It’s not often that platformers tell good stories. That’s why I wanted to like Iconoclasts, the new Metroidvania platformer by Joakin Sandberg. However, it unfortunately fell short.
Great story telling, puzzles that make you think, solid platforming and strategic combat is just the tip of the iceberg for what comprises Anima: Gate of Memories. At its core it is a third person RPG, but there are so many more facets to the game that mesh together to create an enjoyable, rewarding experience.
This past Thursday was our first instalment of Indie Spotlight Thursdays and I got the chance to play the adorably difficult adventure platformer, Holobunnies.
We talked with Creative Director, Patrick Plourde, the driving force behind Child of Light, and with Coeur de Pirate, the musician behind the game's enthralling melodies.
