Thus, she was often in the realm of the Mortals, therefore, your Job as the angel of death is to keep an eye out for her. To the love of your (Not)life closer to come, you have to in Felix the Reaper tricky Puzzle to solve, and should not the sun light to come close. It makes surprisingly a lot of fun and oozes charm. However, the control makes the godfather of the Beat in the bone, a dash through the bill!
The first Heading
The 3D-Puzzle-Adventure Felix the Reaper is in collaboration with the Indie Studio Kong Orange and Daedalic Entertainment to life. The Phrase “come to life” in this context, almost funny. For you people to death must therein help. You can do mostly by Collecting and Placing the objects at the destination. By mouse click you can navigate to you on the playing field, which is divided into square fields. The sun you have to avoid, because when bony death form of harm to you. This is also the challenge of the game is to create The objects through the Level without having to leave the shadow!
Surprisingly, Felix the Reaper is not as bleak as it superficially seems. Bright colors, the simple, but cute character design, and humorous narrative exhilarate the mind. Felix is also not a common sense man, because his Passion is Dancing. Although this should reduce the Ministry to a Minimum, he presents his Moves with joy while his orders. At the end of each task, transforming the area into a Dance floor, where our Protagonist, once again shows what he can do. Of course, should not be missing in the whole dancing to the music, so you have as a player, a selection of over 13 different Tracks. These vary greatly, since they were externally developed by different people, so there’s definitely something for every taste. Some of the sound in the abstract right as well, you can’t expect any classic Sounds that accompany the Gameplay and painting.Do you have a melody found the speaks to you, you can get your orders to devote. This will lead you through various areas like 80s cities or snow-covered forests. . The landscape is lovingly designed, with a high degree of detail in the environment, don’t expect to find. The Artstyle fits, however, and reminds me a little of the cel shaded graphics of Borderlands. In the different areas you can expect fun challenges: once you have to move about a point of view, a big car, another Time, a nun in the madness and bustle.
Ouch! – The Sun
Each Level of Felix the Reaper starts with a short Cutscene in which you, the environment and the Situation to know. The scene is over, solidifies the time and you will be with the transport system of the death of the Ministry, “the Televator” in the territory. Now it is up to you to create the sympathetic dancers to the destination without crossing a beam of Sunlight. Fortunately, you have your sundial in your hand Luggage, with the help of the sun radiation at 90° angle affect. You use it in the wrong Position, you have a full load of sun light and you suffer a “sunburn”, then your last action makes use of undo. Later you can unlock a preview to the sun direction, to protect you from the Scorch. In addition, your items can place donation you a bit of shade. What is yet simple, and will later switch, pressure platforms, and increased subject number to a really challenging brain-teaser. So you don’t have to but at a seemingly impossible test hours of despair, you are able to request your next step display. Quite without Thinking it is not working yet, will be displayed to you only the important fields and where to place items – but the path to get there.
Each Level also has a Hardcore variant, which switches you to the successful completion of the normal counterparts free. In this mode, there is no assistance and additional obstacles, such as wind fields or einzusammelnde coins. That’s why you Felix should move as efficiently as possible on the game field. Unfortunately, the control sabotage you sometimes. If two things are next to each other, can have the effect of a click, that your goal is reversing, but afterwards placed. This is especially annoying, if you can make it a bonus challenge in each Level available. Meet your typical categories: time limit, Maximum number of trains, no sun burn, suffer, etc., of Course, you also get a decent wage for your efforts, in the Form of new tough Jobs. must These rewards motivate in addition to, and are a blessing when it thirsts you, at the end of the Story even more.
The first attempt is just Practice!
During my Playthroughs, I was trying to finish the beginning of my orders as quickly as possible and accurately, towards the end I just took my time to explore the surroundings – everything to complete the additional Challenges. In the first missions, I met the goals without much difficulty, later on, I needed a Plan in order to have any Chance at all with the new Limits. To-long Superior – restart. Once restart status–. Accidentally, the sundial used to restart. That’s why I took the first attempt in the area and the way for me to memorize. A couple of calls I needed anyway for my serious Runs, but my exertions should not be in vain. Between all the Planning and the Search of the ideal way, they hold I stopped short and marveled at the result. To see how Felix stylish by the Level of dancing and the work of death with Finesse done, really was a joy – I didn’t want to stop. Soon no levels were unplayed, two or three more, I would have liked already. By the way, his movements don’t look unfounded so “alive”, which were developed with professional dancers. Complex steps were in addition to dress-up, to ensure that you always makes a good figure.
CONCLUSION
Felix the Reaper shall, in particular, for the optional challenges, in-depth Thinking and good planning ahead, you but little assistance is always a way to counter. Some passages were this, however, is a little too easy, which reduces the appeal of Puzzle Adventures a bit. Nonetheless, the game gave me a nice time. To follow the law simply held the Story entertained me so much that I would like to know what the future holds for Felix holds. The conclusion suggests that we ride may be via dlc or successor the opportunity to get with Betty and Felix our adventure to best. If it comes to that, has Betty been practicing, hopefully, dance, otherwise your segments would be far less interesting for me. All in all, I had two very fun afternoons with the game. For a normal playing time of just six hours, is Felix the Reaper , although quite expensive, however, if you like to solve puzzles, all the additional tasks and the messenger of death, so happy dance looks like me, puts his money with Felix the Reaper is definitely good.
