Key aspects of gameplay
In the old days, when the main gaming platforms were consoles of previous generations, all kinds of platformers were incredibly popular. Such projects combined the gameplay of arcade, action and even RPG. In those days, such games took their place in hearts of players, but nowadays developers rarely resort to concept of platformers.
The only haven for fans of this genre are mobile platforms, where developers continue to develop the idea of old games. Many of these studios try to evoke a sense of nostalgia, which is why such projects continue to use pixel graphics. Fortunately, there are developers who are trying to innovate this genre. In addition, we can attribute Idle Slayer to similar projects.
Explore various labyrinths
From the outset, Etermare provides four different modes to choose: Limbox, Gray Terrace, Lucid Hall and Primbyrinth. Each of them has its own characteristics. For example, Limbox is a classic maze full of chances and wonders. Lucid Hall positions itself as a place where eternal chaos reigns. Well, Primbyrinth is a completely mysterious location, from which you never know what to expect. Initially, only Limbox maze is available to the player. You must complete at least one level to unlock the rest of the options.
Find a way out
All labyrinths generate randomly in Etermare, just like the portal, that player needs to find in order to proceed to the next stage. It is important to understand one thing – the portal is somewhere below and how to get there is player’s concern. Main character has quite a few functions, which include jump, shooting bullets, planting bombs, as well as special skill – a powerful laser that hits everyone in its path. This laser has a recharge time of about 15 seconds. In addition, your hero can fly! You need to press the jump button several times to achieve this. He also knows how to cling to walls.
Main character has a large number of weapons for a reason. Tons of enemies await him on the way and his lives are not endless. You can also fight bosses. They are waiting for player at end of the levels. It is necessary to fire more than one charge from laser or throw bombs to kill him. As adventure progresses, you can also collect special items for constructing in order to create more powerful weapons. There are also many common traps in the labyrinths, such as laser turrets, electric floors and blades flying out of the walls. Don’t forget about bonuses that can help you replenish life energy a little.
Another interesting feature is destructible environment. If you are at a dead-end and do not know how to continue on your way, then place the bomb near the wall or on the floor. It will explode and open new walkthrough. Etermare is a purely single project. There is not even a hint of multiplayer here. It is difficult to say if complexity of mazes increases over time, given the fact that AI is responsible for its generation. However, you can definitely be sure of the variety of levels and traps.
Overall quality
Etermare boasts of pixel art without a hint of realism. Application takes up less than 100 megabytes of free space, so any owner of Android device can afford it. The controls in the game are simple – there are several buttons responsible for actions. Tap them in time, move around and shoot. You need to press the jump button several times to fly. In general, the controls are standard for this kind of games.
No ads mod
After the death of main hero, the system prompts player to revive from same place, so as not to go through the entire level from the beginning. In order to do this, you need to view video ad. The video runs for about a minute, and this is certainly tiring. However, you can download our mod for Etermare with all ads removed. Therefore, you can immediately resume your adventures, even if you suddenly die on one of the levels.
Summing up
We rate Etermare as a good game. All fans of the genre should appreciate an interesting idea with random level generator. Division into different types of labyrinths is also pleasing, there are as many as four of them here. Filling locations and gloomy gray atmosphere also makes the game praise. Therefore, if you have been looking for exciting platformer for a long time, then you should pay attention to this game.
