1/9/2024 0 Comments A r y the game![]() Even after the patch, I mentioned earlier, I still came across plenty of culling and performance issues. They definitely should have taken the time to polish this game more before releasing it at all. I can see players putting more time in this game than just doing the main questline. While defeating enemies doesn’t provide any reward on its own, there are plenty of enemies around for the player to face off against if they want to. ![]() There are tons of side quests and collectibles all over the world of Valdi, so there is plenty of reason to go back through it. However, I did come across a glitch near the end of the game where the music just stopped altogether and ended up with no music during the games final moments. I enjoyed the music used and found it to drive that adventurous feeling that these games are trying to provide. SoundsĪgain, given that this game has an overall style that is for kids, the sound effects and music used was very fitting to the game. Don’t be surprised to see the wrong season randomly glitch on the screen or for there to be lag in the cutscenes themselves. They did send out a patch for the games culling and processing issues, but even after the patch I still came across some problems. Given that the story and gameplay style is fitting for kids, the cartoon style used for the artwork is very fitting to the game. But mainly, this is where you will end up using your slingshot the most as you will eventually gain the ability to shoot a season dome spawn with the slingshot, which became handy really quickly. These sections will test your platforming and overcoming skill, so be ready to think outside the box. You will also come across crystals that remove the orb power and cancel your season orb. Utilizing these seasons in the puzzles was an awesome choice and easily my favorite aspect of this game’s whole set up. Then you have the winter season to work with which will freeze the top of the water, even if that water only exists within the season orb. This can be used to move around more easily throughout areas for both yourself and certain objects. Some seasons provide no water where there is plenty while others do provide water where there is none. When it comes to the puzzles themselves, they are definitely pretty interesting. The most helpful one you will use is the small one because these monoliths can be moved and are often used in puzzles. The main one you will use is the taller one which gives a full expansion to a surrounding area rather than your initial tiny dome. While you can only make your dome so large on your own, there are two monolith types that can be used to help expand the affected area. Not-so-spoiler alert: her imagined story is also a legend in the world of Valdi and is keen to the one you are about to set out on.Ī lot of what you will be doing in this game is changing the season around you to see the difference in specific areas. They also do a good job by giving you the full story plot right in the beginning with a cutscene that plays out in Ary’s imagination. The journey to the meeting also gives you a light puzzle cavern to get through as well which blended together does a great job showing off how the game pretty much plays out and what to expect. During these fights, you will learn the basic attack set up, how to dodge, when to time a counter (or deflect), and your movement controls including run and jump. There is a fairly basic tutorial-style intro to the game where you will face off against a few enemies on your way to the initial meeting that kicks off the game. Being the most youthful and agile of the season leaders, Ary is sent to find out what has it will take to restore balance to the world, but little did she know just what troubles lie ahead! Gameplay In this meeting, she learns that the balance of all of Valdi has been disrupted by invasive crystals that disrupt the natural season and they need to get to the bottom of it. StoryĪfter reading a letter meant for her father requesting his presence at the secret meeting of the season leaders and knowing that he would be unable to attend due to his mourning of her lost brother, Ary sets out in her father’s place to represent the Winter season. While it definitely has some issues worth addressing, the overall question I want to address has to be “is the game fun?” And to that, I do have to say that it is. Working together they created Ary and the Secret of Seasons, an interesting action-puzzle game that has the gameplay familiar to that which many gamers grew up with and a story-filled atmosphere that is suitable for all ages. ![]() Taking on a unique approach in the action-adventure genre by giving players the ability to control the seasons within a dome around them which affects both enemies and the environment are the teams over at eXiin and Fishing Cactus.
