    The developer clearly is a fan of some classic experiences and knows how to take their spirit and bring it to the present. The challenge is to update the core mechanics interestingly and choose the right concepts for the world he is building. Guild of Darksteel is ultimately a shallow experience that does not offer much more than its demo but I am curious what Sandman can create in the future.

    Guild of Darksteel is a short, simple game that only takes a few hours to get through. There's nothing offensive or necessarily bad about it, but it's hard to recommend all the same.

    A mix of a platformer and a rhythm game, inspired by the original Prince of Persia (the one from 1989) and set in a dark fantasy world. Unfortunately, an interesting combat system is not enough to counterbalance repetitiveness and some crude gameplay mechanics. Also, Prince of Persia looked better. [10/2021, p.41]

Story, visuals and sound is very bland, adding nothing to the overall slow experience. The lack of direction and back tracking make this game more of a choir than a fun experience. Too bad, because as mentioned, the combat system is good. Expand
