Pretty cool game! Definitely is very professionally crafted and oozes charm from every aspect. Love all the art, characters, the menus with their highlights and pop-ups, and...and everything, everything! Gameplay was solid as well, though I would argue that most of the enemies felt very unchallenging while also being very spongy, so it kinda turns into a slog that makes replaying not as appealing as it could be, since it just takes so much time (maybe it's because I was playing as the trucker, maybe the handgun is just too weak?). Would love to see the ability to hover over the weapons/items in your inventory to see what they are: sometimes I'd pick up an item too fast to see what the pop-up description said. Also would be nice if it prevented you from wasting a gun by picking up another one without confirming whether you want to discard (or i'd be nice if the previous gun would drop to the floor instead of poofing away). I wasn't sure what was going on with the psycho that chases you: he's not really a threat as he can easily be danced around, and I was shooting him for a good chunk of time without him dying, so long I thought he was invincible, I dunno, I guess he's kinda supposed to be a Spelunky ghost or something when you're taking too long? Wasn't sure what was going on. Anyway, still solid overall and good to see another cool game from you lads!
Reviews for "Dead Estate CLASSIC"
The graphics are incredible, and you really nailed the Halloween theme. The controls were nice and smooth. It does have room for improvement. If you added a pause button and a way to save your game, this game would be would be even better.
This game needs 2 things, a pause button and a feature to at least start over the level you uncovered. I mean The nemesis-style enemy pursuing you all the time is a wonderful scarry taste to the game and that cute witch is all too often not just metaphorically a sight for sore eyes. But 1 death = start over? Holy crap that's punishsing... Super punishing when you get wacked by the final boss. I believe that's one part of old NES 8-bit games I do want the industry to forget.
Really good. As a fan of TBOI and ETG i can firmly say - 10/10
Really fun game, desperately needs a pause button though.
