    If you’re looking for a short, colorful adventure to entertain you for a few hours, it’s hard to go wrong here. Just watch your step.

    Toren has great style and a compelling story to tell. Though it’s dragged down by its gameplay, it’s still far more than worth the asking price for the experience it offers.

    If you're curious about the plot, and the technical issues haven't scared you off, it's probably worth giving Toren its $10, 90-minute shot.

    I bought the game already imagining that it would not be the most amazing game ever launched or the GOTY. More than an Indie game, theI bought the game already imagining that it would not be the most amazing game ever launched or the GOTY. More than an Indie game, the producer, Swordtales, comes from Brazil, a place where game making is on the first steps to maturity.

    After playing the game for about 2 hours, I can say somethings about it. The gameplay is rather short (1h20-2h is all you need to finish the game) and it's rather clunck and lack some variety. But the ambience and the music are amazing. The graphics, although not next gen are very good and they integrate very well with the music and settings. The story is beautiful, altough I think it need more space and development.

    What I want to say is that the game needed and should be longer, so the gameplay and the story could develop better. Because of the short gameplay time the story is sometimes confusing what makes you want more information (for better understanding and to know the story better).

    There are also some little bugs and glitches here and there (mostly visual) but nothing that would block your gameplay

    Pros
    +Amazing Soundtrack - Music - 9/10
    +Beautiful Settings and Ambience - Art - 8,5/10
    +Lovely Story - Story - 8/10

    Neutral
    -+ Some visual Glitches and bugs - Game Stability - 7/10
    -+ Fair Graphics - Graphics - 6,5/10

    Cons
    -Short and clunky gameplay - Gameplay - 6/10
    -Underdeveloped Narrative - Narrative - 6/10

    Score - 7/10

    "Buy it or not?" - Do it! Although it's short, it's cheap and the amazing music, ambience and good story are worth it    … Full Review »
