Animal Godsis a lovely looking indie game with an atmospheric soundtrack and a story to tell.
Unfortunately, thats about all it has going for it.
Uninspired, basic, and unrewarding gameplay let down what really could have been an incredibly stylish effort.
The story is interesting enough.
So far, soZelda.
Sadly, a good looking Lion God does not make for an engaging game all by itself.
Its one of those games that feels difficult because of awkward controls and bad design.
In short: when its hard, its usually because its bloody fiddly.
Youll be relieved to see the back of each dungeon, andnotin a Hurray, I did it!
You pick up a short sword and are expected to take out the monsters within.
What were given is so basic that you cant help but feel a little cheated.
Thats the real tragedy here.
Animal Godsis out on Steam now for PC, Mac and Linux.
