XBA Says: While this 2D platformer is not perfect, it has some merits that makes it worth looking at.
This week's episode of Player 2 Plays sees Matt take on the charming indie platformer, SkyKeepers.
This week Tyriq(@FourBitFriday/@Catacomb Kid) creator of Catacomb Kids joins Tiny (@Tiny415) and Aaron(@Ind1fference) to talk about: Ghost in the Shell, Speed Racer, Four Bit Friday, Catacomb Kids, Aesop Rock, Spelunky, Epic Mickey, Thor DS, Amore the Unicorn Keep, Lucky Train, Thor Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Fate of the Furious, Justice League, CB4, Charlie Murphy, Extra Life, Smule, Donnel Jones, LeVar Burton, Shel Silverstein, Go the F to Sleep, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Severed, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, Overwatch, Mr. Shifty, Thimbleweed Park, Dawn of War 3, LucasArts, Maniac Mansion, Has-Been Heroes, 88 Heroes, SkyKeepers, Vroom in the Night Sky, Air Guitar Warriors, Xbox Project Scorpio, Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Kirby’s Blowout Blast, Fire Emblem and more.
When you look at a 2D action game that features mini-Metroidvania stages, it definitely seems promising. However, is SkyKeepers a worthwhile experience after persevering through its glitches and inherent frustration?
The sprites and art style are ugly in general, but I'm glad to hear it's a decent game overall.
The melee combat does not have any forward momentum during attacks making it just annoying and not fun.
