Where this game becomes much much more fun is to go CoOp or vs mode against a friend on the sofa. The levels are relatively short, but once you walk through the initial 15 levels, you soon realise that it's level length isn't the issue, it's the really taxing parts that come down to skill, and a little bit of luck (especially when you've duplicated your wee character into a dozen or more clones and most are getting sliced up or crushed by obstacles!) For what it is, this is a good little taxing game, pretty graphics and ease to control and master. It's art style isn't a million miles off, and the puzzle mix with platform is there, except you kind of float in badland. Whilst it's not by the same studio, the game has a real 'Limbo' feel to it. To my surprise, it's been a very fun, addictive little game. … ExpandĪnother good PS+ release Coming alongside Lords of the Fallen, which is a AAA title, i didn't have much optimism in Badlands as I Another good PS+ release Coming alongside Lords of the Fallen, which is a AAA title, i didn't have much optimism in Badlands as I downloaded it. Overall console version gets an 8/10, but is easily a 9/10 on phone/ tablet, etc. Cons: meant for on the go, made for wasting time. Pros: great variety of obstacles, challenge of collecting minions. Saying all this, this game honestly is nothing but a time waster, something you play when you have nothing better to do, but it does it really well. Grabbing as many minions to the finish a long the way keeps thing fresh and pushes you to try to get them all, guiding a lot of them to the end is rewarding.

Generous checkpoints ease the frustration a little bit, but the design of each level are pretty amazing, and the variety makes each level feel distinctively different in a good way.

One of the best experiences of Indies games that I have been able to experience, which I recommend to any gamer. Badland is a platform game within the action and adventure genre, but without leaving behind its strategic part since in many parts of the game it requires thinking a bit before acting. One of its peculiarities is that it has a local multiplayer mode for up to 4 players (on the same device). After these awards several ports were made for different platforms such as PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Playstation TV, Wii U and Xbox One. Badland was the winning game as best game of the year for iOS devices in 2013 and also won the Grand Prix in the tenth edition of the International Mobile Gaming Awards, so it is not an indie game anyone, but we could say that this game is a of the best Indies games in history. It attracts a lot of attention for its playability, graphics, interactivity, physics and originality. You’ll get touch screen support and more content that way.Indie game with an impressive aspect. Want to play Badland in 2021? Do so on a mobile device instead. I feel it hasn’t held up as well as hoped and will have its work cut out for it to stand out on the congested Switch eShop.

But it’s a game that wears its mid-2010s origins on its sleeves, warts and all. I give Badland props for its challenge, multiplayer, bold visual style, and content relative to its price. Again, it’s just gameplay that feels dated, no longer clicking in a way it might once have. What music exists is good, and the sound effects are strong, if overpowering. And statistics (both for single and coop play) have some fun records.īadland has a striking (if very familiar) visual style. I like how the achievements list what you need to do, so you have a clear goal in mind rather than just random play. Add in things like achievements, missions, clones saved, etc., and there’s plenty of content for $5.99.
