Robert Ortiz: When I was asked to review Fenix Rage it was described to me as a “2-D hardcore platformer”, and that’s pretty much what I got. I wasn’t that familiar with the genre but I knew what to expect. I never say no to a challenge and I went into it with an open mind, and my skills waiting to be tested. My first impression of the game was positive yet quietly unimpressed. While I haven’t traversed the rage-inducing gameplay of too many other hardcore 2-D platformers, what I experienced between the opening cutscene and the end of the first world left me feeling somewhat empty.
"Ted Lange from Reverb Communications Triple XP is here to show us some single and multi-player action from the new retro style action platformer Fenix Furia. Check it out!"
Indie game developer Green Lava Studios has been hard at work finalizing the addictive 2D action platformer Fenix 4@93 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With brand new features, play modes, and fine-tuned gameplay, the frenzied platform experience everyone loved on PC has been perfected for current-gen consoles.
From the review: "Fenix Rage is a pretty good game, but can also be a frustrating experience. If you don’t mind the fact that it could almost pass for a sequel to Super Meat Boy and that the difficulty curve is all over the place and can easily make you frustrated, it is an enjoyable experience. If any game needs Nintendo’s reminder to take a break now and then, this would be the one."
