User reviews & Ratings

The game itself is quite fun with the standard "fight the boss" elements which require platforming and figuring out the "pattern" of the boss. I especially enjoyed being able to surf around on my shield and explore the main map and find items that increase your strength. Each level was of appropriate length and wasn't too difficult. But there is a bug which does not let you go back and try the race again after you exit without finishing. You have to play from the start again to get that achievement and the relic that comes with it to get the "all trophies" achievement. Since I was especially bad at the racing part, I don't really want to play the whole game over again just to get those three achievements. I would recommend it even though there are some flaws. But definitely wait for a good sale.

It's a really well made game. It's low on offense (not too many combat options), and it's more mechanic-heavy, but it's a light and fun 7-hour game play. It has subtle legend of Zelda vibes. Would definitely recommend!

This game is a hidden gem! I didn't expect much when I launched the game, but it blew me away. Yes, there is a few graphic glitches where you poke through a wall and yes, the camera angle goes a bit wonky sometimes, but this is very rare and not really disturbing enough to hold your attention for more than a sec or two. I've seen much way worse with "popular" games that cost a bunch more than this one. The surf feature is amazing and controls are on point! I had a blast surfing over the extremely pretty red landscape while searching for treasures. The game itself is super easy and I would even say kid-friendly. Its a casual, but very entertaining little game with straight forward puzzles. The combat system isn't outstanding, but I think it fits the game very well and you learn to control it a bit more throughout the game. My biggest complaint is the length of the game - I want more! This was so good, that I finished it 100% with all achievements in one sitting.

Information / Review English Effie is an Action Adventure / Platformer developed by Inverge Studios. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2422505765 Gameplay / Story The Story is told quickly: Effie sits in front of the Fireplace while her Grandfather tells a fairytale Story. It is about Galand - a young Knight who was cursed by the nasty witch Melira and turned into an old Man or rather you have been playing Galand and reliving the Memories. Looking for a way to avert the Curse, he comes across a mysterious Shield with magical Powers. With this Weapon he denies his Adventure and goes in search of the "Gems of Evil", which give him access to Melira's Fortress in order to face the witch there. Visually, the cute Adventure can definitely Score: Effie joins the Group of Games that get a lot out of their Polygonal and low-texture look, in a similar form, as is the case with The Witness or Rime. The simple neo-retro Aesthetic suits the Game perfectly. In addition, the Environment is varied and beautiful throughout. As you would expect, there are of course Collectibles: Rune stones are scattered around the World. If we have found enough of it, we go up a Level and from then on have more life Energy and Mana. Here and there there are golden Boxes with other Collectibles, but they serve no purpose, we only collect them for the sake of Collecting. But we don't feel really motivated to do so. to watch. In Addition, various Opponents stand in our Way on our Adventure. With our Shield we put them on their hats. The Boss fights are a bit more exciting: At the End of each Chapter we face the witch Melira. In order to put them in their Place, we have to complete various Skill passages. Pro + fairytale Narrative style + charming 3D Platformer + winding Temples and Cities + good Magic skills + Acrobatics, Fighting, Puzzles, Collecting + easy-to-learn Controls + open outside World with Mini-Games and Surf inserts + Successes Contra - Opponent's AI is terrible at Times - The Game world looks partially empty - superfluous experience Points and Promotions Conclusion Effie offers you a magical Adventure which is told with a lot of Charm and Humor. If you like Yooka-Laylee and whatever her Name is, you should definitely Access it here. Informationen / Review Deutsch Effie ist ein Action- Abenteuer/Plattformer, welcher von Inverge Studios entwickelt wurde. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2422505765 Gameplay/ Geschichte Die Geschichte schnell erzählt: Effie sitzt vor dem Kaminfeuer, während ihr Großvater eine märchenhafte Geschichte erzählt. Sie handelt von Galand – einem jungen Ritter, der von der fiesen Hexe Melira verflucht und in einen alten Mann verwandelt wurde oder besser gesagt ihr seit und spielt Galand und durchlebt die Erinnerungen. Auf der Suche nach einem Weg, den Fluch abzuwenden, stößt er auf einen geheimnisvollen Schild mit magischen Kräften. Mit dieser Waffe bestreitet er sein Abenteuer und macht sich auf die Suche nach den „Gems of Evil“, die ihm Zugang zu Meliras Festung verschaffen, um der Hexe dort entgegenzutreten. Visuell kann das knuffige Adventure durchaus punkten: Effie reiht sich in die Gruppe von Spielen ein, die aus ihrer polygon und texturarmen Optik viel herausholen, in ähnlicher Form, wie es auch bei The Witness oder Rime der Fall ist. Die simple Neo-Retro-Ästhetik steht dem Spiel hervorragend zu Gesicht. Außerdem ist die Umgebung abwechslungsreich und durchgehend hübsch Wie zu erwarten, gibt es natürlich Sammelgegenstände: Überall in der Welt sind Runensteine verteilt. Haben wir genug davon gefunden, steigen wir einen Level auf und haben fortan mehr Lebensenergie und Mana. Hier und da gibt‘s noch goldene Kisten mit anderen Sammelobjekten, die allerdings keinen Zweck erfüllen – wir sammeln sie also nur, um des Sammelns willen. So richtig motiviert fühlen wir uns dazu aber nicht. anzusehen. uf unserem Abenteuer stellen sich uns außerdem verschiedene Gegner in den Weg. Mit unserem Schild geben wir ihnen auf die Mütze. Etwas spannender fallen dafür die Bosskämpfe aus: Am Ende jedes Kapitels treten wir der Hexe Melira gegenüber. Um sie in die Schranken zu weisen, müssen wir verschiedene Geschicklichkeitspassagen absolvieren. Pro + märchenhafter Erzählstil + charmanter 3D-Plattformer + verwinkelte Tempel und Städte + gute magische Fähigkeiten + Akrobatik, Kampf, Rätsel, Sammelei + leicht zu erlernende Steuerung + offene Außenwelt mit Minispielen und Surfeinlagen + Erfolge Kontra - KI des Gegners ist manchmal schrecklich - Spielwelt wirkt teilweise leer - überflüssige Erfahrungspunkte und Aufstiege Fazit Effie bietet dir eine magisches Abenteuer welches mit viel Charme und Humor erzählt wird. Wer Yooka-Laylee und wie sie alle heißen mag, unbedingt hier zugreifen.

8.8/10 ~ Effie is an adorable little game! It reminded me a LOT of Ratchet and Clank except free-roaming/open world-ish which felt great. The game design was beautiful & the concept of the story itself was lovely. I really, thoroughly enjoyed this game! However: I will say that for the price & only 5 hours, a little disappointed I was but nonetheless a good game to play and enjoy!
