I played one of the wokest games ever. :pepe_fact:

Timespinner.

Makes Concord look like Angry Goy II by comparison.

First, the good part: it's a metroidvania and it copies Symphony of the Night. It cannot be overstated. It COPIES SotN to a degree you might not believe until you watch a minute or two of gameplay. The item system, the menu, the skills, the level layout. This is nothing like how A Robot Named Fight or The Mummy Demastered are heavily inspired by Super Metroid. This is like they put a coat of paint over SotN to make a different story.

Therefore, by virtue of shamelessly copying SotN, turns out the gameplay is excellent. The controls are precise and there are a few quality of life improvements over the game they are based off. The one issue I found with the game aspect is that it's rather short. Instead of the second castle, it uses a time travel mechanic to have two versions of the same map, but you traverse it very quickly. I think I finished the game in two days.

Now, it may just be that the game has more content than I found, but I have no desire to find it because... Here comes the bad part: the world and its plot.

@rasterman I played it a few years back.
It really is good in turns of gameplay.
But the trannies... dear God.
And the plot has all sorts of holes in it.
Skip all dialogue, and it's a solid 7/10.

@coded_artist Factual.

The gameplay stands.

Were there trannies? I didn't notice any. Or was it written by trannies? It struck me as a TERF game rather than a troon game. But I stopped reading the lore past 75% of the game and left a chunk of one of the maps unexplored, so I may have missed important details.

@rasterman It was years ago, so might be a bit hazy, but I'm pretty sure there was a dude with blue hair that was a tranny, female to male, and another tranny a chick with pink hair, male to female, and they get together later in the game.

@rasterman This one I think, is supposed to be a dude.
The other one, the FtM I don't remember, and it's hard to find pictures of NPCs.
It's very early in the game that you meet them.

@coded_artist I remember that character. I never went back to give them their tools so I don't know what those people were about.

Goodness, that design. I didn't need to see it again. :dead:
