Aeon drive destiny 235/17/2023 ![]() ![]() Jack does not feel so responsive compared to other platforming games. The gameplay itself can sometimes fall short of fun. You’ll find each level adds another element such as disappearing platforms, jump pads and more enemies among other things.Īlthough the dagger teleporting element of the game can be fun at times. As you progress through each environment, it does get progressively harder. The anime/pixel art style is great for a simple action/platformer but since it has been overdone time and time again for the past decade or so, it really feels more of a reason to create quick assets and a reasonable game development turnover time to deliver the game rather than an art direction. It’s rather more of a robot ridden wasteland with obstacles placed randomly for no real reason. The environments in Neo Barcelona are very generic and don’t really give a sense of something lived in. One hit from an enemy and its back to the starting line again. She can also slide, and wall jump but be careful. She can throw it in any direction and then teleport wherever it is allowed to stick. Jack’s dagger teleport ability is the core gameplay mechanic to traverse the dangerous environments. Keep in mind, the leaderboards track how long you took completing the level, not how much time was left on the clock upon completion. If you’re simply completing each level and moving on, you’re missing out on the challenges and difficulty that Aeon Drive has to offer. There is Discord integrations and Streamer mode with Aeon Drive’s Global Leaderboards to challenge friends and players from around the world and local to show everyone how good you are. This is Aeon Drive’s core replayability feature, perfection! No easy feat, so one must be strategic in how and where to be and when to use those drives to extend the time and make it to the top of the leaderboards. Many would want to strive for perfection and collect everything that each level offers. Not much to play in the eyes of a non-speed-running gamer. Doing the math, beating every level in 30 seconds without failing, that’s only 50 minutes of gameplay. That’s 10 levels for 10 different environments. You will find your way through 100 levels set across several suburbs in the futuristic Neo-Barcelona. ![]() Luckily, collect enough drive cores and you can add extended time by a few seconds to make it to the end. Players have 30 seconds in each level to collect as many pick-up collectibles as they can and make it to the end of the level’s teleporter. A woman named Jack, a young space ranger from another dimension and her robo-sidekick Vera crash land in the city of Neo Barcelona with one goal, collect the drive cores she needs to repair the ship. Aeon Drive, developed by 2Awesome Studio and published by CRITICAL REFLEX has tried their hand in the genre and, although it offers the bare minimum of speed-run style action, it can fall short of a few things that make the genre so easy to pick up and play quickly.Īeon Drive starts off simple and straightforward. This genre of gaming has picked up drastically over the last few years and has developed into a popular eSport. That’s why many speed-run style games are popular such as Super Meat Boy, Celeste, Dead Cells and more. Speed-running a game offers many different challenges such as reaction time, puzzle solving and game manipulation that wasn’t originally offered in the first place.These types of challenges give a whole other sense of appreciation and accomplishment that many may fail to see. Remember, video games are meant to be enjoyed however the player sees fit. Many believe that speed-running has no business being a “thing” because the point of a video game is to enjoy what it has to offer by taking your time. The speed-run style genre is a beast that can sometimes be difficult to understand. ![]()
