Feb 5, 2024Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior encourages players to best themselves through each rewind of time which is challenging, rewarding, and fast fun.

Feb 20, 2024Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior is a passionate and engaging video game, which expresses its best through game design, one of the most valuable and focused that I have had in my hands. A greater commitment regarding progression would have been appreciated, but the work presents vast possibilities for different choices and approaches based on the clashes. It's a hack'n slash that achieves its goal, and much more, also supported by an exciting story.

Feb 5, 2024Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior is a refreshing, fun and addictive game. Its challenges are well measured and satisfying. The game pushes us to be better, and that challenge feels great. Its final stretch should have been shorter to be an outstanding game.

Feb 15, 2024Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior is a great puzzle action game that plays out very differently than you might expect. Whilst it holds onto some of its best puzzle ideas until relatively late in the game, the layered time-shifted combat is very satisfying as you take multiple runs at each encounter, trying out new skills and approaches as you go. All in all, Lysfanga is a good time that offers plenty of repeat value.

Feb 5, 2024With a unique twist that gives it a puzzle-game feel, Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior is a solid title that definitely stands out in the hack-and-slash genre. The emphasis on combat, the absence of RPG-like mechanics, and reliance on trial-and-error impact the experience slightly, making the game a worthwhile purchase only for die-hard fans of the genre who are tired of the constant grind for better loot.

Feb 5, 2024Lysfanga combines action-packed hack & slay battles with a clever puzzle mechanic that allows you to solve arenas full of opponents in co-op with yourself thanks to the time loop. However, the idea only really shines if you like to challenge yourself, find the optimal build and keep chasing a better time.

Feb 5, 2024Maybe it's that Lysfanga can't figure out how to square the circle between a combat game and a puzzle game. The game is never sufficiently challenged on either term, with the combat often clunky thanks to its combo commits and random AOE damage, and the puzzle aspects faint and fiddly, mostly concerned with restricting the already-limited gear selection or arbitrarily expanding enemy HP. Its worldbuilding remains quite interesting with some characterful style throughout, but Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior needs more satisfying goals and rewards to inspire its players onward to the next loop.
