons.
Finally, it's time to indicate that the game costs a few more than reasonable 1,99 euros, a price that borders on the bargain seeing what equivalent games usually cost in quality and work that we have taken a look at here today. So if it depends on us, highly recommended as long as you like this type of game, of course, since we are not facing the typical five-minute kill-kill but something more leisurely and elaborate.
Our assessment
Game developers, that's the way to go, put a fair single price for the full juice, whether it's short or not, I don't wear that anymore.
The game is very good, I agree. Well I would give it 5 stars without hesitation. The price is VERY cheap. VERY VERY cheap. Sword of Xolan is another game in the same vein and also very good. And at 0.99 eur, which already touches the pure and simple altruimos by the author, these prices do not seem fair to me.
