the Cacops Journey’ Mixes Retro Allure & Dinosaurs

Dinopunk: the Cacops Journey is a side-scrolling arcade platformer with plenty of nostalgia in its (mesozoic) roots.

You get to play just a little dinosaur, who can use the facility of water to defeat enemies and work your manner via ranges, all to get again a stolen egg from an evil ninja! The whole lot is brilliant, pixelated and vibrant on this recreation! Your little creature is totally cute, exploring the lands and taking up a wide range of enemies to get again the egg. I performed via among the seaside ranges, the place the seaside creatures weren’t difficult and every little thing did really feel like plenty of enjoyable. One of many bosses, an enormous dinosaur with a pair of headphones, is what actually began bringing within the precise problem of the sport.

Avoiding bosses assaults, watching out for fallen gadgets, and taking pictures out tons of water is vital to staying alive and beating your enemies. Dinopunk: the Cacops Journey doesn’t simply have boss fights and customary platforming ranges, both, as there are some non-compulsory ranges across the map like browsing, which has you transferring barely in another way to do methods and staying forward of an enormous wave! These breaks from the principle gameplay add plenty of selection to the sport.

Thie retro-inspired journey feels glossy, enjoyable, and like an excellent tackle traditional video games. There may be clearly plenty of love for 80s and 90s video games which have been put into this one! I solely acquired to play a demo at BCN Sport Fest, however I used to be fascinated with seeing extra of the degrees and non-compulsory mini-games that the sport itself needed to provide. It feels acquainted, whereas additionally feeling distinctive, with very enjoyable characters and plenty of problem within the boss fights!
