Party of Sin opens with the seven deadly sins on the run from hell. It's a good premise and delightfully witty. As they advance through hell, purgatory and other regions that I will not reveal, will see that besides the good premise Party of Sin has many good aspects. With anger, greed, gluttony, envy, pride, lust and laziness will try to reach the end of several platform levels with colorful scenes and overall a good experience.
All sins in Party of Sin has its own abilities, of course. Rabies can use special switches or crushes certain walls. Greed has a chain that lets you drag items and enemies towards him, and it can be used to hold on to certain points. Gluttony can swallow cubes to solve puzzles, and it can even swallow enemies to recover life. Envy can shoot a green laser lighting torches and burning enemies. Pride can cut with your sword to deflect projectiles or a jump. Luxuria can disable enemies with charm by placing them in a friendly state, and it can also create platforms. Finally, laziness can slow enemies and objects. As I said creativity is immense and Party of Sin is super fun.
Hey folks, one more bundle full of some great games and indie titles for that rainy day.
Alex Harrison takes a look at Party of Sin, a story of an indie game being funded successfully, raising over 200% of what Crankshaft Games required to take this idea to production. But does it guide us to gaming salvation or leave us in damnation of another average puzzle platformer?
Indie and a platformer aren’t the words that inspire confidence. While some people like platforming – and I don’t judge them too harshly – personally I view it as something that takes place instead of actual fun gameplay, i.e. shooting. Unless it’s Mirror’s Edge, which was cool. But Party of Sin is closer to Mario than to parkouring Asian curriers and, while trying to emulate Trine, does it come any close or fails, crashes and burns, much like Lucifer?
