Rasterman (npub1e8v…s7yy) PSA: Don't buy Timespinner!

If you for some reason HAVE to play it, sail the seven seas.

I played one of the wokest games ever. :pepe_fact:

Timespinner.

Makes Concord look like Angry Goy II by comparison.

First, the good part: it's a metroidvania and it copies Symphony of the Night. It cannot be overstated. It COPIES SotN to a degree you might not believe until you watch a minute or two of gameplay. The item system, the menu, the skills, the level layout. This is nothing like how A Robot Named Fight or The Mummy Demastered are heavily inspired by Super Metroid. This is like they put a coat of paint over SotN to make a different story.

Therefore, by virtue of shamelessly copying SotN, turns out the gameplay is excellent. The controls are precise and there are a few quality of life improvements over the game they are based off. The one issue I found with the game aspect is that it's rather short. Instead of the second castle, it uses a time travel mechanic to have two versions of the same map, but you traverse it very quickly. I think I finished the game in two days.

Now, it may just be that the game has more content than I found, but I have no desire to find it because... Here comes the bad part: the world and its plot.
