Doomed'n Damned

Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Ghosts N Goblins: Cheap Flash/Unity engine Edition. Xbox pad works. Limited assets. Camera too close to protag and massive hitboxes everywhere. Review: Controls feel okay. Camera too zoomed in. Often changing Z levels on platform exposes you to immediate danger and there is no way to know ahead of time with those blind jumps. Character model and foe models are all way too large and make a lot of the screen a hitbox concern. Weapon where you throw a lance does not have a weird arc or anything. You shoot straight and you can shoot a lot in a short span of time. Its also possible to pick secondary ability power ups but those do not come into play nearly as much. Level design was not half bad and kept you mostly engaged in progressing further striking a good challenge balance for the most part. Xbox360 pad detected and working correctly. Quality of the visuals was debatable, there were some half decent ani...

If you are no good at voice acting, and can't afford to get proper voice actors, then just leave the voices out completely; it's fine, the old games that this one claims to be inspired by didn't have voice overs anyway. I wasn't impressed by this game in any way. The visuals are not bad but the gameplay is basic and takes far too many cues from 'rage' games, throwing enemies and pitfalls at the player that they couldn't reasonably be expected to avoid without prior knowledge. The level design is run-of-the-mill and requires pixel perfect positioning to avoid damage from enemy attacks. Overall I just didn't find the game rewarding or enjoyable; I was sick of it within 20 minutes. There are plenty of these 'retro inspired' platformers on Steam and most of them are better and cheaper than this. Go play one of those instead.

Doomed n Damned is an old school action platformer which takes a great deal of its inspiration from ghosts n goblins. Control: Control in this game is simple, but very responsive. You have a jump/double jump, alongside an attack button. If you press up + attack you use your sub weapon(like castlevania or ninja gaiden) It is simple but it works very well and I never ran into a scenario where I was killed due to unresponsive controls. Level design: When you load up the game you are greeted to a map, you start at the first level on the map and then the map branches off into 3 paths. Each path has 3 levels and then the map converges at the end. The first level has 3 different exits and each exit takes you to a different branching path. In order to beat the game you need to beat every level. Level design in this game is very good. The levels are pretty long, and most levels have different paths you can take to get to the end, the paths typically converge at the end but the diff...
