Spider Rope Hero: Spider Hero

This is an independently developed metroidvania platformer style game that takes inspiration from Dark Souls II, Fortnite, and Candy Crush. The graphical fidelity leaves a but to be desired, but the stylized artwork makes it inconsequential most of the time. The core gameplay loop revolves around arena combat encounters making use of the games dodge roll combat and elemental weakness system. The most significant element is the games plot. The player’s interactions with the princess heavily influence the game’s plot, with her being a stand in for traditional standards of western morality, and the players reaction to it effecting the princess’s role in the narrative and gameplay, giving the game significant replay value. Overall, a genre defining landmark that stands as a monument to the capabilities of independent developers in the modern gaming landscape 8/10: Please port Bloodborne to PC.
