Daggerhood
SCORE: 50
A digital download code for Daggerhood was given to Family Friendly
Gaming on the Nintendo Switch and PS4. I used the code for the Nintendo
Switch only. This new game is done in the retro style. Daggerhood looks
like an 8-bit to maybe a 12-bit video game. We play a thief. This evil,
vile, and wicked character has been caught and is thrown down into a
dungeon cave.
What is our goal in Daggerhood? We are supposed to escape and then steal
from others. This did not motivate me. In fact I wanted the thief to pay
for his horrible crimes. Have you ever had anything stolen from you? If
you have then you know how bad that feels. It is such a bad feeling that
I could never support theft in any way shape or form. How can some
people think they have more of a right to your property than you do?
The sounds and music in Daggerhood are okay. The controls gave me fits
at times. Especially the wall jump mixed with the double jump. Usually
it made more sense to keep jumping up the same wall than to try and go
back and forth between walls. There are treasures and fairies to collect
in Daggerhood. You must be quick to get the fairies though. You can miss
the fairy and still get three stars in a level.
Daggerhood has one interesting game play mechanic to it. Most indie
games do have one fascinating thing about them. We throw our dagger and
then teleport to where it is. This allows us the ability to get to
certain spots without taking damage. Like over spikes for example. It
can also help players traverse chasms they cannot jump with the 8-bit
looking character.
There are one hundred levels in five worlds. Each of the five worlds has
a boss character the player must defeat. At the start of each new world
players are given a new game play mechanic to learn. These are important
in getting past the challenges in each of the worlds. Daggerhood is an
one hundred and sixty-six meg download for those needing to know the
file size.
