Story | It is your average Mario who has to rescue Princess Peach’s story. I regularly felt that I was stuck in Disneyland Paris Alice’s Curious Labyrinth, desperately looking for whatever I had to do with my newly earned abilities. To start the camera should have been wider and there should have been more help with navigation. The main problem remains that I was lost multiple times, the combination with respawning enemies even makes that problem bigger. Clunky Hero’s combat isn’t the strongest part of the game so beating the same enemies multiple times just ain’t fun. I completely understand that enemies respawn while you enter a new part of the level or even when you revisit previous levels but entering a small house should not reanimate all enemies in the map level. The constant respawning of enemies is another reason why this isn’t a game aimed at casuals. I highly disagree with that statement, I played my fair share of them and I was often a bit lost or clueless about what I had to do. A Metroidvania game for everybody… or maybe not | Going by the words of the dev Clunky Hero should be a Metroidvania for everyone. Boss fights do benefit from this, giving them a bit more oompfff. With exciting moments the volume goes up a bit giving it more punch. Your adventure with Rufus is accompanied by some atmosphere music that never gets repetitive or too loud. CLUNKY HERO MAP FULL
Some kind of spoken language and music | There’s no full voiced-work but gibberish, keeping in mind that this is an indie game I was happy to have that gibberish as it brings a bit more personality to the characters.Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the looks of the game! It is the best part of Clunky Hero and it visually outmatches many other games in the genre but it isn’t Ori or Cuphead quality. Monsters look decent too, they don’t always match the environment style but I didn’t really mind that.
CLUNKY HERO MAP GENERATOR
Characters are mixed as if some NPCs were done by a generator to save development time. They do look very good but something more original would have been welcome. The basics though, you have your castle, forest, and caves. Backgrounds are detailed and there is enough variation too. Hand-drawn visuals | Most of the time Clunky Hero looks really good, with nice aesthetic visuals.
