I had fun with this. The dark twists on classic stories, the story overall really was good in the campiest of ways. Lots of upgrades to find and some good looking visuals. Recommended

EN+RU review. I liked the game - quite an interesting twist with famous fairy-tale characters, the gameplay and the general dynamics of what is happening organically fit into the story, a varied selection of weapons that you can use at your own discretion, and sometimes you just won't go further without the necessary skill or weapon, which I personally like. Unfortunately, the game is not without flaws, there are a decent number of bugs, glitches and even softlocks. It is simply not possible to collect all the items in the post-game, since after re-passing the level for the hundredth time I still could not find all the secrets hidden on it, one thing is good, that to get 100% completion of the game, the game does not require a complete collection of everything in the game. In general, I most likely recommend purchasing this game, but better at a discount. ======================================================================================= Мне игра понравилась - довольно интересный твист с известными сказочными героями, геймплей и общая динамика происходящего органично вписались в историю, разнообразный выбор оружия, который можно использовать по своему усмотрению,а порой ты просто не пройдешь дальше без необходимого навыка или оружия, что лично мне нравится. К большому сожалению игра не без изъянов, присутсвует приличное количество багов, глитчей и даже софтлоков. собрать все предметы в пост гейме просто не представляется возможным, так как перепройдя уровень в сотый раз я так и не смог найти все спрятанные на нем секреты, радует одно, что для получения в игре прохождение игры на 100%, игра не требует полного сбора всего всего в игре. В общем я скорее всего советую к приобретению эту игру, но лучше по скидке.

As a professional bear lover, i approve this game. Game was good, but bear was great.

After slumbering in my Library for two years - first not even knowing how i got onto this game - it was a pleasant surprise! Story: Even tho some clichés were used, which even led me to highly suspect how the ending would be (i was right), it still kept me entertained. Over all the Characters were used in a very creative way and none of them felt bland,. Soundtrack: Awesome! Fits perfectly to each level and sets the mood right. Sometimes it felt even over the top - in a positive way! Wouldn't have expected that! Gameplay: In the beginning, the combat feels like it's lacking a bit of fluidity. The more Skills get unlocked, the more well-rounded does it get, which really feels rewarding. Honourable Mention: The Voice Actors did a really nice job, especially Teddy's. Well performed by the VA. Overall i'd give it a 7/10

Appealing by familiar setting but with a twist :) Short and exciting game, with rather clunky controls and some really frustrating platforming moments. Can recommend for its story, everything else is pretty average.
