The Starship Damrey
SCORE: 67
The Starship Damrey is the first game from
the second series of Nintendo 3DS unique titles from Level-5. I was
skeptical when Nintendo announced this partnership. But the games being
produced are stretching the limit of games. The Starship Damrey starts
like many retro games did. Meaning you figure out what you are supposed
to do.
The Starship Damrey explains right from the beginning that there is no
tutorial. You explore your environment and learn what you need to do.
This can lead to one of two experiences; frustration or an enjoyable
experience. I found periods where I was utterly confused, and I was
excited whenever I figured anything out.
The look and feel to The Starship Damrey is definitely not retro. It is
on the dark and scary side though. Parts of The Starship Damrey will
freak out the most grounded person. There are dead bodies, broken
robots, and more in this hand held downloadable title.
The sounds in The Starship Damrey can enhance the creepy environment. I
like the voice of the computer. Listening to The Starship Damrey is very
important since a main part of this game is audio. You hear when space
leeches are near you. Those nasty critters need to be exterminated by
the way.
The Starship Damrey is not a game for children. Adults who are
interested in exploring this environment will find a fascinating
storyline and plenty of things to find. The experience can feel short
especially if you know what to do. You may still have questions after
beating the game though.
The coolest thing about The Starship Damrey is how it stands apart from
so many other gaming experiences out there. It is retro, but new. It is
dark, but also innocent. The Starship Damrey is a paradox wrapped up
inside an enigma. The writing is fantastic for the older members of the
family.
