Chet chimes in on Nostatic Software's latest XBLIG release. Does it live up to their classic "Quiet Please"?
NL:
Full 100% completion, for us, took roughly 45 minutes. At $2 USD - at launch - it's hard to say if that's worth your time or not. Responsive controls and an old-school style of teachings (without tutorials) harkens back to the "good ol' days" of platforming on the NES. Unfortunately, Ascent of Kings can at times feel sparse, and it doesn't exactly scream replayability; that's an issue for a game that can be completed so quickly.
"Nostatic Software is bringing another one of their games over to the Wii U eShop. Ascent of Kings follows a young boy on a platforming adventure to become the next ruler of the kingdom. The game promises intense platforming, plenty of power-ups, unique creature encounters (some friendly and some not), and deadly traps."
GameZone's David Sanchez writes: "Quite a bit of notable news has surfaced within the indie gaming spectrum this week. We’ve got new titles on the PC and mobile platforms. An intriguing new freeware download has been released by the creator of the incredible Mighty of Jill Off. There are also some cool games to look forward to. So I’m just going to cut this introductory paragraph short (Take that fourth wall of writing!) and get on with it. Let’s talk indie games!"
