Legend of Fae is a 2D puzzle-rpg title with bright, colorful graphics, but the gameplay is a snoozer.

El Shaddai

The folks behind Viewtiful Joe and Okami took the Bible, gave it to Sawaki Takeyasu and came up with an awesome-looking, Ninja Gaiden-style action platformer with puzzle elements. My mind was blown just from hearing that. Every single level has its own distinct art style; one even covers 200 years. They’re all sparing and impressionistic … except for the one that looks sort of normal and was put there to intentionally mess with the player. The platforming levels look like cell-shaded 2D – even the ones where enemies are trying really hard to kill you while you solve puzzles jumping from platform to platform. Very pretty.

I saw an Alpha version of the game that nicely informed me at the beginning that the final version of the game might look nothing like what I was about to see. The game opens when Jackie Estacado – now head of the Estacado crime family – comes to from black. His hand’s being pounded into a plank, crucifixion style (blood spatters across the screen as the nail crunches through flesh and bone; if you didn’t know this game was visceral, Hello!), and some creepy-looking ugly dude with a cane attempts to persuade him to give up The Darkness. Creepy guy does this by triggering memories in Jackie – and those memories form the game.
