Without a mouse or visual clues to hotspots the snapping cursor is ideally your best bet until you get to any of the half-dozen puzzles that require you to rotate a central wheel to move around sliding tiles into any of four slots. The first is a free-floating cursor and the other is a cursor that will snap to hotspots on the screen. Sadly, the controls were my only serious issue with the game. It’s pretty standard fare as far as adventure games go where you click to walk around and interact with objects to solve mechanical and environmental puzzles to access new areas. The game would grind to a halt on occasion when a troublesome puzzle blocked my progress, or the irksome controls ruined my flow.Īrmikrog tells the tale of Tommynaut and his blind dog, Beak-Beak as they crash on an alien planet and must explore an ancient temple to find a way off the planet and maybe rescue a baby in the process. The entire experience of playing Armikrog was a bit of a rollercoaster with an exhilarating opening movie that showcased some outstanding Claymation skills before dropping me into a standard 2D side-scrolling adventure game. So how well does a point-n-click adventure game work on a console and gamepad? Not as good as I had hoped, sadly. Bumrushing and brute force are for lesser mortals than you.Armikrog has been out on the PC for quite some time now but today marks its debut on the PlayStation 4. In other words, you’ll have to use your wit, synthesize the different abilities of your warriors and react to enemy tactics to become truly the king of Kyn. Early foes may wander helpfully into the path of your strongest warrior, but later enemies will flank you, send raiding parties on ahead and make use of defensive formations to better their chances.
You’ll have to be smart to succeed: enemy AIs will evolve throughout the game and use increasingly complex maneuvers against you. Kyn is a fast-paced and intelligent take on the fantasy genre where your actions will slowly shape the world around you. A hybrid take on the RPG genre which evokes the tactical battles of Syndicate Wars, mastery of real-time battle strategies is key to progressing through Kyn’s lands full of complex puzzles, dangerous quests and – of course – whole mountainloads of loot. Two-man developer Tangrin bring you their debut title Kyn, a lush new tactical RPG where players take control of a troop of up to six specialized warriors and slash, shoot, spellcast and strategize their way through an epic Norse world.
Kyn is a team-based tactical RPG developed by two-man studio Tangrin within the span of two years.
