    This is a cool twist on the story of Adam and Eve. With great music, graphics and a great story Smelter combines the platforming and real time strategy genres with great success.

    A satisfying combination of action platformer and strategy game. The former might be notably better here than the latter, but Smelter is a decently long game with great visuals and gameplay.

    Smelter is an average title. The side-scrolling action is rather well done and, taken on its own, makes for a strong platformer. The strategy portions lack depth, and when combined with your overall weak state, it makes the experience a bit of a slog. The title is ambitious, and those willing to forgive the strategy portion should check it out.

    The RTS layer is limited and repetitive, but the platforming levels are well-designed and challenging.

    If only the highly derivative RTS part of Smelter was skipped during development, it would probably allow its platform segments to truly shine. Here is hoping that a possible sequel will follow the route of ActRaiser (a game so similar you’d believe Smelter might be a spin-off) and be made exclusively as platform game.
