Light Tracer Review | DarkStation

Light Tracer had a lot of promise. Playing as a faceless, nameless, and voiceless guardian angel of sorts, you use a magic wand to guide a diminutive princess as she climbs the mystical Tower of Bellbatis to commune with the gods. With its colorful, Crossy Road-like visuals, wonderful background music, and platforming gameplay that’s trickier than it looks, Light Tracer had all the ingredients for a smash hit. To my dismay, my thoughts of praise didn’t last particularly long. I found myself awash in frustration over the terribly unfun boss battles. It wasn’t long until the game I had thought so fondly of at the start became something I wanted to throw out the window.
