Just when you think you've seen it all and know it all, out of nowhere comes a Catalan studio that puts together a combination of genres so finely crafted that it leaves you speechless. Treasures of the Aegean might look like a metroidvania at first glance, but exploration is not tied to upgrades. All that you need is the ability to run as fast as you...
A 2D platformer that perfectly captures the freedom of adventure in search of treasure and with simple puzzles in between, but that always encourages us to keep exploring for one more time loop on the Island of Minos, a very nice place to get lost (and find yourself) for a few hours of fun.
Imagine a 2D Lara Croft, with Prince of Persia Moves...
In the end, my experience with Treasures of the Aegean was mixed. At first, it was a little weird, getting more interesting after a few loops and, by the end, it was a little confusing as I learned what to do to advance through the game along with the heroine. It's compelling for those who love exploration and puzzles demanding a healthy dose of dedication...
Treasures of the Aegean offers an interesting mix between parkour, metroidvania and roguelike, with a very fun and addictive handling. His artistic and sound style are quite elaborate and work very well with the chosen theme. On the other hand, it can become too repetitive and monotonous due to its huge map and its lack of variety of scenarios.
