Review: El Shaddai Ascension of the metatron

The plot of El Shaddai fishing with both hands by the ancient Book of Enoch, for the uninitiated is the most ancient apocryphal text of Jewish origin, whose final version dates back to the first century BC To avoid spoilers of any kind will not disclose much about the plot going to analyze other aspects of this unique new IP. The first thing that strikes the player is literally hypnotizes and graphic style chosen by the developers absolutely out parameter for color and design choices, in fact the first few minutes of the game are nothing short of unsettling and leave absolutely forbidden for the valuable work done by the graphics of UTV, who were able to create a visual style never before seen in any other game. The gameplay is divided into two parts, the first built on the styles of such action, while the second one of those typical of the platform, these two parts quite distinct in appearance between them, however, managed to be a whole, thanks to an alternating Intelligent leading to the creation of a flow capable of transporting the player-spectator into a dream world, where you face, for the umpteenth time in the course of time, the forces of good and evil. The combat system is very intuitive and also has a fair amount of tactics, rather than relying on the usual button mashing to win the fights, in this case is a must start your brain if you want to be right enemies, driven from the other from a very good AI routines despite not flaunt overly complex, but still able to embarrass the players not navigated. Sessions platform for their part are very well orchestrated, eye, however, not to be distracted by the beauty of the world around you, or you risk having it fall on deaf ears start from the beginning of spring session, to my way of seeing what's frustrating. The level design is especially inspired and able to portray a world of fascinating and mesmerizing made of bright colors, light and dark watercolors that follow one another seamlessly throughout the course of the game. Another peculiarity of this new production of UTV, is the total lack of screen interface, as the life bar has been replaced by none other than the armor of Enoch that each blow loose pieces, and when you will be completely destroyed as well consider yourself dead awarded unless the speed of light a sequence of four keys, which will allow you to recover a large part of energy, thus avoiding a frustrating game over. An honorable mention is well worth the soundtrack consists of evocative and dreamy pieces can give the right action on-screen pathos, and this combined with the distinctive art style, contributes to a unique gaming experience offered by the El Shaddai. However, despite the undoubted strengths, the game is not without flaws to begin the action steps that are repetitive in the long run going to lose when he is in biting adventure. Unfortunately, another sore point is to be found in the script that just deepens the characters and their backgrounds, and to make matters worse does not fully explain some of the passages, thus forcing the player to an in-depth documentation on the work from which the story takes its inspiration . Ultimately El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron looks like a solid action-adventure, which, while leaning on mechanical rather than break in does not fail to propose interesting ideas, both for aesthetic solution adopted by developers and for the plot, making it the de facto under a sort of old videogame work from which it draws inspiration. UTV central ignition target offers an experience of rare beauty and fun that hardly falls within game as perhaps the more appropriate term to describe it is to picture moving, El Shaddai ascension of the metatron is a must have in no uncertain terms essential for all gamers and those who were tired of the usual action game all the same as in aesthetics and content.Final grade
