It is an okay game at best. -The gameplay is really solid, and while difficult at points none of it was absurd enough to make me give up. This is the most important part of this game, and is the only thing really holding it up. -The visuals are pretty nice, along with the enemy design making each foe stand out though the backgrounds/level design could be confusing in terms of what was solid and what wasn't. - The music wasn't bad either. However, the game falls apart in two places, quite majorly. - Far too short really, with wasted potential. This also quite badly affects the second point. - The story and world is absolute trash. The whole game takes place in a self-aware video game reality, with incredibly hamfisted references to various classics such as The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. It presents this setting, very poorly and immaturely most of the time. It is as if the whole thing was an excuse to shoot the laughing dog from Duck Hunt and have blood spout from his neck, or have Mario riddled with gorey bullet holes. All if this ends somewhat abruptly without a chance to redeem itself. Perhaps the story was not meant to be all that concrete, which is fine, but if that was so then it should not have made such an attempt at focusing on it.
The kind of game you buy on sale. The music has got to be the best thing in this game, as you are fighting bosses and nearing its death, the music becomes super intense and just gets you pumped. Game is very short, beat it within 2 hours, however half of it was dying from the boss fights which are hard af. A few puzzles in the game as well that are straight forward.
Pretty short (almost three hours without going back to collect everything) but pretty nice game. Only minuses I notised are _short_ life of our hero (but then again, he's just a kid) and Russian localization (wonky translations in places, randomly translated names and one completely broken (logic-wise) dialog choice). All in all - nice choise for one/two evening(s) but better bought when on sale.
Alright, not usually one to write reviews on Steam, but I felt it was necessary here in order to help combat some of the negative main stream games press this title has received. I buy and play a great number of games every month across all platforms. Typically, I play those games for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour – and never go back to them. I am always looking for that next ‘gem’ which has the right mix of gameplay, aesthetic, and challenge in order to hold my attention from start to finish. After reading some reviews on the main game sites (reviewers I typically agree with), I almost didn’t buy Rise & Shine. I kept watching the gameplay video on the Steam page, and I felt I needed to give it a try anyway (I’ve liked most Adult Swim published games so far). I’ll address the main criticisms – length, difficulty, and story/humor. Length will be any easy one – it took me about 4 hours to beat a $12 game. Not sure what the issue is there – that was with minimal searching for secrets and collectibles, as well as trying all the mini-games a few times each. I haven’t even touched Iron Man mode or gone back to find the rest of the secrets and get perfect scores on said mini-games. You’ve got some replay value right there. Difficulty – I’m a player with what I’d consider average skills. Let me define average – I usually fall in the bottom third of the points board in online matches, can’t usually get past the first ‘dungeon’ in most rogue-likes (but I’ll be damned if I don’t try), and can’t even tell you what happens after the first boss in any of the ‘Souls’ games. I can finish most games of high difficulty that offer a reasonable checkpoint system and some sort of pattern that you can learn from with each attempt. Rise & Shine falls into this category. Is it difficult? Yes. Can a player of average skill complete the game? Certainly. With a little trial & error (there’s your sequel Super Mega Team) and a bevy of patience, I think most gamers could finish this game – and feel rather proud of that accomplishment – it’s not walk in the park. There’s one area in particular toward the very end of the game which I had to retry about 500 times – but each time I noticed something new in the pattern, something the developers had included for a purpose – that helped me make a bit more progress. There are at least 10 variables to keep track of in that fight at any given time. I think that battle could use an extra checkpoint somewhere along the way. Story/Humor – what’s not to like? Great comic-book style cut-scenes with equally great artwork. An interesting overall setting – lots of references to classic game franchises both modern and games past. The humor could probably be hit-or-miss for some folks, but it doesn’t detract from enjoyment of the game. It’s an action-platformer, and you’re getting a story deeper than any early Mega Man or Mario game – nothing to complain about here. So back to my initial comment about the ‘mix’ that keeps me interested. Rise & Shine has it. I was compelled to keep coming back to this game (despite raging out during a few of the more challenging areas) until I finished it. The gameplay is a great blend of a bullet-hell shoot ‘em up, puzzle solving, and strategy. The graphics and sound are top notch, and the challenge is just right. Overall, it reminds me of an old-school game like Mega Man combined with something like Ikaruga – both short but difficult games in which the true reward is being able to say you finished them. Buy this, support the devs – it stands tall among the crowd of Indies we’ve already seen this year.
