Give us the same mechanics in a more arcade-like environment, and we might just have a more engaging game that we can come back to from time to time.
While metroidvanias are fun, playing as a monster in this game style is probably not the best fit. Thankfully, the environmental puzzles take some thinking to solve, which breaks up the pace here and there.Ĭarrion is a fun game for sure, but it definitely leaves a lot to be desired. Though one downside to this minimal approach is that you are only equipped with your monster abilities, so while it makes sense for you to be this hulking massive monster, the development team made sure not to include minimaps or a robust hint system to clue you in on where to go next.Ĭombat does feel simplistic as well - you are able to plow through pretty much anything, until the later stages where the enemies are just more equipped to handle you as a threat, though the dominant strategy of just devouring everything remains the same. So, if you’re looking for a complex and deep story, this isn’t it, but it definitely does a great job of making you feel like an unstoppable monster. The game is definitely minimal in execution, leaving you to be fully immersed as the monster, with barely any plot progression since you are playing as the very abomination that moves the story along.
Later on, you’ll also get a plunger/suction cup-like appendage that also requires the right-stick to aim. With the right stick, you can aim your tentacles to grab onto objects in the stage, like grates that are blocking the path forward.
