Reviews for Sanguine 2

[CutestGirlHere]

I made an account just to comment on this game.

I absolutely loved it, this is one of the best flash games I've played in years, and for the past few days I've been scouring every inch of this game for every last secret area I could find. It was amazing, the combat was interesting, the boss fights were simple yet memorable, and the graphics and sound design were all perfect. I actually wanna go back and beat this again.

I did have some issues with the game, though they were mainly problems of me not figuring out how to do things properly. Like the chain, I had a lot of difficulty with it when I first tried it out, but after getting used to it I love it. Also the jump attacking parts in the Clock Tower thing was pretty difficult to me, since I didn't realize I could just hold jump and press attack when near something to bounce off of it. After that, it was pretty easy to do.

Also, that monster in the cornfield(Legend of Dan's Creek or something) absolutely scared the heck out of me when I first saw it. I'm now terrified of those corn fields. I really hope there's a way to fight it though, would be pretty epic to slay that thing.

All in all, this was amazing, and I'm currently trying to find the original game to try it out.

I for one thought this was a phenomenal sequel to an equally phenomenal game. I remember playing the original Sanguine and loving the proverbial shit out of it! Funnily enough, I couldn't remember what it was actually CALLED until seeing this sequel!

I thought that the music and sound design in general was excellent. It felt like I was actually playing a legit retro platformer. A hybrid between Castlevania and some other platformer except one with an overworld map. Not Mario 3. But something! Actraiser? I don't think it was on the NES but it reminds me of Actraiser and that's always a good thing!

It's got a decent challenge with a reasonable difficulty curve that gives you time to learn what different things do. How to navigate, what pick-ups do what, how to find secrets, etc. All in all, I felt it was very fair and a good experience.

That being said, I do have one major gripe with the game and that's the controls. They're mapped in a perfectly reasonable way, that isn't the issue. The issue is that they're very 'loose' and floaty. Jumping puzzles are always difficult (for me anyways) and they aren't helped by slippery ground and ultra-floaty jumps. The intro level alone killed me several times due to the ludicrously narrow margin for error and the controls during the cave section. I'd be fine with everything if not for that!

It's a solid game that's a total blast to play, but it really oughta control a bit tighter ya know? I give it 3.5 out of 5 for now, but it can be easily improved to a 4 or a 5 with some tweaking of the controls. I'm glad to see one of my favourite flash games getting a sequel if nothing else! Keep up the good work.

Rambo Platypus, out.

I love it, its a masterpiece, it's like Castlevania, the controls are very well.

PD: I spent the game, the final boss is easy

Artificial difficulty with floaty controls on insta-death platforming.

It's a good game, but the controls are flighty, the ground is consistently slippery. Combining these two facts makes this game incredibly frustrating.
