    Nocturnal features fast and furious action as well as an interesting gameplay system with fire and light. With good graphics, atmosphere and entertainment, at least for the few hours it offers.

    Nocturnal has got its problems. Locking you out of areas you feel you haven't completely cleared yet, being the main one. I still did enjoy myself playing this, however. To me, it was the right game at the right time, managing to simultaneously be a taster and a alternative draft for Ubisoft's upcoming Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. So, if you have 5 hours to kill, you'll find a (mostly refreshingly) bare-bones, tight and mostly well-made indie title that loves the old 2D Prince of Persias as much as you do. Worth a look.

Some story pieces are hidden in very complex places and ending is so cliche. And some checkpoints are dumb ass… Full Review »

    I really love the art style of this 2D side-scrolling game. I read somewhere it was a metroidvania but it is not. The game is not really long but if you like action-platformer games, you will probably like this one. It's not overly challenging, although you may end up dying, it won't leave you feeling frustrated. To unlock the No Stone Unturned Achievement, you will have to find all fire shrines which are missable. If you need some help with the game, please have a look to my guide on Youtube : GuyLinkBrush Gaming Nocturnal    … Full Review »
