As with many Ratalaika releases, this one’s a palette cleanser – too easy to leave a lasting impression, but entertaining while it lasts. The uplifting retro soundtrack helps in that regard, as does the short length of the game – and trophy hunters will find that their rewards come easy as well. It’s formulaic stuff, but it’s generally fun to cruise through when you’re not looking for much of a challenge. Bosses pose a larger challenge, but are a simple case of spotting their weakness and attacking when they offer an opening. The same is true for the combat, which due to relatively slow-paced action is also easy to overcome – grab something to throw at the enemy and push on. Most are simple cases of pushing a block onto a pressure pad, and things don’t get much harder than that. These add diversity to the gameplay and puzzles, like when you gain the ability to sprint or hit switches from a distance with a boomerang, but doesn’t offer the complexity you’d expect from the included puzzles. The campaign is short (one to two hours), and is divided between six game worlds that each introduce a special ability. Their names are a good hint at the overall style of the game, which is cute and not very challenging – especially when you play it in the game’s included local two-player mode. With a similar retro-inspired top down visual style with cute and colorful graphics and an easy to digest mix of adventuring and puzzles, it’s easy to see the comparison.ĭandy & Randy DX is more of an action/puzzle adventure though, and features archeologists Dandy Duck and Randy Rabbit who are down on their luck but suddenly see a chance for fortune and fame.
COZY GROVE PS4 PC
We’re used to seeing Ratalaika Games releases that are console ports of games that were released earlier on PC, but Dandy & Randy DX is a brand new multiplatform release that’s being launched simultaneously on PC and consoles – we gave it a spin on the PlayStation 4.Īlthough we weren’t familiar with developer Asteristic Game Studio, Dandy & Randy DX reminded us a bit of another Ratalaika game: Super Box Land Demake by developer lightUP, who recently launched Wild West Crops. We’re gathering up three very different releases this time, with a review of Dandy & Randy DX, a look at a new version of This War of Mine and a return to Cozy Grove with some additional DLC.
